SUMMARY OF UPDATES

The new WIOA regulations require Nebraska VR to begin collecting additional data from clients. Three new WIOA screens have been added to QE2 to aid in collecting this data:

These three screens will be required on all clients exiting VR after IPE approval. This affects all IPE’s approved that are active cases in QE2 on February 15, 2017.

This new data will not be required for clients who terminate before IPE approval.

Four videoconference training sessions will be held over the next two weeks to introduce staff to the new WIOA Data Elements that go into effect 2/15/2017.
