Re: Jobs Driven National Emergency Grant (JD-NEG)

The Workforce Development Agency, State of Michigan has awarded the Jobs Driven-National Emergency Grant (JD-NEG) funds for the time period 7/1/14 through 6/30/16. The NEG grant is intended to provide training funds for the long-term unemployed, preferably in a work-based environment such as On-the-Job training.

Livingston County Michigan Works! was selected to serve as the fiduciary agent for Prosperity Region 9 which includes Livingston, Washtenaw, Jackson, Lenawee, Hillsdale and Monroe counties. JD-NEG allocations are determined by formula. The allocation for Prosperity Region 9 is $700,000 for all 6 counties. There was a total of $6,175,000 for the entire state. Livingston County Michigan Works! will enter into Memorandums of Understanding (MOUs) with the other Michigan Works! agencies who will be receiving funds overseen by Livingston County Michigan Works! Per standing policy, the Chair of the Workforce Development Council is authorized to sign these MOUs and administrative staff will secure all required signatures before funds are distributed to other agencies.

From: Jeffrey R Boyd, Director

Date: 08/05/2014

Re: Out of State Travel

Many years ago during our reorganization one of our top goals was to provide our management personnel with very specific EMS related training. We therefore investigated content and past performance of the ABC3 Coding and Compliance Clinic and found it to be the benchmark for billing managers in our industry. The Clinic is close and has served us well over the years. The course is approximately 4 days in length and is a best practice example of billing for the EMS industry.

Sending the Finance Manager to bring back the information offered will keep EMS up to date and compliant with current industry billing practices. The educational opportunity also helps to identify new revenue streams and stay up to date with ever-changing Medicare rules. Enrollment includes approximately $1,200.00 in training and webinars that we would normally purchase over the course of the year making the net cost $1,000.00.
