Has anyone heard of WIA being used to get your CFI tickets?

I haven't heard of it, but that doesn't mean it's not possible. The trick is that the flight school that you would do your training at has to fill out a boat load of paperwork in order to be on your state's Eligible Training Providers List (ETPL). I just filled out several of these applications for my company, and they are brutal. Most flight schools probably wouldn't take the time since, more than likely, they could only be on the list for the state they are in, but you never know. Do a Google search to find your state's Workforce Development Office webpage...typically they will have an ETPL for you to search for schools. That's my best advice.

I would be happy to try and answer any WIA questions you guys/gals might have. I'm quickly becoming a subject matter expert!

Who did you talk to in Michigan? I have found myself in the same situation, and could use any help I can get.

I used Monroe County Works Center. I at first got turned down then spoke too SEMCA and they said they would approve me. I still am waiting for final approval as Monroe County Works had a fire and this shut them down for a few weeks.

Which is better K&S Aviation or Higher Power? These are my options as they are the only two on the Monroe list. K&S is a little cheaper but require you do almost all ground school before you show up for class.

Any feed back on either would be helpful.

Do you have to be unemployed to take advantage of these programs?

Yes. Some states have figured that it isn't worth training more pilots as they just end up unemployed anyway.

Not that far off. I've recently seen this with Arizona and California.
