Retraining & Educational Benefits
The federal
government provides special retraining budgets to the states, generally on a
fiscal year basis, for re-training that are allocated to the counties through
special employment service centers that are designated to facilitate
“re-employment services”. The
counties determine how much of an allowance can be allocated to each dislocated
worker who applies, and this funding is available to qualifying dislocated
worker applicants until it becomes exhausted.
The County/state employment service
centers that administer these retraining funds are designated as providing
“RE-EMPLOYMENT SERVICES”. These
employment service centers are listed by county; however a person can apply for
retraining at any re-employment service center in any county, as this is a state
administered federal program.
To qualify for retraining or further academic education, an applicant
needs to be able to show that he or she is not likely to become reemployed in
that same job designation, career or field and needs further education or
training.
The applicant is responsible for identifying what additional training or
education is required, and describing how this will make the dislocated worker
more employable. The state or
county maintains a list of approved educational facilities where further
training or education can be funded, and possibly additional facilities can be
added.
Emergency
and Transitional Community Services
Dislocated workers who are suddenly unemployed are likely to experience various hardships. The government addresses these problems to limited degrees through unemployment insurance. There are also various community support structures and emergency services that a dislocated worker (or the family of a dislocated worker) will want to consider.
