It explains key validation principles, including using the most objective source when multiple documents conflict, and highlights data-element-specific evidence. It also defines common source documentation types—cross-match, self-attestation, case notes, and electronic records—alongside illustrative document examples for youth eligibility and program entry status.",{"@graph":14,"@context":73},[15,34,56],{"@type":16,"itemListElement":17},"BreadcrumbList",[18,23,27,31],{"item":19,"name":20,"@type":21,"position":22},"https://docshare.wps.com","Home","ListItem",1,{"item":24,"name":25,"@type":21,"position":26},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/","Document",2,{"item":28,"name":29,"@type":21,"position":30},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/research-report/","Research & Report",3,{"item":32,"name":10,"@type":21,"position":33},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/wioa-youth-source-documentation-cheat-sheet/265401/",4,{"url":32,"name":10,"@type":35,"image":36,"author":41,"headline":10,"publisher":44,"fileFormat":47,"inLanguage":8,"description":12,"dateModified":48,"datePublished":49,"encodingFormat":47,"isAccessibleForFree":50,"interactionStatistic":51},"DigitalDocument",{"url":37,"@type":38,"width":39,"height":40},"https://docshare.wps.com/thumbnails/wioa-youth-source-documentation-cheat-sheet/265401.png","ImageObject",300,407,{"name":42,"@type":43},"Cart","Person",{"url":19,"name":45,"@type":46},"DocShare","Organization","application/pdf","2026-11-05","2026-09-14",true,{"@type":52,"interactionType":53,"userInteractionCount":55},"InteractionCounter",{"@type":54},"ViewAction",8,{"@type":57,"mainEntity":58},"FAQPage",[59,65,69],{"name":60,"@type":61,"acceptedAnswer":62},"What is the purpose of the WIOA Youth source documentation table?","Question",{"text":63,"@type":64},"It lists the PIRL data elements that WIOA Youth programs must validate and the allowable source documents that can be used to support each data element.","Answer",{"name":66,"@type":61,"acceptedAnswer":67},"What should programs do if multiple source documents for the same data element conflict?",{"text":68,"@type":64},"Use the most objective source available for the conflicting information.",{"name":70,"@type":61,"acceptedAnswer":71},"What evidence is required for a cross-match source documentation type?",{"text":72,"@type":64},"Cross-match requires detailed supporting evidence and confirmation of additional participation-related details, not just an indicator or presence of an SSN in an unrelated non-WIOA database.","https://schema.org",{"og:url":32,"og:type":75,"og:title":10,"og:site_name":45,"og:description":12},"article",{"robots":77,"canonical":32},"index,follow",{"doc_id":79,"site_id":7},265401,1789395284,{"code":4,"msg":82,"data":83},"success",[84,88,92,96,101,106,111,114,119,122,126],{"id":22,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":85,"show_sort_weight":86,"slug":87},"Story & Novel",90,"story-novel",{"id":26,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":89,"show_sort_weight":90,"slug":91},"Literature",80,"literature",{"id":33,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":93,"show_sort_weight":94,"slug":95},"Exam",70,"exam",{"id":97,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":98,"show_sort_weight":99,"slug":100},5,"Comic",60,"comic",{"id":102,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":103,"show_sort_weight":104,"slug":105},6,"Technology",50,"technology",{"id":107,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":108,"show_sort_weight":109,"slug":110},7,"Healthcare",40,"healthcare",{"id":55,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":29,"show_sort_weight":112,"slug":113},30,"research-report",{"id":115,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":116,"show_sort_weight":117,"slug":118},9,"Religion & Spirituality",20,"religion-spirituality",{"id":117,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":120,"show_sort_weight":117,"slug":121},"World Cup","world-cup",{"id":123,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":124,"show_sort_weight":123,"slug":125},10,"Lifestyle","lifestyle",{"id":127,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":128,"show_sort_weight":97,"slug":129},19,"General","general",{"code":4,"msg":82,"data":131},{"doc_id":79,"user_id":132,"nickname":42,"user_avatar":133,"doc_module":4,"category_id":55,"category_name":29,"doc_title":10,"doc_description":12,"doc_content":134,"file_id":135,"file_url":136,"file_type":137,"file_size":138,"view_count":55,"is_deleted":4,"is_public":22,"is_downloadable":22,"audit_status":22,"page_count":107,"language":139,"language_code":8,"site_id":7,"html_lang":8,"table_of_contents":140,"faqs":141,"seo_title":142,"seo_description":12,"update_tm":80,"read_time":143,"preview_page_count":4},18829141979164,"https://eur-avatar.wpscdn.com/davatar_6f874abed73319feea01a86fa6f0fab8","WIOA Youth Source Documentation Cheat Sheet  \nThis data element source documentation table lists the data elements that WIOA Youth programs are required to validate. The source documentation column lists the allowable documents WIOA Youth programs may use to document the corresponding Participant Individual Record Layout (PI RL) data element. For most data elements, multiple forms of acceptable source documentation. If the program collects multiple sources for the same data element and the sources conflict, the most objective source should be used.  \nFor additional information on data validation requirements, please see Training and Employment Guidance Letter (TEGL) No. 23-19 at:  \n[https://wdr.doleta.gov/directives/corr_doc.cfm?DOCN=9155](https://wdr.doleta.gov/directives/corr_doc.cfm?DOCN=9155).  \nSource documentation types include:  \n1. Cross-Match: A cross-match requires detailed supporting evidence for the data element in a database. An indicator or presence of a Social Security Number (SSN) in an administrative non-WIOA database, i.e., a database not maintained by a WIOA core program such as data from the State’s Department of Motor Vehicles, is not sufficient evidence for a cross-match. State validators must also confirm supporting information such as dates of participation and services rendered. States must have data sharing agreements in place as appropriate.  \n2. Self-Attestation: Self-attestation (also referred to as a participant statement) occurs when a participant states his or her status for a particular data element, such as pregnant or parenting youth, and then signs and dates a form acknowledging this status. The key elements for self-attestation are: (a) the participant identifying his or her status for permitted elements, and (b) signing and dating a form attesting to this selfidentification. The form and signature can be on paper or in the State management information system, with an electronic signature.  \n3. Case Notes: Case notes refer to either paper or electronic statements by the case manager that identify, at a minimum, the following: (a) a participant's status for a specific data element,(b) the date on which the information was obtained, and (c) the case manager who obtained the information.  \n4. Electronic Records: Electronic records are participant records created, stored or transferred in a form that only a computer can process and maintained in the State's management information system. Records can be numeric, graphic, or text. They can also include magnetic storage media such as tapes or disks.  \n\n| PIRL Element\u003Cbr>Number | PIRL Element Name | WIOA Source Documentation |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| 200 | Date of Birth | One of the following: • Drivers License • Baptismal Record • Birth Certificate • DD-214 • Report of Transfer or Discharge Paper • Federal, State or Local Identification Card • Passport • Hospital Record of Birth • Public Assistance/Social Service Records • School Records or ID Cards • Work Permit • Family Bible |\n| 202 | Individual with a Disability | One of the following: • Self-Attestation • School 504 Records Provided by Student • Assessment Test Results |\n| 409 | School Status at Program Entry | One of the following: • Cross-Match with Postsecondary Education Database • Copy of Educational Institution Enrollment Record • Applicable Records from Education Institution (GED certificate, diploma, attendance record, transcripts, report card, or school documentation)• Signed Intake Application or Enrollment Form • Electronic Records • Self-Attestation |\n| 701 | Pregnant or Parenting Youth | One of the following: • Self-Attestation • Case Notes • Needs Assessment • WIC Eligibility Verification • TANF Single Parent Eligibility Verification • Signed Intake Application or Enrollment Form • Signed Individual Service Strategy |\n| 702 | Youth Who Needs Additional Assistance | One of the following (see state policy on definition): • SelfAttestation • Signed Intake Application or Enrollment Fo","cbCaimCX1kt20uDm","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaimCX1kt20uDm","pdf",806009,"English","# WIOA Youth Source Documentation Cheat Sheet\n## Data validation principles\n## Source documentation types\n## PIRL data elements and required sources","[{\"question\":\"What is the purpose of the WIOA Youth source documentation table?\",\"answer\":\"It lists the PIRL data elements that WIOA Youth programs must validate and the allowable source documents that can be used to support each data element.\"},{\"question\":\"What should programs do if multiple source documents for the same data element conflict?\",\"answer\":\"Use the most objective source available for the conflicting information.\"},{\"question\":\"What evidence is required for a cross-match source documentation type?\",\"answer\":\"Cross-match requires detailed supporting evidence and confirmation of additional participation-related details, not just an indicator or presence of an SSN in an unrelated non-WIOA database.\"}]","WIOA Youth Source Documentation Cheat Sheet | PDF",18]
