View Rule

This rule implements the employment and training (E&T) provisions of section 4022 (a)(2) of the Agricultural Act of 2014. Section 4022 (a)(2) of the Agricultural Act of 2014 requires the Department to monitor and assess State agencies’ E&T programs’ effectiveness in preparing participants for employment and increase the number of participants who obtain and retain employment subsequent to participating in E&T programs. It also requires USDA to develop national reporting measures and for State agencies to report data on additional state-specific measures to the Department. Finally, State agencies are required to submit reports on the impact of certain E&T components and, in certain States, the E&T services provided to able-bodied adults without dependents.
