§ 631.1 - Scope and purpose.

This part implements Title III of the Act. Title III programs seek to establish an early readjustment capacity for workers and firms in each State; to provide comprehensive coverage to workers regardless of the cause of dislocation; to provide early referral from the unemployment insurance system to adjustment services as an integral part of the adjustment process; to foster labor, management and community partnerships with government in addressing worker dislocation; to emphasize retraining and reemployment services rather than income support; to create an on-going substate capacity to deliver adjustment services; to tailor services to meet the needs of individuals; to improve accountability by establishing a system of mandated performance standards; to improve financial management by monitoring expenditures and reallotting available funds; and to provide the flexibility to target funds to the most critical dislocation problems.
