• The proposed regulations provide that priority of service means the right of eligible covered persons to take precedence over eligible non-covered persons in obtaining services. They further specify that taking precedence may mean:
  • The covered person receives access to the service or resource earlier in time than the non-covered person; or
  • If the service or resource is limited, the covered person receives access to the service or resource instead of or before the non-covered person.
• The proposed regulations specify how priority of service is to be applied across three different types of qualified job training programs:
  • Universal access programs that do not target specific groups;
  • Discretionary targeting programs that focus on certain groups but are not mandated to serve target group members before other eligible individuals, and;
  • Statutory targeting programs that are mandated by federal law to provide priority or preference to certain groups.
