Pre-Screening Application

The purpose of the Pre-Screening Application is for applicants to provide information that can be reviewed to determine their possible eligibility for WIOA program services. The completion and submission of the form by an applicant does not constitute a definitive eligibility determination but allows the CDC Eligibility Coordinators reviewing the application to decide if the applicant should be requested to report to your local American Job Center to complete a final eligibility determination and WIOA program enrollment.
