§683.500. What is a Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act Pay-for-Performance contract strategy?
20 C.F.R. § 683.500
A WIOA Pay-for-Performance contract strategy is a specific type of performance-based contract strategy that has four distinct characteristics:
It is a strategy to use WIOA Pay-for-Performance contracts as they are described in § 683.510;
It must include the identification of the workforce development problem and target populations for which a local area will pursue a WIOA Pay-for-Performance contract strategy; the outcomes the local area would hope to achieve through a Pay-for-Performance contract relative to baseline performance; and the acceptable cost to government associated with achieving these outcomes;
It must include a strategy for independently validating the performance outcomes achieved under each contract within the strategy prior to payment occurring; and
It must include a description of how the State or local area will reallocate funds to other activities under the contract strategy in the event a service provider does not achieve performance benchmarks under a WIOA Pay-for-Performance contract.
Prior to the implementation of a WIOA Pay-for-Performance contract strategy, a local area must conduct a feasibility study to determine whether the intervention is suitable for a WIOA Pay-for-Performance contract strategy.
The WIOA Pay-for-Performance contract strategy must be developed in accordance with guidance issued by the Secretary.
