Summary
The commission approved distributions of $2,916,000 to 12 phase‑1 boards and $3,540,000 to 9 phase‑2 boards for the RESEA subsequent-meeting pilots, funded by FY26 RSCA grant and prior-year balances.
The Texas Workforce Commission voted May 20 to approve funding distributions for RESEA subsequent-meeting pilots totaling $6,456,000, staff said.
Suzette Robinson, RESEA department director in the Workforce Development Division, told the commission that fiscal year 2026 funding levels for the RESEA pilot would be equivalent to BCY 2025. The packet’s first table allocates $2,916,000 to the original 12 boards participating in phase 1 of the pilot and a second table allocates $3,540,000 to nine additional boards participating in phase 2.
Robinson said distributions are funded by the FY26 RESEA grant and prior-year grant balances and that pilot participation has generally increased for subsequent meetings; persistent barriers such as transportation and childcare remain for some claimants.
A motion to approve the distributions for RESEA subsequent-meeting pilot phase 1 (year 3) and phase 2 (year 2) in the amounts recommended by staff was made, seconded and approved.
Robinson offered to answer questions; commissioners had none beyond clarifying barriers and participation trends.
