provides verification that an individual is receiving TANF or SNAP benefits. Because Human Services verifies the SSN that appears on the CBMS record, this record may be used in lieu of an SSN card for eligibility. However, in some local areas, the SSN card may be required for the individual to participate in paid work experiences or other wage subsidy programs. Also, use of the CBMS document has no impact on Data Validation, as the SSN is not a data element that falls under Data Validation review. 8. Are we still going to be able to use CUBS screens to document Dislocated Worker eligibility? CDLE Response: Yes, the guidance regarding the use of CUBS screen and UI documents has not changed. 9. We’re confused by the wording in the definition of Farm and Ranch employment in the Dislocated Worker eligibility guidelines. Does it apply to self-employed farmers or farm workers? CDLE Response: We’ll be changing the wording to clarify that the definition is referring to both those who are self-employed and those working for a farm or ranch business who lose their income from a closure or reduction in the farming or ranching operation. 10. In the new regulations, is it possible to help pay for an adult to get their GED before they move on to other training or a job? Does getting a GED have to be attached to an occupation or industry sector? CDLE Response: Paying for GED (or HiSet or TASC) classes and testing may occur before training or job placement and does not have to be attached to an occupation or industry sector, unless your local policy requires it. 11. Do WIOA Title I eligibility requirements apply to Adult Education Programs? CDLE Response: No, Title I eligibility requirements do not apply to Title II Adult Education programs. These requirements are relevant to Adult Education staff only when they are considering referral of Adult Ed students to their One-Stop Center for enrollment in a WIOA Title I program. 12. May Title II Adult Education assessments be used by Title I case managers? CDLE Response: Yes, WIOA encourages the use of assessment results provided by partners, when appropriate, to avoid unnecessary retesting of customers.
