# §680.660. Are separating military service members eligible for dislocated worker activities under the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act?


If the separating service member is separating from the Armed Forces with a discharge that is anything other than dishonorable, the separating service member qualifies for dislocated worker activities based on the following criteria:

- (a) The separating service member has received a notice of separation, a DD-214 from the Department of Defense, or other documentation showing a separation or imminent separation from the Armed Forces to satisfy the termination or layoff part of the dislocated worker eligibility criteria in WIOA [sec. 3(15)(A)(i)](/cfr/20/3.md?p=15-A-i);
- (b) The separating service member qualifies for the dislocated worker eligibility criteria on eligibility for or exhaustion of unemployment compensation in WIOA sec. [3(15)(A)(ii)(I)](/cfr/20/3.md?p=15-A-ii-I) or [(II)](/cfr/20/3.md?p=15-A-ii-II); and,
- (c) As a separating service member, the individual meets the dislocated worker eligibility criteria that the individual is unlikely to return to a previous industry or occupation in WIOA [sec. 3(15)(A)(iii)](/cfr/20/3.md?p=15-A-iii).
