General Principles.

(a)

The JTPA implementing regulations at Title 20, Code of Federal Regulations, Sections 627.481(c) and Sections 627.500 through 627.504 provide the basis for EDD's appeal process for cases where the EDD has imposed on local entities either administrative and/or financial/monetary sanction(s) resulting from monitoring, investigations, or audits. These sanctions are described in the written EDD decision disallowing costs and/or instituting other findings that are final. The procedures established in Sections 4504-1 through 4504-4 shall apply only where the EDD, rather than the service delivery area, is the agency issuing sanctions. The procedures established in Sections 4504-1 through 4504-4 do not apply to decisions and/or findings of service delivery areas.

(b)

The procedures specified in Sections 4504-1 through 4504-4 shall be completed before a complainant may file judicial action at the county, State, or federal level regarding an alleged violation of JTPA law or regulations.
