The Illinois General Assembly passed Public Act 093-0639, which amends The Department of Employment Security Law of the Civil Administration Code of Illinois. This Law requires that the state agency responsible for oversight of the federal Workforce Invnnovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) prepare a report for the Governor and the General Assembly regarding the progress of the Illinois workNet Centers in serving individuals with disabilities.

Local Workforce Innovation Boards (LWIBs) have responsibility for oversight of the Illinois workNet system. LWIBs should assist in coordinating data collection among the local partners located in the Illinois workNet Centers.

Initial Report

The initial report will be a baseline to which the local areas will be compared in the future.

The report must include, but is not limited to:

  1. The number of individuals referred to the Illinois workNet Centers by the Department of Human Services/Division of Rehabilitation Services (DHS/DRS);
  2. The total number of individuals with disabilities served by the Illinois workNet Centers;
  3. The number of individuals with disabilities served in federal Workforce Invnovation and Opportunity Act employment and training programs;
  4. The number of individuals with disabilities annually placed in jobs by the Illinois workNet Centers; and
  5. The number of individuals with disabilities referred by the Illinois workNet Centers to DHS/DRS.


This report, based on the previous state program year of July 1 through June 30, is due annually to the General Assembly no later than December 31.

The Department is working in collaboration with the Illinois Department of Employment Security and the Illinois Department of Human Services/Division of Rehabilitation Services (DHS/DRS) to collect data from their reporting systems to assist with the reporting requirements. WIOA Title IB data to be used in the preparation of this report will be extracted annually from the Illinois Workforce Development System (IWDS) on September 1. Data extracted from reports such as the Target Population report will be compiled and used for items (ii), (iii) and (iv) of Public Act 093-0639. Item (v) of Public Act 093-0639 will be extracted from referral records from the LWIAs to DHS (or recorded on IWDS).
