INSTRUCTIONS: ALABAMA WIA SELF-SUFFICIENCY INCOME CHART (Appendix A (A-2))

This article discusses the Alabama Workforce Investment System (WIA) updated self-sufficiency income chart which was revised in 2008. Because the revised guidelines for this chart were implemented after the publication of the Forms Preparation Handbook for that year, it was necessary to update the information following this document's revision on April 25, 2008. The governor's letter requesting these changes and the chart can still be found on the website maintained by the Alabama Department of Economic and Community Affairs.
