Required Elements for Submission of the Unified or Combined State Plan and Plan Modifications under the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act

This consolidated information collection implements sections 102 and 103 of the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) (P.L. 113-128), which requires each State to submit a Unified State Plan or, in the alternative, a Combined State Plan. The Unified or Combined State Plan requirements improve service integration and ensure that the workforce system is industry-relevant by responding to the economic needs of the State and matching employers with skilled workers. To that end, the Unified or Combined State Plan would describe how the State will develop and implement a unified, integrated service delivery system rather than discuss the State's approach to operating each core program individually.

The latest form for Required Elements for Submission of the Unified or Combined State Plan and Plan Modifications under the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act expires 2027-03-31 and is listed under ICR 202509-1205-001.
