One Door to Work Act

The One Door to Work Act amends the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act to allow states (or local areas/consortia within states) to apply for 5-year consolidated grants. This enables them to waive certain federal workforce program requirements (like specific training rules) and combine funding streams to test innovative approaches for job seekers, employers, and taxpayers. The bill requires third-party evaluations comparing employment and earnings outcomes of participants to non-participating groups and sets performance targets that must exceed previous benchmarks. States must report annual results and ensure at least 10% of funds cover administrative costs, with veterans, low-income individuals, and others prioritized for services.
