Workforce Reentry Act

Creates a new start-up grants program under federal workforce law to help people returning from prison get jobs. It funds competitive grants and pay‑for‑performance contracts (each lasting up to four years) to launch and test reentry programs, share what works, and improve results. It sets basic eligibility and matching requirements, limits certain uses of funds, requires performance reporting, and calls for an independent evaluation within five years. It also makes a technical cross‑reference fix in existing law. No funding amounts or start dates are specified.
