FROM: THOMAS M. DOWD /s/ for MOLLY E. CONWAY
Acting Assistant Secretary
SUBJECT: Trade Adjustment Assistance Data Integrity (TAADI)
1. Purpose. To revise and replace Training and Employment Guidance Letter (TEGL) No. 04-
14 which formalized TAADI as a required component of quarterly reporting submitted by
State Workforce Agencies or agencies designated by Governors as “Cooperating State
Agencies” (“states”) and established procedures for corrective action by the Department of
Labor (Department) in the event of non-compliance. This revision will align TAADI with
use of the Participant Individual Record Layout (PIRL) for reporting and will incorporate
recent measure changes.
2. Action Requested. States must inform all appropriate staff of the contents of these
instructions as soon as this guidance is distributed.
3. Summary and Background.
a. Summary. This document details the following TAADI items:
i. TAADI measures
ii. Performance Expectations
iii. TAADI Quarterly Snapshots
iv. TAADI Compliance Requirements and Quarterly Timetable
v. Annual Review and Corrective Actions
b. Background. Over the last ten years, the Department has committed substantial time
and effort into transforming the format, submission process, and oversight of state
reporting on activities and outcomes for the Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA)
Program. These changes were designed to produce the high quality data that is
RESCISSIONS EXPIRATION DATE
TEGL 04-14 Continuing
essential to evaluating the TAA Program’s effectiveness and monitoring service
delivery to ensure that participants are served effectively.
PIRL and Associated Data Integrity Mechanisms
Effective October 1, 2018, the PIRL became the reporting layout for states to report
out quarterly on TAA activities and outcomes for program participants, joining other
Department of Labor programs, including those authorized by the Workforce
Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA). The PIRL, authorized under OMB control
no. 1205-0521, is designed to create an integrated format to align data element
specifications and ultimately integrate reporting on participants across programs.
Reporting on TAA participants is required by Section 249B of the Trade Act as
amended and Section 239(c) of the Trade Act as amended requires states to provide
the Department information and reports necessary for carrying out the purposes of the
Act. This mandate is incorporated in the TAA Governor-Secretary agreement, as well
as the TAA Annual Funding Agreement Terms and Conditions, and applies to all
versions of the TAA Program.
All reporting in PIRL is subject to two defined data integrity processes: (1) edit checks
and (2) data validation. These processes address data that is contained within each
individual participant record. For the subset of PIRL elements specific to the TAA
Program, a third data integrity process is applied, TAADI, which contains measures
that look at aggregate state data, as well as data specific to each participant record.
Edit Checks
States submit TAA PIRL records into the Workforce Integrated Performance System
(WIPS). The WIPS edit checks help ensure that the data submitted by the states
administering TAA is an accurate reflection of participants, their program activities,
and outcomes.
Automated WIPS edit checks provide a pre-screen within individual participant
records of state data submissions before they are validated and accepted by the
Department. Some of these edit checks are universal to programs reporting with the
PIRL and others are TAA Program-specific. There are three categories of WIPS edit
checks: (1) duplicate rules, (2) valid value checks, and (3) logical edit checks. These
help ensure that each piece of data provided within a unique PIRL record is consistent
with other data reported in the same record. Edit checks enforce mandatory data
consistency requirements and structure. These act complementarily to TAADI Results
which flag allowable data that deviates from reporting expectations.
Data Validation
Data validation (formally known as Data Element Validation or DEV) provides a
standard for comparing data reported for a specific element in a participant record
against ETA-approved “source documentation.” Guidelines for state data element
validation and data element source documentation are provided in the joint WIOA data
validation TEGL No. 07-18. Additional DOL-only guidance from ETA will be
forthcoming. For example, the PIRL element for Date of Program Entry (PIRL 900) is
validated by an Individual Plan for Employment, Electronic Records, or Program
intake documents, such as eligibility determination documentation or program
enrollment forms.
TAADI
The TAADI framework identifies a series of measures that target both potentially
inaccurate data, as well as accurately reported data that reflect substandard program
administration. Over time, measures may be dropped (as initially problematic areas
are resolved in all states), and added (as new problem areas are identified or
prioritized). Each measure has a target which may be based on the Department’s
expectations of optimal performance, but may also be qualified by national results;
thus, targets may adjust upwards from year to year as more states are able to achieve
modest targets.
One of the most important features of TAADI is that it provides states with the
opportunity to submit feedback on TAADI Results. This feedback mechanism allows
the Department to understand the data system and service delivery issues impacted by
the areas targeted in TAADI Measures (see Section 4c “TAADI Quarterly Snapshot”
in this guidance). Another unique aspect of TAADI is that its focus is one of
continuous improvement in data reporting which forms a component of the annual
review process described in section 4e of this TEGL. By assessing a state’s progress
across report quarters in addition to static results, TAADI emphasizes the importance
of incremental improvements, even when the state may be unable to meet designated
targets.
Since 2012, when TAADI was launched, report quality has improved dramatically in
states that identified and corrected problems, and all states showed improvement to
reporting structure, consistency, data quality, and program oversight of areas related to
report data. TAADI became crucial to the process of identifying broad reporting
issues and targeting technical assistance to states to improve data quality and effective
service delivery. By the end of FY 2018, 31 states were meeting at least 85 percent of
measures. The 16 TAADI measures represented in this guidance, and identified in
Attachment II, address data issues that merit continued oversight through the TAADI
process.
4. TAADI Policy and Description. TAADI is required as a permanent component of reporting
compliance for the TAA Program. TAADI is designed to produce high data quality that is
essential to evaluating the program’s effectiveness and monitoring service delivery to ensure
that participants are served effectively.
Attachment I contains a glossary of terms specific to TAADI that clarifies terminology
referenced in this guidance. This glossary includes specific uses of the terms “Measure” and
“Target” that are unique to TAADI and that are displayed in the TAADI Snapshot.
a. TAADI Measures. This section lists 16 TAADI Measures grouped within four major
categories. On an annual basis, the Department considers whether the measures or
targets should change. Any change of measures or targets will be applied at the
beginning of the fiscal year with notification to the states. Attachment II of this
guidance provides more details regarding TAADI Measures’ Specifications. The four
major categories, with associated measures, are listed below.
i. Category 1: Cross Validation of Fiscal Data using Employment and Training
Administration (ETA) 9130 Financial Reports1 – The measures in this
category compare state totals of quarterly expenditure data from the PIRL
against corresponding state ETA-9130 Financial Report data. The measure
assesses the degree to which the state dollar values between these two reports
match within the relevant quarter. The target for this measure is provided as a
range that allows for a small deviance, due to slight differences that may occur
in the timing of the submission of these two quarterly reports. In cases where
states identify accounting issues that would cause larger discrepancies, states
must report the reason for the discrepancy using the narrative field made
available in the ETA-9130 financial report (Section 12). Attachment III of
this guidance provides specific calculations and targets for this category.
TAADI fiscal measures are provided for the following quarterly fiscal
elements tracked in the PIRL:
a. Training;
b. Trade Readjustment Allowance (TRA);
c. Alternative Trade Adjustment Assistance and Reemployment Trade
Adjustment Assistance (ATAA/RTAA), and;
d. Job Search and Relocation Allowances.
ii. Category 2: Inaccurate Reporting or Reporting with Substandard Service
Delivery Implications.
a. Rapid Response Reporting – WIOA regulations at 20 CFR 682.300-370
describe activities that are or may be a part of “Rapid Response.”
According to Section 221 of the Trade Act, as amended, the Governor is
required to make available such Rapid Response assistance to all worker
groups that petition for TAA, under the TAA Governor-Secretary
Agreement and the applicable TAA Annual Funding Agreement Terms
and Conditions. Section 249B(b)(5) requires reporting on “Whether
rapid response activities were provided with respect to each petition
filed under section 221.” Thus, the rate of Rapid Response activity is
tracked through TAADI to ensure compliance.
b. Petition Number Reporting – The TAA petition number, prefaced by the
acronym TA-W, is used to confirm a participant (or applicant) is part of
a certified worker group and to determine under which version of the
TAA Program the participant is being served. Since TAA participants
can only be served under petition numbers for eligible worker groups,
1
Training and Other Activities (TaOA) is reported on ETA-9130(M). TRA and ATAA/RTAA is reported on the
ETA-9130.
the state is expected to report accurate petition numbers for each
participant record. A list of petitions with corresponding petition
numbers and other information used to determine if a participant is part
of the worker group can be found on the TAA Program website at
https://www.doleta.gov/TradeAct/taa-data/petitions-determinations-
data/docs/PetitionData.xlsx.
c. Individual Employment Plan (IEP) Reporting – The IEP is a revisable
document containing an ongoing strategy, jointly developed by the
trade-affected worker and the state. The IEP should be updated as often
as there are changes, identifying the worker’s employment goals,
appropriate achievement objectives, and appropriate services, as
required by Section 235(2) of the Trade Act, as amended. The TAADI
Measure on IEP specifically focuses on those participants that receive
training, where the documented receipt of an IEP affirms that the
participant’s training plan aligns with the assessment results of the
participant in the context of current employment trends within the local
area. It is expected that the Date of Individual Employment Plan be
provided and that the Date of IEP precede the date the individual begins
receiving training.
d. Co-Enrollment Reporting – Co-Enrollment Reporting - An analysis of
data submitted by states shows that TAA participants who are co-
enrolled consistently display superior results than those that are not co-
enrolled. These result areas include significantly higher numbers in all
of the following areas: (1) performance outcomes, (2) speed of training
enrollment, and (3) access to training services. Although participants
can be co-enrolled with multiple ETA programs, the TAADI measure
focuses on co-enrollment with the WIOA Title I Dislocated Worker
(DW) Program and the WIOA Title I Adult Program. DW is prioritized
in this measure because TAA participants who are co-enrolled with DW
are more likely to receive early intervention prior to TAA eligibility,
including access to assessments, and may receive supportive services
throughout participation that are not available in the TAA Program. Co-
enrollment also encourages program integration, resource leveraging,
and cross-training, allowing for improved service delivery for the
participant. Additional guidance on co-enrollment of TAA participants
with Title I is found in TEGL No. 19-16, Section 20, and guidance on
common exit is found in TEGL No. 10-16, Change 1.
e. Employment and Case Management Services Reporting – The
documentation of employment and case management services is
required under Sec. 249B(b)(2)(B) of the Trade Act, as amended, and
incorporated in the TAA Governor-Secretary Agreement and the TAA
Annual Funding Agreement Terms and Conditions. These services
include but are not limited to career counseling, testing and placement
services, and information on supportive and other services. Providing
these services seamlessly and in a timely manner improves the
efficiency and effectiveness of the TAA Program and helps trade-
affected workers to return to employment as quickly as possible.
Employment and Case management services should continue to be
provided after the participant starts participating in the TAA Program.
A PIRL participant record that indicates a Date of Most Recent Case
Management and Employment Service as the same date as the Date of
First TAA Benefit or Service implies that no ongoing case management
services are being provided. Additionally, a Date of Most Recent Case
Management and Employment Service that is prior to the Date of First
TAA Benefit or Service, implies that no case management and
employment services were provided during the course of TAA
participation. Such reporting hampers the Department’s ability to
accurately track the duration of employment and case management
services provided to a participant and may mean provision of inadequate
case management.
f. Training Case Management Reporting – Training participants in the
TAA Program are expected to meet training benchmarks as required by
Section 233(f)(3) of the Trade Act, as amended. These benchmarks
should be evaluated at least every 60 days. The evaluation of the
benchmarks would be reported as a case management activity, and
therefore, the Date of Most Recent Case Management and Employment
Service would be reported. This measure tracks that these benchmark
evaluations are being conducted as required.
g. Training Completion Reporting – Reporting training completion is
required under Sec. 249B(b)(3)(A) of the Trade Act, as amended, and is
a focus of TAA efforts to improve performance outcomes. Training
completion below target may imply a lack of case management in
establishing training plans designed to secure long term reemployment.
It may also imply a failure to consider training flexibilities (such as part-
time training) for participants.
h. Credential Reporting – Training leading to a degree or an industry-
recognized credential (as described in TEGL No. 15-10) should define
the majority, if not all, of TAA training plans. This goal reflects the
Department’s continued emphasis on job training and credential
attainment as a strategy for both enhancing earnings and employment for
participants in the public workforce system and meeting employers’
needs for more skilled workers. In addition, data on employment
outcomes has shown that credentials attainment provides consistent and
statistically significant advantages. As a result, it is expected that a
credential will be reported when training participants complete their
designated training. The PIRL includes data elements that track whether
training participants complete or withdraw from up to three types/phases
of training.
i. Service in Quarter Reporting - Participants should exit after 90-days of
no services received or no planned future services. Therefore, this
measure looks to ensure that at least one service has been reported in the
current quarter (which spans approximately 90 days). If the state utilizes
a “common exit” and the participant is co-enrolled, then the service or
planned future service may be from any Department-administered
program in which the participant is enrolled. Therefore, this measure
captures both TAA-specific services, such as Trade Readjustment
Allowance, and the Date of Most Recent Career Service (WIOA), which
would apply to other Department-administered programs.
iii.Category 3: Validating Standardized Codes – Data reported in participant
records for the Occupational Skills Code for training participants and the
industry sectors for those participants successfully employed after program
exit are based on standardized code tables from outside data sources. Valid
Occupational Information Network (O*NET) codes should be reported for
occupational skills training code elements, and valid North American Industry
Classification System (NAICS) codes should be reported in the second quarter
following exit to reflect the industry in which participants are employed.
a. Occupational Skills Codes for Training – States are responsible for
approving TAA training that leads to a reasonable expectation of
employment following completion of such training for the participant, as
required in Sec. 236(a)(1)(C) of the Trade Act, as amended. An
Occupational Skills Code for Training (Training code) should describe
the ultimate focus of the individual’s training plan. Training codes
should always reflect the overall employment goal, even if the training
type is not occupational. Although TAA participants are only entitled to
one training program per certification, the training program may include
up to three different training types occurring over the training period
(such as remedial training, prerequisite training, and occupational
training, etc.). The training code for each participant record should be
consistent over the training period regardless of the type of training
during that period except in instances where the employment goal
changes based on case management decisions during the course of
participation. The TAADI Measure that assesses the training code
determines whether the required reporting of this field for training
participants reflects a valid code through an eight digit iteration, as
measured by O*NET table (for more information, go to
http://www.onetcodeconnector.org/). The expectation for the level of
valid training code reporting is high, as the state agencies that approve
training are also responsible for determining the labor market demand
for the occupation in which the participant is trained and reporting the
training. An edit check exists to confirm that if there is training
reported, an O*NET code is also reported. While the O*NET is not
required to be full and complete for all records to be reported, the
Department expects that only a small portion of records will be out of
date or incomplete due to new code updates. O*NET codes are updated
regularly, and it may take time for states to update their systems to the
new codes. Therefore, the TAADI measure prompts the states to review
the O*NET codes available in their systems and that case managers are
entering codes correctly.
b. Industry Sector Reporting – Industry codes are currently the only
systematically available data accessible to states that describe the type of
employment that TAA participants obtain after exiting the program, and
are required for participants certified under TAA petition numbers TA-
W-70,000 and above, as required in Sec. 249B(b)(4)(D) of the Trade
Act, as amended. This information is available to states through the
employer-reported NAICS code, which is a required field in all state
Unemployment Insurance (UI) wage records. For those participants
who are reemployed the second quarter after program exit, the PIRL has
a field that collects the NAICS code that corresponds to the industry of
the participant’s post-participation employer as reported on UI wage
records or in supplemental information collected by case managers post-
exit, per TEGL No. 26-16. This TAADI Measure tracks whether states
are reporting NAICS codes at the high volume required by the
associated TAADI Target, given that the percentage of participant
records that do not use UI wage records to validate PIRL employment
data is very low. (For more information about this classification system,
see http://www.bls.gov/iag/tgs/iag_index_naics.htm.)
iv. Category 4: Wage Data Outliers – Wage data is currently provided in seven
wage fields, spanning three quarters before program participation and four
quarters after program exit. It may be collected through UI wage record
matching or though the collection of supplemental information, per TEGL No.
26-16. This category and its single measure isolates individual records that
were outside the norm of report results.
a. Wages – This measure captures both:
i. Wages Before Participation – Wage data that reflect pre-
participation earnings are used as part of a calculation to
compare the earnings the first quarter prior to participation to the
earnings the second quarter after exit. Review of this measure
has identified data anomalies that are far outside the norm within
the three quarters prior to program participation and has been
targeted for verification with states.
ii. Wages After Exit – In addition to the use of these data in the
analysis listed above, wages after exit from the program are
central to the primary indicator of performance calculation,
Median Earnings Q2 (or second quarter after exit), as listed in
Sec. 249B(b)(4)(C) of the Trade Act, as amended. Anomalies in
this data are isolated for verification with the reporting state, and
re-reported by the state where corrections are needed.
b. Performance Expectations. TAADI Targets for each TAADI Measure are provided
in Attachment II for the data areas identified above. TAADI Targets are set on an
annual basis and will not be changed during the four quarters of any fiscal year. They
will be communicated to states by the second quarter of each fiscal year. Note that
while Targets will not change within a single fiscal year, some Targets may be
adjusted upwards over time. Targets are established primarily by reviewing the
average amount reported by states. The Target is then set for states to improve beyond
that initial benchmark. Targets may also be set at 100 percent, primarily for measures
that are part of the statutory reporting requirements and annual review for Congress
(e.g. wage data reported).
Annually, the Department may choose to discontinue existing TAADI Measures and
establish new TAADI Measures to better align with current data reporting
deficiencies. States will be notified of discontinued and new measures by the second
quarter of each fiscal year.
c. TAADI Quarterly Snapshot. On a quarterly basis, the Department transmits to each
of the Department’s six Employment and Training Administration (ETA) regional
offices the TAADI Snapshot for further dissemination to each of the region’s
respective states. The Snapshots are formatted as a table to provide an easy
understanding of the relationship between the following included components:
i. the current TAADI Measures for the given period (provided in Attachment
II);
ii. targets for each TAADI Measure (provided in Attachment II);
iii. state-specific results of the TAADI Results for the most recent report quarter;
iv. state-specific TAADI Results of previous quarters within the fiscal year, if
applicable; and
v. sections of the state’s narrative response(s) for those TAADI Targets that are
not met.
States are asked to specify by when issues will be resolved, categorize the types of
issues, and provide a plan for resolution. This information will allow the Department
to provide appropriate technical assistance, as needed. The resolution section may
also include additional context that can inform TAADI processes subject to
Departmental review.
Note that the TAA Program website has a tool, the TAADI Self-Check, that mimics
the quarterly Snapshots and allows states to review their unofficial quarterly TAADI
Results. It may be used to identify reporting issues prior to submitting the quarterly
PIRL files. It can be found under “Data” in the TAA Participant Reporting section.
d. TAADI Compliance Requirements and Quarterly Timetable. The timetable for
TAADI quarterly deadlines is provided in Attachment IV of this guidance, and
includes quarterly deadlines for actions in connection with TAADI. Note that,
following the dissemination of quarterly TAADI Snapshots, further action is required
only if states fail to meet one or more targets. The timelines below and in Attachment
IV refer to calendar days.
i. Seventy (70) days after the end of the report quarter: the Department
distributes TAADI Workbooks to states which includes the TAADI Snapshot,
instructions and descriptions, etc.;
ii. Ninety (90) days after quarterly report deadline: for each TAADI Target that
is not met, states must provide a short narrative (in the section specified on the
TAADI Snapshot) to include the following specifics:
a. The factor(s) responsible for failing to meet the TAADI Target in the
designated TAADI Measure.
b. If failure is equated to non-compliance with reporting expectations, a
description of the corrective action that states will use to resolve the
report failures.
c. A specific date by which the state expects to resolve the report
failures.
iii. One hundred and ten (110) days after quarterly report deadline: the
Department’s response to state comments, if necessary.
e. Annual Review and Corrective Actions. An annual review of TAADI Results
continues to be part of the process required by this guidance.
Following the issuance of the fourth quarter TAADI Results for the fiscal year, the
Department will conduct an annual review of TAADI Results for each state;
disseminate a report analyzing each state’s fourth quarter TAADI Results; and provide
an opportunity for each state that did not meet TAADI Targets to submit a narrative
response to the report (see Attachment II). If all TAADI Targets for the state are met,
then no further action is needed. If states fall short of the TAADI Targets, then a
second phase of review will be conducted, based on all four quarters of the fiscal year
TAADI Results, to be qualified by the following factors:
i. Quality of state narratives (where state TAADI Results are not met):
a. Demonstrated that the state has examined the issue.
ii. Timeline test (one must be true):
a. Included a date by which the issue will be resolved.
b. Measure requires 100 percent and state indicates why data is correct.
iii. Resolution plan (one must be true):
a. Demonstrates that the issue is isolated.
b. Demonstrates a plan for resolution is in place to address a systematic
issue.
iv. State improvement:
a. Percentage of state improvement in TAADI Results over the four
report quarters of the fiscal year meets the established expectations;
b. The extent to which the state TAADI Results fall short of the
designated target is within the established margin, and;
c. The state’s result in the previous year.
Depending on the assessment that results from this two-tier review, the Department
may determine the need for a corrective action plan to be put in place. Corrective
action will not be recommended for TAADI Measures that have been initially
established in that fiscal year in order to allow the state additional time to improve
reporting.
In addition to the steps listed above, the Department may post state annual TAADI
Results to the TAA website.
5. Inquiries. Please direct inquiries to the appropriate Regional Office.

TAADI Glossary of Terms
Date Parameters for Quarterly Expectations – This specification is a part of the Trade
Adjustment Assistance Data Integrity (TAADI) Measure and provides the date parameters
that may apply to the data that is used to calculate the TAADI Measure. For example, in the
example provided in this glossary of TAADI Measure for “Rapid Response”, the TAADI
Measure will filter to isolate records that have a Date of First TAA Benefit or Service
(Participant Integrated Reporting Layout (PIRL) 925) in the 12 month period ending with
the most recent report quarter end date. In this way, the TAADI Results for Rapid Response
will focus on a subset of records that best addresses current reporting and programmatic
issues rather than historic records. The timeframe is the Department’s attempt to analyze the
most relevant group of participants for each TAADI Measure.
Problem Type – This is the first of three response columns that are completed by the state on
the quarterly report cards when a target is not met. The state must select which problem code
best addresses the cause of the target being missed. These responses are reviewed during the
annual review process as part of determining whether the state has examined the issue.
Solve by Quarter – This second response column is also completed by the state when a target
is not met. The state should select the report quarter in which the state will be able to show
the problem as resolved by meeting the designated target. These responses are reviewed
during the annual review process as part of the “timeline test” as discussed in Section 4e of
the Training and Employment Guidance Letter (TEGL).
Resolution – This third response column is completed by the state when a target is not met.
The state will include the resolution plan. As described in Section 4e of the TEGL, the
resolution should either (a) demonstrate that the issue is isolated, or (b) demonstrate a plan is
in place to address a systematic issue. In addition to the annual review, this column is used
during the quarterly report card period to determine if Technical Assistance is needed.
TAADI Measure – The calculation that defines PIRL data area targeted by TAADI. The
calculation will involve a specific value or range of values in a primary data element or set of
elements, while additional data elements may be applied to isolate the PIRL records that are
subject to review within the measure. For example, the TAADI Measure for “Rapid
Response” will focus on the value of Rapid Response (PIRL 908), but only participants with
a Date of First TAA Benefit or Service (PIRL 925) within the most recent year are examined
to focus on current Rapid Response policies. See Date Parameters for Quarterly Report
Expectations in this glossary.
TAADI Result – The percentage of records in a state’s quarterly report that meet the TAADI
measure.
Attachment I
TAADI Snapshot – A view that provides quarterly results of state performance on TAADI
Measures. Also serves as the communication mechanism for state response. See Section 4c
of the TEGL for additional details.
TAADI Target – The minimum percentage of total records assessed in a TAADI Measure that
a state should meet or exceed to meet the target for reporting expectations. If a state’s
TAADI Results are below this threshold, states will be required to analyze or address the
discrepancy.
TAADI Workbook – This is the Excel workbook sent to states each quarter that states return if
TAADI Targets are not met. It includes multiple tabs. The first is the instructions tab, where
instructions for responses are included. The second is the TAADI Snapshot tab, described in
this glossary. The third is the fiscal tab, where the fiscal measures results are described in
additional detail. An income records tab is included for states where there were records
flagged on the Wages TAADI Measure. It includes the flagged records and pertinent
information. The final tab is the descriptions tab where the TAADI Measures are explained
in detail and includes the Date Parameters for Quarterly Expectations for each.

TAADI Fiscal Measure Specifications
1. Participant Integrated Reporting Layout (PIRL)/9130 Quarterly Training Expenditures:
9130 Amount – This amount is the AGGREGATE of the expenditures as reported quarterly
on the Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA) Employment and Training Administration
(ETA)-form 9130(M) for all active TAA program grants. If the state has submitted a
closeout report, the closeout report amount will be used in lieu of the 9130 amount.
Example - quarter ended 03.31.19
At the report date, active program grants were Fiscal Year (FY) 2017, FY 2018, and
FY 2019
Each of these grants has a single consolidated funding stream for each program cost
element.
Quarterly reporting for program cost elements on the TAA ETA-9130(M) as follows:
o Total Expenditures: 10e (Federal Share of Expenditures)
o Admin Expenditures: 10f (Total Administrative Expenditures)
o Case Management Expenditures: 11b (Case Management Expenditures)
o Job Search and Rel. Expenditures 11c (Job Search and Relocation
Expenditures)
While there is a line item for training expenditures (11d), it must be calculated from
the above reported values until the time there is an edit check on the training
expenditures reported. The Total Expenditures (10e) should always equal the sum of
Admin Expenditures (10f), Case Management Expenditures (11b), Job Search and
Relocation Expenditures (11c), and Training Expenditures (11d). If the reports for
the current report quarter submissions and the previous quarter submission both
satisfy this constraint, the calculated amount will be the same as using only Training
Expenditures (11d).
Calculation:
o The sum of total quarterly expenditures (the cumulative value reported on line
10e on the current report quarter submission less the amount reported on the
previous quarter submission) less the sum of quarterly admin expenditures
(the cumulative value reported on line 10f on the current quarter report
submission less the amount reported on the previous quarter report
submission), quarterly case management expenditures (the cumulative value
reported on line 11b on the current quarter report submission less the amount
reported on the previous quarter report submission), and quarterly job search
and relocation expenditures (the cumulative value reported on line 11c on the
current quarter report submission less the amount reported on the previous
quarter report submission).
PIRL Amount – State AGGREGATEs of PIRL Quarterly Expenditures Training
(PIRL 1324) for records where there is a Date Entered Training; Date of First TAA
Benefit or Service; Date of Exit in or after the report period, or no Exit Date; Total
Training Expenditures reported is greater than zero; and TAA Liable/Agent Identifier is
“2” or “0”.
Attachment III
2. PIRL/9130 Quarterly Trade Readjustment Allowances (TRA) Expenditures:
9130 Amount – This amount is the quarterly TRA expenditures as reported quarterly for
the active TRA grant. It is calculated by taking the cumulative value reported on line 10e
Federal Share of Expenditures on the current quarter report submission less the
cumulative expenditures reported on Line 10e of the previous quarter report submission.
If the state has submitted a closeout report, the closeout report amount will be used in lieu
of the 9130 amount. Note: States use the standard version of the ETA-form 9130 for
quarterly TRA grant reporting.
PIRL Amount – The AGGREGATE of the dollar amount reported under PIRL
Quarterly Basic, Additional, Remedial, Completion TRA Expenditures (PIRL 1514,
1519, 1524, 1529) for records where there is a Date of First TAA Benefit or Service on or
before the current report quarter; a Date of Exit in or after the current report period;
where Weeks Paid Quarterly Basic, Additional, Remedial, Completion TRA is greater
than zero; and TAA Liable/Agent Identifier is “1” or “0”.
3. PIRL/9130 Quarterly Alternative Trade Adjustment Assistance/Reemployment Trade
Adjustment Assistance (ATAA/RTAA) Expenditures:
9130 Amount – This amount is the quarterly ATAA/RTAA expenditures as reported
quarterly for the active ATAA/RTAA grant. It is calculated by taking the cumulative
value reported on line 10e Federal Share of Expenditures on the current quarter report
submission less the cumulative expenditures reported on Line 10e of the previous quarter
report submission. If the state has submitted a closeout report, the closeout report amount
will be used in lieu of the 9130 amount. Note: States use the standard version of the ETA-
form 9130 for quarterly ATAA/RTAA grant reporting.
PIRL Amount – State aggregate of PIRL Current Quarter ATAA/RTAA Payments
(PIRL 1536) for records where there is a Date of First TAA Benefit or service; Date of
Exit in or after the report period; Number of Quarterly ATAA/RTAA Payments is greater
than zero; and TAA Liable/Agent Identifier is “1” or “0”.
4. PIRL/9130 Job Search and Relocation Expenditures:
9130 Amount – This amount is the AGGREGATE of quarterly job search and relocation
expenditures as reported quarterly for all active TAA program grants. It is calculated by
taking the cumulative value reported on line 11c Job Search and Relocation Expenditures
on the current quarter report submission less the amount reported on the previous quarter
report submission. If the state has submitted a closeout report, the closeout report amount
Attachment III
will be used in lieu of the 9130 amount. Note: This is the same amount as utilized above
in the Job Search and Relocation portion of the 9130 Training Expenditures calculation.
PIRL Amount – State aggregate of PIRL Job Search Allowance Current Quarter -
Costs (PIRL 1506) and Relocation Allowance Current Quarter - Costs (PIRL 1509)
for records where there is a Date of First TAA Benefit or service; where Job Search
Allowance Current Quarterly - Costs is greater than 0 and Relocation Allowance Current
Quarter – Costs is greater than 0; and TAA Liable/Agent Identifier is “2” or “0”.
Accrual Reporting Requirement
As provided in Training and Employment Guidance Letter (TEGL) No. 02-16 and the ETA-
form 9130(M), ETA requires that recipients of Federal awards report on an accrual basis.
Accrued expenditures, as defined in 2 CFR 200.34, means charges incurred by the grantee
during a given period requiring the provision of funds for: (1) goods and other tangible
property received; (2) services performed by employees, contractors, sub-grantees,
subcontractors, and other payees; and (3) other amounts becoming owed under programs for
which no current services or performance is required, such as annuities, insurance claims,
and other benefits.
In general, total accrued expenditures are costs incurred for goods and services received
regardless of whether the payment has been made (TEGL No. 02-16).
