WIOA Title I-A & I-B Policy & Procedure Manual Ch. 1) Administration and Governance
1.6 Maintenance and Retention of Records
1.6.1 Overview
Effective date: July 1, 2020
Local Workforce Development Boards (WDBs), grantees, and/or subrecipients are organizations that are not a part of state government and therefore are not accountable to the state policies that govern records maintenance and retention for state agencies and employees.1 DWD's Division of Employment and Training (DWD-DET) requires that its grantees and subrecipients have local written policies in place to govern access to and retention of grant-related records compliant with WIOA, OMB's Uniform Administrative Guidance, and this WIOA Titles I-A and I-B Policy & Procedure Manual. DWD-DET recommends that its grantees and subrecipients seek assistance from their own legal counsel or records management staff for the development of these policies.2
1 The Department of Workforce Development (DWD) is legally responsible for grant records created by DWD employees. These records follow requirements and retention under ADM00013 – Grant Documentation.
