Maine Waiver Request: Waiver of State and Local Youth Spending Flexibility for Program Years 2024 & 2025 – Public Comment

The State of Maine requests a waiver of Section 129(a)(4)(A) and 20 CFR 681.410 which require state and local areas to spend not less than 75 percent of youth funds to provide career and training services to out-of-school youth. Maine requests that the waiver be approved for two consecutive program years PY2024 and PY2025 to allow local areas to expend 50% on in-school-youth and 50% on out-of-school youth. This request is being made under the Secretary’s authority at WIOA Section 189(i)(3)(B) to waive certain requirements of WIOA Title I.

The Maine Department is requesting those interested in providing public comment to please review the youth waiver and request and submit public comments.
