# §683.710. Who is responsible for funds provided under title I of the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act and the Wagner-Peyser Act?

- (a) The recipient of the funds is responsible for all funds under its grant(s) awarded under WIOA title I and the Wagner-Peyser Act.
- (b)
  - (1) The local government's chief elected official(s) in a local area is liable for any misuse of the WIOA grant funds allocated to the local area under WIOA secs. [128](/cfr/20/128.md) and [133](/cfr/20/133.md), unless the chief elected official(s) reaches an agreement with the Governor to bear such liability.
  - (2) When a local workforce area or region is composed of more than one unit of general local government, the liability of the individual jurisdictions must be specified in a written agreement between the chief elected officials.
  - (3) When there is a change in the chief elected official(s), the Local WDB is required to inform the new chief elected official(s), in a timely manner, of their responsibilities and liabilities as well as the need to review and update any written agreements among the chief elected official(s).
  - (4) The use of a fiscal agent does not relieve the chief elected official, or Governor if designated under [paragraph (b)(1)](#b-1) of this section, of responsibility for any misuse of grant funds allocated to the local area under WIOA secs. [128](/cfr/20/128.md) and [133](/cfr/20/133.md).
