handle is hein.gao/gaobaabyh0001 and id is 1 raw text is: UNITED STATES GENERAL ACCOUNTING OFFICE WASHINGTON, D.C. 20548 HUMAN RESOURCES DIVISION LM100595 B-177486 The Honorable William Proxmire United States Senate Dear Senator Proxmire: MAR 221977 In accordance with your request of October 27, 1976, we reviewed Mr. Manuel Delgado's allegations that ineligible ap- plicants were being enrolled in programs administered by the United Migrant Opportunity Service, Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Mr. Delgado, a Service employee from June to October 1976, alleged that --the Service did not verify information establishing applicant eligibility and --a supervisor had changed information obtained from applicants so they would qualify for services. The Service received $1.4 million in 1976 from the De- partment of Labor to provide employment, training, and supportive services to migrant and other seasonally employed farmworkers. These funds were provided under title III, section 303, of the Comprehensive Employment and Training Act of 1973, as amended (29 U.S.C. 873 (Supp. V, 1975)). We interviewed Mr. Delgado, Service officials, Labor headquarters officials, and five farmworkers who received Service benefits. We also reviewed Labor regulations, Serv- ice operating guidelines, and certain applicant records. Labor's regulations restrict applicant eligibility for section 303 programs to farmworkers and their dependents who, during any consecutive 12-month period within the previous 18 months, earned over 50 percent of their income as seasonal farmworkers. A seasonal farmworker is defined as a person who has spent at least 25 days doing farmwork but not more than 150 consecutive days working for one establishment. In addi- tion, total family income based on the number of claimed de- pendents must be below the poverty level established by the Office of Management and Budget. HRD-77-59
