Eligibility summaries are written for Los Angeles County residents and reflect LA County Workforce Development Board policy under WIOA, including California's priority of service for veterans and eligible spouses, low-income adults, CalWORKs and CalFresh recipients, foster and former foster youth, justice-involved residents, and adults who are basic-skills deficient. Final determination is made by an AJCC career specialist at intake — the AI counselor pre-screens, assembles documentation, and books the appointment; it does not approve funding.
