3. Performance Reporting and Data Validation for the WIA Title IB Programs. For
Program Year (PY) 2010, each state is required to make the following submissions for
WIA to the Employment and Training Administration (ETA):
A. A validated WIA Annual Report (ETA 9091 - OMB No. 1205-0420) – Due no later
than October 3, 2011.
Please note that states are required to complete report validation prior to submitting
the annual report Tables A-O (ETA 9091) to ETA through the Enterprise Business
Support System (EBSS) on, or before, October 1, 2011. Submission of timely and
accurate data is required in section 136 of WIA. Furthermore, a timely and validated
annual report is one of the criteria for incentive eligibility. See TEGL 9-07 for further
clarification.
Data element validation, using the file of exiters and participants reported on the
ETA 9091, must be submitted by February 1, 2012. Please see Attachment A of this
TEGL for the source documentation requirements for PY 2010 WIA data element
validation.
States that are approved to report only the common performance measure outcomes
for WIA programs for PY 2010 (Alabama, Alaska, Arkansas, California, Colorado,
Connecticut, Delaware, District of Columbia, Florida, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana,
Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska,
Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina,
North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, South
Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Virginia, Virgin Islands, Washington, West
Virginia, Wisconsin, and Wyoming) do not have to report outcomes for the customer
satisfaction measures, the credential measure for Adults and Dislocated Workers, or
the Older and Younger Youth measures on the WIA Annual Report. These states,
along with all other states, are to report outcomes for the youth common
performance measures.
States that are approved to report only the common performance measure outcomes
should reference Attachment B of this TEGL, which contains the WIA Annual
Report format with strikeouts to indicate the information that is not required as part
of the state’s annual report submission.
2
B. A WIA Annual Report Narrative – Due no later than October 3, 2011.
States should e-mail electronic copies of their narrative annual report to
[email protected] and their Regional Administrator. Guidance in TEGL 9-10,
Workforce Investment Act (WIA) Annual Report Narrative specifically identifies those
required portions that states must provide as well as those portions that states are
encouraged to provide.
C. The WIA Standardized Record Data files – Due no later than September 15, 2011.
There are significant changes to the frequency and content of the WIA Standardized
Record Data (WIASRD) file submissions. In accordance with TEGL 7-10, grantees
are now required to submit the WIASRD file for both participants and exiters on a
quarterly basis.
A number of states have used the Data Reporting and Validation System (DRVS) to
prepare their annual WIASRD file for final submission to ETA. When a state
uploads individual records into DRVS, the system not only validates the data by
checking for data entry errors, missing values, and inconsistencies between fields,
but also automatically selects and formats the data for uploading into EBSS.
However, the export routine in DRVS removes and modifies the data before
producing a WIASRD file for uploading into EBSS.
Since DRVS has not been modified to allow for the exporting of participant records,
states should not use DRVS to produce their quarterly WIASRD files. Instead,
ETA has modified EBSS to allow states to submit their individual records directly to
the system based on the current specifications for uploading data into DRVS. EBSS
has conducted edit checks based on updated specifications for the WIASRD edit
checks and valid value requirements. All edit checks and valid value requirements
are fully articulated in Attachments A through E of TEGL 17-09.
There are several ways in which the quarterly submission of WIASRD files will be
unique. These modifications are explained in sections 4.A – 4.D of TEGL 17-09:
The submission will include data fields previously not accepted by EBSS.
The submission will include data on all participants who have not exited. To
accommodate this participant data, some WIASRD fields have required values
for participants without exit dates.
There are changes to the technical process of uploading individual record files
into EBSS.
States will submit to ETA the individual record files for participants who receive
“self and informational services only” (hereafter referred to as self-service only
participants).
WIASRD quarterly submissions for the first, second, and third quarters of each
Program Year are due 45 days following the end of the quarter. The due date for the
3
fourth quarter of each Program Year is 75 days following the end of the quarter.
This additional time provides states with the opportunity to better align their fourth
quarter WIASRD data with their WIA Annual Report data due no later than October
1st of each year. States have an additional 15 days following the due date to address
data errors; WIASRD files are locked from editing after this period. Should the due
date fall on a Saturday or Sunday, the quarterly WIASRD file is due the following
Monday.
Similar to the annual submission of individual records, the quarterly WIASRD
submission will be used to compute certain performance measures. Therefore, the
lagged cohorts to be included in the quarterly submission must correspond to the
cohorts in the annual submission. In practical terms, states will be submitting an
annual report on a quarterly basis. Therefore, states will no longer be required to
submit an annual WIASRD file.
Please note the following items when generating and submitting WIASRD files:
WIASRD item 309 (Incumbent Worker (Statewide 15% Activities)), has been
updated to allow states to track Incumbent Workers who received local formula
funds or Rapid Response funds. Please note the changes in the field description
and valid value requirements for this item.
WIASRD item 326 (Other Non-WIA Programs) includes new valid values to
allow states to code American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 co-
enrollments.
Please ensure that WIASRD item 342 Occupational Skills Training Code is
completed; O*NET codes are available at http://online.onetcenter.org/.
Please ensure that WIASRD item 619, Type of Recognized Credential, is
completed for each individual who has earned a credential, certificate, or degree.
If the exiter was a Workforce Innovation in Regional Economic Development
(WIRED) or Military Spouse Career Advancement Account (CAA) funded
recipient, item 313c should contain the appropriate WIRED or CAA grant
number.
The most common WIASRD data problems are missing or incomplete
information in the service items that were added in PY 2005 and on the
occupation of the training program. The service items that were added in PY
2005 included the following:
- Received disaster relief assistance
- Received Core Self-Services and Informational Activities
- Date of first staff assisted core service
- Received Workforce information services
- Date completed or withdrew from training
- Received prevocational activities
- Enrolled in education
The occupation of the job held in the quarter after exit is frequently missing.
States are encouraged to collect this data when providing follow-up services, as it
is not available in wage record data.
4
In addition to these items, ETA has developed Attachment C of this TEGL, which
contains a list of common errors identified during the analysis of WIASRD
submissions from previous years. States should contact ETA’s National Office at
[email protected], with the subject line of WIASRD submission, if they need
additional assistance.
Please visit http://www.doleta.gov/performance/reporting for the most recent
WIASRD file format.
Please note that in addition to the annual reporting requirements enumerated in
sections A-C above, states must also submit Quarterly and Supplemental Monthly
Reports to ETA through EBSS.
As described in TEGL 7-10, states are required to submit supplemental reports for
WIA Adults, Dislocated Workers, and Youth programs, NEG, and Wagner-Peyser
Employment Service and Reemployment Services Grants for reporting under the
ARRA. States must continue to submit these reports through June 30, 2011. The
final report for the ARRA will be August 15 (not the customary July 15) to provide
states with extra time to make any final corrections to their ARRA data.
4. Performance Reporting and Data Validation for Other State-Based Programs.
Wagner-Peyser Employment Service. States are required to submit the ETA 9002 and
VETS 200 reports (OMB No. 1205-0240) on a quarterly basis. States must submit their
PY 2010 fourth quarter reports no later than August 31, 2011.
The fourth quarter PY 2010 Wagner-Peyser Employment Service submission requires
report validation and minimal data element validation. Data element validation must
be completed for the ETA 9002 and VETS 200 reports prior to submitting the final
fourth quarter reports by the August 31, 2011, due date. A minimal data element
validation sample of 25 job seekers must be reviewed and compared to state-level data
prior to submitting the ETA 9002 and VETS 200 reports to ensure that the files used to
conduct report validation were properly constructed. Although DRVS is not being
modified to export the modified WIASRD file, DRVS will still be able to conduct data
element validation procedures. All states are still required to perform data element
validation using the DRVS. Also, all states are required to submit their summary and
analytical reports for data element validation through the EBSS.
5. Data Validation for the National Farmworker Jobs Program. Grantees
administering the NFJP are not required to submit a performance outcomes report.
Grantees are required to submit individual participant records for the NFJP, which are
used by ETA to calculate the performance outcomes for each grantee. Therefore,
grantees are not required to conduct report validation, but must conduct data element
validation.
5
The final NFJP participant data for PY 2009 (participants with exit dates between
7/1/2009 and 6/30/2010) were due to ETA’s contractor (Social Policy Research
Associates) on May 15, 2010. Data element validation for PY 2009 must be
submitted to ETA by November 2, 2011. Please see Attachment D of this TEGL for the
source documentation requirements for PY 2009 NFJP data element validation. NFJP
grantees should use NFJP Data Validation Software Version 2.0.
6. Indian and Native American Program Reporting. Grantees administering the INAP
are not required to submit a performance outcomes report. Grantees are required to
submit individual participant records for the INAP, which are used by ETA to calculate
the performance outcomes for each grantee.
7. Data Reporting and Validation Resources. ETA provides several resources to states
in order to assist them in reporting timely and accurate data. As previously mentioned,
one of the criteria for incentive eligibility is that the data used to compute the
performance outcomes must be submitted on time and be accurate.
WIA Annual and Quarterly Report handbooks are available at:
http://www.doleta.gov/performance/reporting
Data validation software applications and User Guides for each program are at:
http://www.doleta.gov/performance/reporting/tools_datavalidation.cfm
8. Changes to Required Source Documentation for Data Validation. In 2010, there
was a change to the source documentation requirements for DRVS Field #3, ‘Date of
Birth.’ The allowable documents for ‘Date of Birth’ are now aligned with the level of
service, such that a hard or electronic copy of the participant’s I.D. will only be required
for a participant who receives intensive and/or training services. The following source
documentation requirements are also included in Attachment A of this document.
o For participants participating in self-service only activities, self-attestation is
acceptable.
o For WIA Adult, Dislocated Worker, and NEG participants receiving staff-
assisted core services only, the hard or electronic case notes should reflect that
the client has shown proof of age. The notes should include, for example, the
driver’s license number or other uniquely identifiable information of the
document.
o For all WIA Youth program participants and WIA Adult and Dislocated
Worker/NEG participants receiving intensive and/or training services, a hard or
electronic copy of the participant’s I.D. must be kept in the case file. The I.D.
should be one of the following: driver’s license, baptismal record, birth
certificate, DD-214, Report of Transfer or Discharge paper, Federal, state or local
identification card, passport, hospital record of birth, public assistance/social
6
service records, school records or ID cards, work permit, cross match with
Department of Vital Statistics, or tribal records.
9. Training and Technical Assistance. States and grantees are encouraged to request
technical assistance on validation procedures and the use of the reporting and
validation tools by contacting Regional and/or National Office program staff.
10. Action Requested. States and grantees should: 1) distribute this guidance to the
appropriate staff; 2) complete report and data validation activities within the
timeframes established in Sections 3, 4 and 5 of this guidance; and 3) provide the
appropriate Regional Office with updates on the reporting and validation process.
11. Inquiries. Questions regarding performance reporting should be directed to the
appropriate ETA Regional Office, or to the Office of Policy Development and Research
at [email protected].

ATTACHMENT A
SOURCE DOCUMENTATION REQUIREMENTS FOR PROGRAM
YEAR (PY) 2010 WIA DATA ELEMENT VALIDATION
WORKFORCE INVESTMENT ACT DATA ELEMENT VALIDATION
INSTRUCTIONS AND SOURCE DOCUMENTATION
Validation Instructions: These instructions present the data elements, reference
numbers, formats, element definitions, federal sources, state/grantee sources, and
validation rules needed to perform data element validation. The federal sources are the
generic, federally recommended source documentation. The "State Sources" column
can be used to enter state-specific versions of the federally approved documentation.
A. VALIDATION RULES
Two types of validation rules exist:
1. If the validation instruction says MATCH: Enter a checkmark in the box in the pass
column if the data on the worksheet match the data in the source documentation.
Enter a checkmark in the box in the fail column if the data on the worksheet do not
match the data in the source documentation or if no source documentation is found.
To match, the data on the worksheet must be the same as the data in the source
documentation. For example, if the worksheet says a participant's date of birth is
July 1, 1975, then the source documentation must also have July 1, 1975 as the birth
date.
The validator must validate data elements that have checkboxes next to them or are
not grayed-out.
2. If the validation instruction says SUPPORT: Enter a checkmark in the box in the
pass column if the data on the worksheet are supported by the data in the source
documentation. Enter a checkmark in the box in the fail column if the data on the
worksheet are not supported by the data in the source documentation or if no
source documentation is found. To support the data on the worksheet, the source
documentation must provide evidence that the data on the worksheet is correct.
This instruction is used when information must be interpreted or processed before
it can be used to assess the accuracy of the data on the participant's records. For
example, source documentation is used to support youth who needs additional
assistance because validators must interpret policy and determine if the
documentation supports that policy.
A-1
B. MISSING AND INVALID RECORDS
There are four conditions used to describe higher level data problems:
1. If a record is missing from the office in which it is supposed to be, the validator
should check the box at the top of the worksheet that says "Missing Record." No
other elements should be validated.
2. If the validator cannot determine where a record is supposed to be located, the
validator should check the box at the top of the worksheet that says "Unable to
Locate." No other elements should be validated.
3. If a record for a person not registered in WIA has wrongly been included in the
extract file, the validator should check the box at the top of the worksheet that says
"Invalid Record." No other elements should be validated.
4. If a record has a wrong Social Security Number (SSN), the validator should check
the "Wrong SSN" checkbox AND validate all data elements listed on the worksheet.
C. TYPES OF SOURCE DOCUMENTATION
For most data elements, the validation instructions provide multiple forms of
acceptable source documentation. Ideally, all source documentation should tell the
same story regarding the participant, services rendered, and outcomes. However, if the
state collects multiple sources for the same data element and the sources conflict, the
most reliable source should be used to determine if the element passes or fails. For
example, for Education Status at Participation (DRVS Field# 16), copies of records from
an educational institution are a more reliable source than participant self-attestation.
For the most part, the definition of a particular source is clear. States have, however,
had questions about four sources—Cross-Match, State Management Information
System (MIS), Self-Attestation, and Case Notes. Definitions for these four types of
source documentation are:
1. Cross-Match: A cross-match requires validators to find detailed supporting
evidence for the data element. An indicator or presence of an SSN in a non-WIA
database is not sufficient evidence. For example, TANF participation can be
determined by a cross-match with the state's public assistance database. It is not
sufficient to find that the sampled SSN is present in the public assistance database;
validators must also find supporting information such as dates of participation and
services rendered.
A-2
2. State MIS: Unless otherwise noted, state MIS refers to specific, detailed information
that is stored in the state’s information system that supports an element. An
indicator, such as a checkmark on a computer screen, is not acceptable source
documentation in and of itself. For example, state MIS is an acceptable source
documentation for date of first training service. To be an acceptable source to
validate date of first training service, in addition to the date of first training, the
state MIS should have information about the type of training and the organization
that provided the training. This detailed information makes valid source
documentation and makes it unnecessary for such states to validate this data
element in local offices.
3. Self-Attestation: Self-attestation occurs when a participant states his or her status
for a particular data element, such as pregnant or parenting youth, and then signs
and dates a form acknowledging this status. The key elements for self-attestation
are: (a) the participant identifying his or her status for permitted elements and (b)
signing and dating a form attesting to this self-identification. The form and
signature can be on paper or in the state management information system, with an
online signature.
4. Case Notes: Case notes refer to either paper or electronic statements by the case
manager that identifies, at a minimum, the following: a participant's status for a
specific data element, the date on which the information was obtained, and the case
manager who obtained the information.
PLEASE NOTE: For DRVS field numbers 3, 12, 16, 21, 21, 22, and 24, the sources differ
for those adults, dislocated workers, and NEGs, where applicable, who received
intensive and/or training services from those who received staff-assisted services only.
If a date is in field # 68 or 69, the participant received intensive and/or training services.

SOURCE DOCUMENTATION REQUIREMENTS FOR PROGRAM YEAR
(PY) 2010 NFJP DATA ELEMENT VALIDATION
This appendix presents the data elements to be validated with their associated
WIASPR number, element definitions, valid values, federal validation sources,
state/grantee sources, and validation instructions needed to perform data element
validation. The federal sources are the generic, federally recommended source
documentation. The "State/Grantee Sources" column can be used to enter grantee-
specific versions of the federally approved documentation.
Two types of validation rules exist:
1. If the validation instruction cell says MATCH: Enter a checkmark in the box in
the pass column if the data on the validation worksheet match the data in the
source documentation. Enter a checkmark in the box in the fail column if the data
on the worksheet do not match the data in the source documentation or if no source
documentation is found. To match, the data on the worksheet must be the same as
the data in the source documentation. For example, if the worksheet says a
participant's date of birth is July 1, 1975, then the source documentation must also
have July 1, 1975 as the birth date.
2. If the validation instruction says SUPPORT: Enter a checkmark in the box in
the pass column if the data on the validation worksheet are supported by the data in
the source documentation. Enter a checkmark in the box in the fail column if the
data on the worksheet are not supported by the data in the source documentation or
if no source documentation is found. To support, the data on the worksheet must
be similar to the data in the source documentation. This instruction is used when
information must be interpreted or processed before it can be applied to the
participant's records. For example, source documentation can support farmworker
status in different ways, by a code or narrative or other information.
For the most part, the definition of a particular source is clear. Grantees may,
however, have questions about three sources—Grantee Management Information
System (MIS), Self-Attestation, and Case Notes. Definitions for these three types
of source documentation are:
D.2
1. MIS: Unless otherwise noted, MIS refers to specific, detailed information
which supports an element that is stored in the grantee’s information system.
An indicator alone, such as a checkmark on a computer screen, is not
acceptable source documentation. For example, a grantee’s MIS is acceptable
source documentation for date of exit if it identifies the last service received in
addition to the date on which that service was received.
2. Self-Attestation: Self-attestation occurs when a participant states his or her
status for a particular data element and then signs and dates a form
acknowledging this status. The key elements for self-attestation are: (a) the
participant identifying his or her status for permitted elements and (b) the
signing and dating of a form attesting to this self-identification. The form and
signature can be on paper or in the state management information system, with
an online signature.
3. Case Notes: Case notes refer to either paper or electronic statements by the
case manager that identifies, at a minimum, the following: a participant's status
for a specific data element, the date on which the information was obtained,
and the case manager who obtained the information.
