3. Performance Reporting and Data Validation for the WIA Title IB Programs. For
Program Year (PY) 2011, 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 1, 2012.
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 new online Enterprise Data
Reporting and Validation System (E-DRVS) on, or before, October 1, 2012. (Additional
guidance and instructions on use of the E-DRVS will be issued separately.) Submission of
timely and accurate data is required in section 136 of the WIA. Furthermore, a timely and
validated annual report is one of the criteria for WIA 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, 2013. Please see Attachment A of this TEGL for the
source documentation requirements for PY 2011 WIA data element validation.
States and other jurisdictions that are approved to report only the common performance
measure outcomes for WIA programs for PY 2011 (Alabama, Alaska, Arkansas, California,
Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, District of Columbia, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Illinois,
Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Massachusetts, 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
grayed out fields to indicate the information that is not required as part of the state’s annual
report submission. Please note a slight difference beginning in PY 2012: states with an
approved common measure waiver are being asked to supply participant and exiter
counts for younger youth and older youth on tables M and O.
B. WIA Annual Report Narrative – Due no later than October 1, 2012.
States should e-mail electronic copies of their narrative annual report to [email protected]
and their Regional Administrator no later than October 1, 2012. Guidance in TEGL 7-11,
Workforce Investment Act (WIA) Annual Report Narrative, specifically identifies those
2
required portions that states must provide as well as those portions that states are encouraged
to provide. NOTE: In the WIA PY 2011 Annual Report Narrative guidance to be published
separately, ETA will encourage states to add a discussion of their programs, initiatives and
strategies for serving veterans at the state and local levels.
C. The WIA Standardized Record Data files – Annual File due no later than September
15, 2012.
Beginning with the PY 2011 fourth quarter annual WIASRD submissions, states (except
Workforce Investment Streamlined Performance Reporting states) will be required to submit
a WIASRD file to the updated E-DRVS. This new system will no longer be PC-based
software, but instead will be an online portal tied to the Enterprise Business Support System
(EBSS). Specific system instructions will follow in a separate TEGL; the overall upload and
edit check process will remain the same.
The E-DRVS will eliminate the need to upload annual or quarterly results to EBSS. E-DRVS
will now complete all data reporting functionality once carried out in EBSS.
All of the edit checks and valid value requirements for the WIASRD Quarterly reports are
fully articulated in Attachments A through E of TEGL 17-09.
The following quarterly WIASRD modifications were instituted in PY 2009 and are
explained in sections 4.A – 4.D of TEGL 17-09:
• The submission includes data fields previously not accepted by EBSS.
• The submission includes 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 PY are due
45 days following the end of the quarter (November 14, February 14, and May 15,
respectively). The due date for the fourth quarter of each PY is 75 days following the end of
the quarter, or September 15, 2012. This additional time provides states with the opportunity
to better align their fourth quarter WIASRD data with their WIA Annual Report data, which
is 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. For
PY 2011, the WIASRD files will be locked on October 1, 2012.
Similar to the former process where an annual submission of individual records was
submitted to DRVS, the quarterly WIASRD submission into E-DRVS will be used to
compute the ETA 9090 quarterly report. Therefore, the lagged cohorts to be included in the
quarterly submission must correspond to the cohorts in the annual submission. A change
with the implementation of the E-DRVS will require states to submit their quarterly
WIASRD files into the software itself for edit checking. This change will allow states to
3
automatically generate the 9090 report immediately after the WIASRD submission. E-DRVS
will also act as the repository for these records and reports instead of EBSS. The automatic
generation of the 9090 report is also due 45 days following the end of the quarter.
Please note the following items when generating and submitting WIASRD files:
WIASRD item 309 (incumbent worker (Statewide 15 percent 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 valid values for the
American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (Recovery Act) of 2009 co-enrollments.
All states with a Recovery Act-funded On-the-Job-Training NEG should report using
their assigned NEG code. Additional information can be found at:
http://www.doleta.gov/performance/reporting/answers.cfm and
http://www.doleta.gov/neg/negperf/training.cfm
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 code.
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 (Disaster NEG temporary job wages)
- 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.
ETA is aware that the occupation of employment element requires manual follow-up with the
exiter. The occupation of employment is frequently asked for when reporting to ETA’s
stakeholders on the effectiveness of the workforce programs, especially the training that is
provided. In order to address this burden, ETA will propose collection of the North
American Industry Classification Coding System for the first quarter after exit in which an
exiter is able to enter employment. This change will be proposed as part of the renewal of the
Workforce Investment Act Performance Management System; the current forms expire on
December 31, 2012. Until the reporting changes have been approved and implemented,
states are encouraged to collect the information about occupation of employment when
providing follow-up services.
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
4
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 required. States with Recovery Act funded NEGs
should continue to report the 9148 on a monthly basis through the life of the grant.
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 (Office of Management and Budget No. 1205-0240) on a quarterly basis. States
must submit their PY 2011 fourth quarter reports no later than August 31, 2012. This will
be done utilizing the new E-DRVS.
The fourth quarter PY 2011 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, 2012 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. Through the use of E-DRVS, states will be able to upload Wagner-Peyser
individual record files to run all necessary edit checks. All states are required to perform data
element validation using the E-DRVS. As with the WIASRD, E-DRVS will act as the reporting
mechanism for Wagner-Peyser. As such, states will no longer be required to upload aggregate
results to EBSS.
Trade Adjustment Assistance. States are required to submit the Trade Act Participant Report
(TAPR) on a quarterly basis, no later than 45 days after the end of the report quarter. The fourth
quarter TAPR for Fiscal Year 2011 is due no later than November 14, 2012. States
administering TAA programs are not required to submit an annual report; states are required to
submit individual participant records only for TAA.
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.
The final NFJP participant data for PY 2010 (participants with exit dates between July 1, 2010
and June 30, 2011 are due to ETA’s contractor (Social Policy Research Associates) on May 15,
2012. Data element validation for PY 2010 must be submitted to ETA by November 2,
2012. Please see Attachment D of this TEGL for the source documentation requirements for PY
2010 NFJP data element validation. NFJP grantees should use NFJP Data Validation Software
Version 2.0.
5
6. Division of 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
For assistance with WIA Quarterly reporting timeframes for each measure based on both the year
and quarter, an auto-populating spreadsheet is available at:
http://www.doleta.gov/performance/guidance/WIA/WIAQuarterlyReportingTimeFrames.xls.
The annual report timeframes can be derived from this spreadsheet by selecting the year and the
4th quarter.
8. 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.
9. 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.
10. 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) 2011 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. States are authorized to use
state-specific versions of the federally approved documentation. No additional
documentation sources may be utilized.
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. This record fails validation.
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. This record fails validation.
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. This record fails
validation.
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 School Status at Participation (DRVS Field# 30), 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 in a database. An indicator or presence of an SSN in a
non-WIA database is not sufficient evidence. For example, Temporary Assistance
to Needy Families (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 of
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. Locating this detailed information represents a deeper
level of inquiry than the appearance of a date in the state MIS and makes it
unnecessary for such states to validate this data element in local offices.
3. Self-Attestation: Self-attestation (also referred to as a participant statement) 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, 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. If a
date is in field # 66, the participant received staff-assisted core services.

Attachment D: PY 2011 NFJP data element validation source requirements (https://www.dol.gov/sites/dolgov/files/ETA/advisories/TEGL/2012/TEGL_28-11-Atta4.pdf).
ATTACHMENT D
SOURCE DOCUMENTATION REQUIREMENTS FOR PROGRAM YEAR
(PY) 2011 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.
