TRAINING SERIES
WIA Closure, Exit and Follow-up
WIA
Workforce Investment Act
Activity Closure
All activities and services provided through
WIA adult, dislocated worker, or youth
funding must be recorded in the State’s
management information system, Employ
Florida Marketplace (EFM).
For each activity or service, a projected end
date is entered in EFM.
At the conclusion of the service or activity,
the activity must be closed in EFM.
WIA
Activity Closure
When activities are closed in EFM, case
managers may record the attainment of a
credential (degree or certificate). This will affect
two federal performance outcomes:
Attainment of a Degree or Certificate (youth
outcome)
Adult/Dislocated Worker/Youth Employment and
Credential (degree or certificate)

WIA
Case Closure
Once all WIA activities have been closed, a WIA
Case Closure can be created.

Youth outcome information (literacy/numeracy
and skill attainment)

Case Closure
Additional benefit from the creation of a case
closure:
Ability to provide follow-up services
WIA
Follow-up Services
Follow-up services that may be provided after
WIA Case Closure or after Exit include:
Mentoring & tutoring
Job search & job support activities
Supportive services
Referrals to community resources
WIA
Exit
An exit takes place after a client ceases to
receive any service from one of three federal
workforce programs (WIA, Wagner-Peyser,
Trade Act).
Generally, case managers do not create an
exit.
EFM is set up to create a soft exit for an
individual who has not received a service
from a federal program for at least 90
consecutive days.
WIA
Exit
The exit date for a soft exit is the last day of
activity.
Case managers need to manually record an
Exit (hard exit) for individuals who meet one
of the criteria for a global exclusion.
WIA
Global Exclusion
A Global Exclusion is available for individuals
who have a planned gap in service that will
exceed 90 days for one of the following reasons:
Health/Medical – Participant receiving medical
treatment that precludes entry into unsubsidized
employment or continued participation in the
program
Institutionalized – Participant is residing in an
institution or facility providing 24-hour support,
such as a prison or hospital
WIA
Global Exclusion
Deceased
Reservist called to active duty – Participant is
a member of the National Guard or military
Reserve unit and is called to active duty
Family care – Participant is providing care for
a family member with a health/medical
condition
that
precludes
entry
into
unsubsidized employment or continued
participation in the program
WIA
Global Exclusion
Relocated to a Mandated Program (youth
participants only) – the participant is in the
foster care system or another mandated
(residential or non-residential) program and
has moved from the area as part of such a
program. This does not include relocation to a
Job Corps center
WIA
Global Exclusion
An individual who did not disclose a valid
social security number is also excluded from
performance measure. EFM automatically
excludes such an individual when it soft exits
them.
WIA
Exit
To create a hard exit, case managers record the
information in the “Create WIA Outcome”
section in EFM.
WIA
WIA
Post-Exit Follow-Up Contacts
The primary goal of WIA is to provide a
continuum of services that yield long-term
benefits for clients.
The purpose of the post-exit follow-up
contacts is to collect data to be used for
reporting post-exit outcomes.
Follow-up contacts are made after a client
has exited from all workforce activities.
WIA
Post-Exit Follow-Up Contacts
Long-term, post-exit outcomes are recognized
when case managers enter the information in the
follow-up screens in EFM.
WIA
Post-Exit Follow-Up Contacts
EFM automatically creates a quarterly
Follow-Up schedule which case managers are
required to use to make their quarterly followup contacts.
Such contacts must be recorded in the Create
a Follow-up section of EFM.
Updated outcome information may be entered
into EFM during the Follow-Up period.
