The Governor has appointed a State Workforce Investment Board (WIB)
consisting primarily of representatives from businesses, labor
organizations, educational institutions, and community organizations.
The State WIB assists the Governor in designing a statewide plan and
establishing appropriate program policy. The 49 Local Workforce
Investment Areas (LWIAs) administer WIA services as designated by the
Governor. Factors that are considered in designating these LWIAs include
geographic location, population, and commonality of labor market areas.
The Chief Elected Official (CEO) of each LWIA appoints a Local WIB with
a local membership similar to the State WIB. The Local WIB develops and
submits a local area plan to the Governor, appoints local Job Center
operators, and selects eligible organizations to provide services for
youth and adults. In cooperation with the CEO, the Local WIB appoints a
Youth Council that will help establish youth policy for local education
and job training.

The activities provided by WIA at the local level offer a variety of
benefits to both program participants and the communities in which they
reside: * Job Seekers * Universal access to job search and labor market
information * Advice, counseling, and support * Education and skills
training * Individual choice of service * Youth * Basic skills
assessment * Resources and guidance help to attain educational goals *

The Employment Training Panel (ETP) provides funding to employers to
assist in upgrading the skills of their workers through training that
leads to good paying, long-term jobs. The ETP was created in 1982 by
the California State Legislature and is funded by California employers
through a special payroll tax. The ETP is a funding agency, not a
training agency. Businesses determine their own training needs and how
to provide training. ETP staff is available to assist in applying for
funds and other aspects of participation. Under its core program, ETP
can only fund training for employers that are subject to paying the

If you live in the middle of nowhere the Post-9/11 GI Bill will even
provide you with a one-time relocation allowance to move to where your
school is located. Another provision of the Post-9/11 GI Bill allows
eligible service members to transfer their unused benefits to family
members. You can use your Post-9/11 GI Bill for college and many other

Whether you want to apply your GI Bill benefits to college classes or an on-the-job training program, the GI Bill Comparison Tool will help you make the most of them. For approved programs, the Post-9/11 GI Bill provides up to 36 months of education benefits, generally
payable for 15 years following your release from active duty. Institutions of higher learning participating in the Yellow Ribbon Program may make additional funds available for your education program without an additional charge to your GI Bill entitlement. The following payments may also be

VA will pay your tuition & fee payments directly to the school.
Tuition payments are based on the amount of creditable active-duty
service after Sept. 10, 2001. For example, if you have 24 months
active duty after September 10, 2001 your GI Bill benefit tier
percentage is 80%. If you are attending a public school with tuition
of $10,000 per semester, 80% of your tuition and fees or $8,000 would
be paid by the Post-9/11 GI Bill. The GI Bill can pay up to the full
resident tuition at any public school, if you are qualified to receive
benefits at the 100% rate based on your active service shown above..
Effective January 1, 2016 public schools will have to offer resident
tuition to all Veterans who have been out of the military for less
than 3 years, and their dependents using transferred benefits. If you
are attending a private or foreign school, the VA will pay you an
annual maximum of $21,084.89.

The Post-9/11 GI Bill also pays a Monthly Housing Allowance based on
the ZIP code of the location of the school you are attending - not
your home ZIP code. This stipend currently averages $1,566 a month,
but can exceed $2,700 depending on where you go to school. Students
taking 100% of their courses online are eligible for a monthly stipend
equal to half of the national average stipend, which is currently
$783.00. Housing allowance payments are based on the amount of
creditable active-duty service after Sept. 10, 2001. For example, if
you have 24 months active duty after September 10, 2001 your GI Bill
benefit tier percentage is 80%. If you are attending a school which
has a Monthly Housing Allowance of $1000/month you would receive 80%
of your housing allowance or $800/month. This stipend is based on the
DoD's Basic Allowance for Housing (BAH) for an E-5 with dependents.
This stipend does not require students to live on campus.

You may receive an annual book stipend of up to $1,000/year with the
Post-9/11 GI Bill. This stipend will be paid at the beginning of each
term. It is paid proportionately based on the number of credits taken
by each student at $41 per credit hour.

The Post-9/11 GI Bill also includes a provision to help students avoid
some or all of the out-of-pocket tuition and fees associated with
education programs that may exceed the Post-9/11 GI Bill tuition
benefit. The Yellow Ribbon Program is not automatic; schools must
enter into an agreement with the VA to share the expense. To qualify
to receive the Yellow Ribbon benefits you must meet the following
criteria: Qualify for the Post-9/11 GI Bill at the 100% benefit tier
Be attending an approved Institute of Higher Learning in the U.S.

You may also receive a one-time rural relocation benefit payment of

attend school. To qualify you must: Be an otherwise eligible veteran.
Reside in a county with 6 persons or less per square mile (as
determined by the most recent decennial census) and: Either physically
relocate at least 500 miles to attend an educational institution - or
- Travel by air to physically attend an educational institution if no

The Department of Defense (DoD) is authorized to allow individuals
who, on or after August 1, 2009, have served at least 6 years in the
Armed Forces and who agree to serve at least another 4 years in the
Armed Forces to transfer unused entitlement to their Spouse. The
Department of Defense may, by regulation, impose additional
eligibility requirements and limit the number of months transferable
to not less than 18 months. National Oceanographic and Atmospheric
Administration (NOAA) and Public Health System (PHS) personnel are
also eligible to transfer their entitlement to eligible dependents.
NOTE: The ability to transfer benefits is limited to those currently
serving in the military.
