- The WIOA Adult, Dislocated Worker and Youth Outlying Areas Consolidated Grants, Title I, implement the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act legislation, allowing the Department to reform and modernize our nation's workforce development system. As allowed by the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2023, the outlying areas that are applying to receive funding through a consolidated grant agreement, may use WIOA Title I funds interchangeably between programs.

How to read these numbers
- Committed through this program
Money committed under this assistance listing (its CFDA program), counted in the year each action happened.
- How it's paid
Most programs pay out one way — a grant, or a direct payment to individuals; the flow bar only appears when a program genuinely mixes types.
- Some recipients aren't itemized
For entitlement programs like Social Security and Medicare, the government reports one aggregate instead of naming tens of millions of people, so the recipient roster isn't part of the public record.
- Awards, counted once
An award count is the number of distinct awards with at least one action that year — each counted once, however many times it was amended.
- The colored bars
Every bar on this page splits by how the money moves:
