WSIN25-38 is California’s scorecard for PY 2024 WIOA performance. The most important usability point is that a performance score is not the same thing as the outcome rate. It is actual performance compared with the applicable negotiated or statistically adjusted benchmark.

Check result: WSIN25-38 is the completed PY 2024 performance assessment and remains useful as a historical baseline. California met the applicable federal state-level thresholds for PY 2024, and EDD also calculated Local Area scores. The page now emphasizes that these are historical PY 2024 results, not current PY 2026 performance. This AI-assisted brief does not receive human legal or compliance review. Official sources control.

The bottom line
Use the scores to find questions, not to stop the analysis.
California met the federal state-level performance thresholds for PY 2024. EDD also calculated Local Area scores using the applicable WIOA methodology. A Local Area should use its attachment results to identify which program/indicator combinations need deeper review, then separate data-quality issues from service-delivery issues before choosing an improvement action.
How the federal score works
| Score | Failure threshold | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| Individual Indicator Score | Below 50% | Actual performance divided by the applicable negotiated/statistically adjusted level for one indicator/program. |
| Overall Program Score / Overall Indicator Score | Below 90% | A composite accountability test across the relevant indicator scores. |
| 100% score | Not a failure | Actual performance matched the benchmark. It does not mean 100% of participants achieved the outcome. |

The local diagnostic sequence
- Find the score in EDD’s Local Area attachment.
- Pull the underlying outcome rate and denominator. The score alone does not show how many participants achieved the outcome.
- Validate the data. Check exits, credentials, MSG, wages, activity coding, and source documentation.
- Compare with the negotiated/adjusted benchmark.
- Find the service driver. Is the issue training completion, credential capture, employer connection, follow-up, participant mix, exit timing, or something else?
- Assign the corrective action to the cause. Fix a data problem with data work and a service problem with service redesign.
Operational considerations for WDBs
- Save the PY 2024 score sheet as a baseline, but manage current operations from current performance reports.
- Use local scores to identify persistent patterns across years rather than reacting to a single result.
- Pair score review with WSD24-07 performance guidance and WSD24-16 data validation.
- Show Boards both the score and the underlying outcome rate so governance discussions do not confuse the two.
Watch out
- Do not read a score of 100 as a 100% employment, credential, or MSG rate.
- Do not diagnose service quality before validating the data.
- Do not use PY 2024 as if it were current PY 2026 performance.
- Do not copy state-level thresholds into local sanction policy without California authority.
