WIOA supersedes the Workforce Investment Act (WIA) of 1998 and amends the Adult Education and Family Literacy Act, the Wagner-Peyser Act, and the Rehabilitation Act of 1973. WIOA went into effect on July 1, 2015.

Consider the gross amount of stipends received from WIOA-funded programs as either earned or unearned income as described below. Stipends may be received in lieu of or in addition to wages from the participating employer.

WIOA income for children under the age of 18 is exempt except for minor parent caretakers on their own case. This includes income that is funded by both WIOA and an employer. Payments received for the Summer Youth Employment and Training Program (SYETP) or any comparable AmeriCorps program for summer youth employment is also excluded.
