WIOA & RSA-911 Reporting
Six primary indicators decide whether a Title IV agency meets its negotiated levels, and each one is a ratio built from case records entered months earlier. Agencies usually discover a shortfall after submission rather than before it, when nothing can be done about the quarter in question.
The reporting problem
WIOA established one set of primary indicators of performance across the core programs, and Title IV VR agencies report against all six WIOA Sec. 116(b)(2)(A). Two measure employment in the second and fourth quarters after exit. One measures median earnings in the second quarter after exit. The remaining three cover credential attainment, measurable skill gains, and effectiveness in serving employers. The underlying case data flows through the RSA-911 Case Service Report, where a data element entered incorrectly at intake propagates silently into an indicator two years later.
The consequence structure is what makes early detection worth the effort. Performance is assessed against negotiated adjusted levels rather than a fixed national bar, an indicator score of 90 percent or higher of the negotiated level is treated as met, and a score below 50 percent of the negotiated level constitutes failure on that indicator 34 CFR 677.190. Sustained failure carries sanction. The calculator below computes all six from counts an agency already has and flags which sit below the level it negotiated.
Enter the exit and outcome counts for the cohort. The calculator returns all six primary indicators, compares each against the negotiated level you set, and states in plain language what each result means.
