TRAINING AND EMPLOYMENT GUIDANCE LETTER NO. 4-07
TO: ALL SENIOR COMMUNITY SERVICE EMPLOYMENT
PROGRAM (SCSEP) GRANTEES
FROM: EMILY STOVER DeROCCO /s/
Assistant Secretary
SUBJECT: Program Year 2007 Planning Instructions and Allotments for All
SCSEP Applicants
1. Purpose. To provide all SCSEP applicants with grant application instructions
and procedures for Program Year (PY) 2007, beginning July 1, 2007.
2. References. 2006 Older Americans Act (OAA) Amendments, Pub. L. 109-365
October 17, 2006, 20 CFR part 641; SCSEP Performance Accountability Interim
Rule, 72 Fed. Reg. 35831 (June 29, 2007); Training and Employment Guidance
Letter (TEGL) 30-06; TEGL 26-06; TEGL 25-06.
3. Background. The 2006 Amendments to the Older Americans Act (OAA) were
signed into law on October 17, 2006. Applicants can access Title V of the OAA,
which authorizes SCSEP, on www.doleta.gov/seniors under the “Laws and
Regulations” link. The law became effective July 1, 2007, and grantees must comply
with the requirements of the new legislation beginning on that date.
This issuance will provide guidance on all new requirements that grantees must
address in their PY 2007 grant applications. This guidance is directed to all current
grantees: national, state and territorial. Regulations related to performance
accountability were published on June 29, 2007, and we are issuing this guidance
because regulations implementing all other parts of the 2006 OAA Amendments will
not be published until later this year. Accordingly, this guidance provides direction
on additional statutory requirements that PY 2007 SCSEP grantees must meet in
order to be in compliance with the 2006 OAA Amendments.
Guidance on the new performance accountability requirements has been provided
in TEGL 30-06. Once performance measures were established, performance goals
were negotiated with all grantees who then developed a performance narrative to
RESCISSIONS
TEGL 30-05 EXPIRATION DATE
June 30, 2008
support these goals. The Department of Labor (the Department) then incorporated
both the performance narrative and the agreed-upon performance goals in the PY
2007 grant application.
The Department delayed issuance of these instructions until the enactment of the
new Federal minimum wage increase on May 25, 2007. The measure, which goes
into effect 60 days after enactment, raises the Federal minimum wage in three steps
to $7.25 by 2009. For PY 2007, the minimum wage changes on July 24, 2007, to $5.85
per hour. (The minimum wage will increase to $6.55 an hour one year after
enactment, and to $7.25 per hour in 2009.)
In order to ensure timely funding by July 1, 2007, and to safeguard continuity for
participants in the short time period that remained until the beginning of PY 2007,
the Department issued conditional grants as directed in TEGL 26-06. Grantees
were advised that these grants were awarded contingent on the submission of
complete grant application packages as delineated in these planning instructions.
4. Regional Innovation and Economic Competitiveness and the SCSEP.
ETA’s current policy and strategic priorities reflect the critical role of regional
economies in innovation and economic growth. In an effort to support regional
economies, ETA encourages the public workforce system and its partners to adopt
the Workforce Innovation in Regional Economic Development (WIRED) framework.
This approach brings together key stakeholders in regions to leverage their collective
public and private sector assets and resources in order to devise strategies that focus
on infrastructure, investment, and talent development that will optimize innovation
and successful regional economic transformation. This section of the TEGL provides
SCSEP applicants with an overview of key economic trends impacting the U.S.
economy, the role of the public workforce system and its partners in supporting
regional economies, and background on the WIRED framework. Older workers are
a critical talent asset in regional economies, and SCSEP applicants can play an
important role in ensuring the success of these economies by supporting the WIRED
framework and preparing SCSEP participants for employment opportunities in the
regions in which they provide services.
The U.S. economy and its labor markets are undergoing changes of historic
proportion. Globalization has forced change in every region in the country and
impacted every aspect of our economy. Global competition is typically seen as a
national challenge, but in reality, regions are where companies, workers, educators,
researchers, entrepreneurs, and governments come together to create a competitive
advantage in the global marketplace. Those regions that will be most successful will
connect three key elements: talent, infrastructure, and investment. In particular,
they will connect workforce skills and lifelong learning strategies; regional
infrastructure and economic development strategies; and investment and
entrepreneurship strategies.
In the new global economy, a region’s ability to develop, attract, and retain a well-
educated and skilled workforce is a key factor in our nation’s economic
competitiveness. A region may possess a strong infrastructure and the investment
resources for success, but without the talented men and women to use those
elements for economic growth, they are not utilized to the fullest potential. Talent
can also drive infrastructure improvements and investment because investment
capital will follow talent, while infrastructure can be built to support a growing
economy.
It is increasingly important that the public workforce system acts as a strategic
driver of regional economic development. The public workforce system plays a
critical role in preparing the workforce for the global economy. ETA envisions that
the public workforce system and its partners will operate as a talent development
system that not only meets the needs of industry, but also contributes to economic
prosperity by collaborating with economic development to identify emerging
industries that it can help foster and grow. Its goal is an educated and prepared
workforce that is able to compete in the global economy.
In recognition that talent drives prosperity, ETA launched the WIRED initiative.
The goal of the WIRED initiative is to expand employment and advancement
opportunities for American workers and catalyze the creation of high-skill and high-
wage opportunities in regional economies. ETA has already invested in regional
economies around the country through WIRED, and encourages the public
workforce system and its partners to adopt the WIRED framework.
Though ETA developed this framework through working with the original set of
WIRED grantees, it is helpful for any regional economy that is devising strategies
that focus on infrastructure, investment, and talent development to optimize
innovation and build economic prosperity. The WIRED framework has six critical
components: a strong regional identity; a socially-networked leadership group; data-
driven strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats analysis; aligned strategies
that integrate investment, infrastructure, and talent; a culture of innovation and
entrepreneurship; and shared resources to implement strategies.
Applicants are encouraged to support the WIRED framework by preparing SCSEP
participants for employment opportunities in industries and occupations that are
critical in the regions in which they are providing services. Applicants can utilize a
variety of specific strategies as part of their overall efforts to help prepare
participants for these employment opportunities, such as ensuring that community
service employment assignments help prepare participants for employment
opportunities that are prevalent in key industries in their regions, and placing
participants in employment opportunities that are critical to the economic success of
those regions. Applicants are asked to identify specific strategies for preparing
individuals for high-growth employment opportunities in their regions throughout
the technical plan instructions.
5. PY 2007 Program Allotments. See Attachment V for funding levels and authorized
positions.
6. Grant Application Procedures. All SCSEP grant applicants must submit a grant
application package in order to be funded. The Grant Officer will not recommend a
grant application for funding that fails to provide any of the required information
outlined in this guidance. The attachments to this guidance provide detailed
instructions.
A complete grant application package must contain the following:
• Project Narrative or Technical Proposal in accordance with Attachment I;
• A signed SF-424 Form, Application for Federal Assistance (Attachment
III);
• An SF-424A Form, Budget Information Form, with a detailed budget
breakout (see Attachments II and III); and
• Special Conditions (as provided in Attachment IV).
The Grant Officer will provide Grant Assurances and Certifications when the grant
is returned to the applicant for signature.
Other required supporting documents, as applicable, include:
• If changes have been made or are required in the applicant’s current
operating manuals and procedures (including orientation materials
provided to participants on policies) since the PY 2006 grant application
submission, applicants should include one copy of the updated materials.
• If applicants have elected to modify their PY 2006 State Senior
Employment Services Coordination Plan as provided in TEGL 25-06, they
should include one copy of the modification.
• Applicants must list their most recent available audit report and their
most recent available monitoring reports. Applicants should be able to
provide such reports if requested by the regional SCSEP contact.
7. Grant Application Intergovernmental Reviews. In accordance with section 502(d)
of the OAA, as amended in 2006 (the 2006 OAA Amendments), applicants must
share applications on an intrastate basis and provide appropriate Area Agencies on
Aging (AAAs) with copies of the SF-424, Application for Federal Assistance,
including a summary of the project locations and an explanation of the services that
the applicant will provide. In addition, applicants should follow procedures
established by Executive Order 12372, which implements the Single Point of Contact
(SPOC) system, unless the state SPOC has waived this requirement. Applicants
should include documentation supporting these requirements with the grant
application.
8. Methods of Submission. There are several acceptable methods of submission:
• Applicants are encouraged to apply online at http://www.grants.gov by
the deadline specified in section 12 of this issuance. Online applicants
must use the following identifier with their submissions: SGA/DFA PY
06-13. Applicants submitting electronic applications via Grants.gov are
strongly encouraged to immediately initiate and complete the “Get
Started” steps to register with Grants.gov at
http://www.grants.gov/GetStarted. These steps will probably take
multiple days to complete, which should be factored into the applicant’s
plans for electronic application submission in order to avoid facing
unexpected delays that could result in the rejection of the application.
Applicants should save the application document as a .doc or PDF file if
they submit the application electronically; or
• Applicants may submit hard copy applications via overnight delivery. If
applicants elect to do so, an original and two copies of each document in
the grant application package must be provided; or
• Applicants may submit applications on disks or CDs via overnight
delivery.
In all cases, if the supporting documents referenced in section 6 of this issuance are
required (e.g., changes in current operating manuals and procedures), applicants
should ensure that such documents are included in the submission, either as an
electronic attachment or in hard copy.
9. Eligibility Review/Responsibility Review/Grant Application Review. DOL will
conduct a pre-award eligibility review, responsibility review, and grant application
review as provided at section 514 of the 2006 OAA Amendments and 20 CFR
641.430-440 of the current regulations. DOL will not designate applicants as
grantees for PY 2007 if they:
• Fail to meet the eligibility tests of section 514(c) of the 2006 OAA
Amendments and criteria as provided at 20 CFR 641.430 of the current
regulations; or
• Fail to meet the responsibility tests of section 514(d) of the 2006 OAA
Amendments and criteria as provided at 20 CFR 641.440 of the current
regulations; or
• Fail to submit a plan that complies with the new statutory requirements.
10. Administrative Costs. The 2006 OAA Amendments, at section 502(c)(3)(A)-(B), do
not change the requirements relating to the use of funds for administrative costs.
Section 641.867 of the current regulations generally limits administrative costs to no
more than 13.5 percent of the SCSEP funds received for a program year. However,
as provided at 20 CFR 641.870 of the current regulations, DOL may honor an
applicant’s request to increase the amount available for administrative costs to not
more than 15 percent if DOL determines that it is necessary to carry out the project,
and the applicant demonstrates that:
• It is incurring major administrative cost increases in necessary program
components; or
• The number of employment positions in the project or the number of
eligible minority individuals participating in the project will decline if the
amount available for paying the cost of administration is not increased; or
• The size of the project is so small that the amount of administrative
expenses incurred to carry out the project necessarily exceeds 13.5 percent
of the amount for such project.
General statements that costs have increased do not constitute adequate
justification. The applicant must identify which costs have increased, why they
have increased, and how these costs relate to program operations.
11. Data Submission and Quality Requirements. Grantees are responsible for
submitting required SCSEP participant data to the SCSEP Performance and Results
QPR (SPARQ) system in a timely manner. Grantees who do not submit sufficient
useable data may be determined to have failed to comply with a material condition
of the award and may be subject to administrative penalties unless they can
document that the failure to submit useable data was due to circumstances beyond
their control. Administrative penalties for non-profit organizations are articulated
at 29 CFR 95.62 and for state and local governments at 29 CFR 97.43.
12. Schedule. Applicants must comply with the following timetable:
• Provide the SF-424 and SF-424A Grant Application forms and narrative to
the State Office on Aging and the Area Agencies on Aging no later than
the date of submission to the Division of Adult Services; and
• The PY 2007 grant application must be submitted to the Division of Adult
Services by August 31, 2007. However, applicants are encouraged to
submit their applications as soon as possible.
If applicants elect to submit applications by overnight delivery, completed
application packages, including supporting documents as applicable, should be
transmitted to:

ATTACHMENT I
TECHNICAL PROPOSAL INSTRUCTIONS
This Attachment contains detailed instructions for the completion of a project narrative.
PLEASE READ EACH SECTION OF THE NARRATIVE INSTRUCTIONS
CAREFULLY. NO GRANT WILL BE RECOMMENDED FOR FUNDING THAT
FAILS TO PROVIDE THE INFORMATION REQUIRED BY THIS GUIDANCE.
FORMAT
Although the Department encourages applicants to submit applications online, applicants
may also elect to submit applications via disks or CDs, or in hard copy. If an application
is submitted in hard copy, the text of the project narrative must be double-spaced with
one-inch margins at the top, bottom, right and left sides. Pages must be numbered. The
Department permits the use of graphs, maps, and tables, but these must be properly
labeled. In addition to using the required section headings, the Department encourages
applicants to use brief topic headings for paragraphs in the text.
To facilitate review of hard copy applications, the title, “PART I – PROJECT
NARRATIVE” should be centered, the section headings and subheadings should be
entered at the left-hand margin.
CONTENT
Content guidelines for the project narrative are discussed in the following five sections.
The content must be concise and relevant. Avoid direct reiteration of statutory or
regulatory requirements. The grant application must provide an explanation of the
proposed project.
SECTION 1 – TECHNICAL APPROACH
This section requires information from the applicant about the operations of the proposed
project and the methods and procedures that the applicant will use to implement project
operations. You must provide a narrative that fulfills the requirements of the following
two subsections.
1
A. Plan of Action. Provide a description of each project function or activity. You must
provide adequate descriptions for the reviewer to ascertain how the applicant will
implement the project. The following activities must be discussed separately:
(1) Regional Economic Overview. Provide an overview of the labor market and
economic landscape of the regions in which you plan to implement your SCSEP
projects. Your overview should identify industries that are growing in these
regions, have high levels of total employment, or are otherwise critical to the
success of the economies of these regions, and labor market information for
specific occupations in those industries that offer career opportunities for SCSEP
participants. If you are a national grantee and serve states or multi-state areas
with more than three regions or if you are a state grantee serving multiple regions,
you only need to provide this information for a sample of the regions in your
service area.
(2) Recruitment and Selection of Participants. Outline a comprehensive plan for
recruiting program participants. This plan should include specific recruiting
activities that you will use, including the role of partners that will be involved in
these efforts, and milestones, resources, and timelines. This plan should include a
description of the role that One-Stop Career Centers will play in recruiting
activities. The revised income definitions and income inclusions and exclusions
for determining SCSEP eligibility, as described in TEGL 12-06, must be used to
determine and document participant eligibility. Indicate how eligibility will be
determined and documented. TEGL 12-06 may be accessed on
www.doleta.gov/seniors under “Technical Assistance.” Identify new strategies to
recruit applicants who can meet the income eligibility guidelines, especially those
who must have priority for service.
Priority is to be afforded to individuals who are 65 years of age and older or:
(a) Have a disability;
(b) Have limited English proficiency or low literacy skills;
(c) Reside in a rural area;
(d) Are veterans or spouses of veterans as defined in 20 CFR 641.520(a)(2);
(e) Have low employment prospects;
(f) Have failed to find employment after utilizing services provided through the
One-Stop Delivery System; or
(g) Are homeless or are at risk for homelessness. See OAA sec. 518(b)(1)-(2)
2
In addition, applicants must be mindful of the requirements of OAA sec. 515
regarding documentation of efforts to serve minority individuals under the
program. Please refer to section (A)(25) of these instructions for planning
requirements related to this provision.
(3) 20 CFR 641.505, Continued Eligibility for Enrollment in the SCSEP. You
are required to recertify the income of each participant at least once every 12
months. Indicate the schedule for certifying participants and the actions you plan
to take to deal with those found to be ineligible, including notification of their
right to appeal the finding. Indicate where eligibility records will be maintained.
TEGL 12-06 does not permit self-attestation of income eligibility.
(4) 20 CFR 641.565(b)(ii)(A) and (B), Physical Examinations. Describe the
process for offering physicals to participants as a fringe benefit as required under
current regulations. Also describe the process for maintaining documentation of
those participants who elect to take physicals and those who waive them.
(5) 20 CFR 641.535(a)(1), Orientation. Describe participant and host agency
orientation procedures. The description should include mention of participant and
agency responsibilities, permissible political activities, grievance procedures, etc.
(6) 20 CFR 641.535(a)(2), Assessment. Describe procedures for assessing the job
aptitudes, readiness, and preferences of participants, their barriers to employment,
as well as their potential for transition into unsubsidized employment. Training
and supportive service needs of participants must also be addressed as part of this
assessment. You must conduct assessments no fewer than two times during a
twelve-month period.
(7) 20 CFR 641.535(a)(3), Individual Employment Plan (IEP). Describe how you
will use the assessment to develop a participant’s IEP, how often the IEP will be
updated, and how the participant will participate in this joint effort at least as
often as the assessment.
(8) 20 CFR 641.535(a)(4), Assignment to Community Service Employment
Activities In Host Agencies. Describe how participants will be assigned to
community service employment activities and receive training. Include such
factors as:
(a) Types of community service employment activities that you will emphasize
in assigning participants, and how they were chosen;
(b) Methods you will use to match participants with community service
employment assignments;
3
(c) Extent to which you will place participants in community service
employment assignments involving the administration of the project itself
and how you will ensure that all participants in a project are treated equally;
(d) Types of host agencies you will use and the procedures and criteria you will
utilize in selecting the community service employment assignments;
(e) Process for ensuring that community service employment activities offered
in communities provide training that prepares participants for unsubsidized
employment;
(f) Process for ensuring that community service activities support the regional
economy by helping prepare participants for employment opportunities that
are prevalent in key industries in the regional economy or are otherwise
critical to the success of the regional economy;
(g) Average number of hours per week for participants in community service
employment assignments, including an explanation of circumstances if you
anticipate that this may be adjusted during the course of the grant year to
accommodate over-enrollment;
(h) Average hourly wage paid to participants during community service
employment assignments, reflecting the higher of the local, State or Federal
minimum wage as required at 641.565(a), and the average hourly wage paid
to participants assigned to project administration;
(i) Time limits, if any, on the amount of time participants may spend at a
particular host agency;
(j) Procedures for ensuring that participants are given adequate supervision
during their community service employment assignment by host agency
staff; and
(k) Procedures for ensuring that participants work in safe and healthy
conditions.
(9) OAA sec. 502(c)(6)(A)(i), Participant Benefits. The 2006 Amendments change
the prior policies that applied to participant fringe benefits. The use of grant
funds for benefits is now limited to those that are required by State or Federal law
(such as workers’ compensation or unemployment insurance), the costs of
physical examinations, compensation for scheduled work hours during which an
applicant’s or sub-recipient’s business is closed for a Federal holiday, and
necessary paid or unpaid sick leave that is not part of an accumulated sick leave
program. At this time, the Department has not determined if the statute requires
that grantees must provide necessary sick leave and Federal holiday pay to
participants, and leaves it to the discretion of the grantees to develop reasonable
4
documented policy on this matter. Grant funds may not be used to pay the cost of
pension benefits, annual leave, accumulated sick leave or bonuses. With the
exception of physical examinations for participants, which is addressed in section
A(4) above, you must describe benefits you will provide to participants,
consistent with these new statutory parameters.
(10) Other Training. Describe the training that you will provide to participants in
addition to training provided as part of a community service employment
assignment, including, but not limited to, training provided through the One-Stop
Delivery System. Identify the types of training provided (including occupation-
specific training); the credential(s) that training leads to, including industry-
recognized credentials, where appropriate; organizations that will provide
training; how no-cost or low cost training is being leveraged through partnerships;
and how training is linked to IEPs and the needs of the community, and will help
prepare participants for unsubsidized employment, including employment
opportunities that are prevalent in key industries in the regional economy or are
otherwise critical to the success of the regional economy. Such training includes
lectures, seminars, classroom instruction, individual instruction, online
instruction, private sector on-the-job experiences, work experience or other
arrangements. See Older Worker Bulletin 04-04.
In particular, applicants should describe plans to arrange to provide computer
training for participants who require such instruction to prepare for meaningful
community service employment assignments and unsubsidized employment, and
should specify in the budget submissions that grant funds have been set aside for
this purpose. If you have determined that your participants will not require
computer training, you must provide documentation to support this decision.
(11) OAA sec 502(c)(6)(C), Additional Funds for Programmatic Activity Costs
The 2006 Amendments permit an exception to the 75% minimum level of
expenditures on participant wages and fringe benefits that allows grantees to
request to use not less than 65% of program funds for wages, benefits, and other
costs, so that up to an additional 10% of funds is available for training and
supportive services. Applicants that wish to request this authority must
provide:
(a) A description of the additional training and supportive services;
(b) An explanation of how such activities will improve the effectiveness of
the project and the employment outcomes for individuals served;
(c) A sequence and timeline for these activities; and
(d) If applicable, an explanation concerning whether any displacement of
eligible individuals or elimination of positions for such individuals will occur,
information on the number of such individuals to be displaced and
5
of such positions to be eliminated.
Applicants that requested this authority with their conditional applications should
include a copy of this request with their complete application. If item (d) above
applies, an additional explanation should be provided.
(12) 20 CFR 641.545, Supportive Services. Describe the supportive services that you
will offer to help participants obtain and retain an unsubsidized job. Identify the
source(s) of these services.
(13) 20 CFR 641.550, Placement into Unsubsidized Employment. Describe the
steps that you will take to move or place participants into unsubsidized
employment. Describe strategies for: identifying current employment
opportunities and projected employment opportunities in regions, including
employment opportunities in industries and occupations that are critical to the
success of the regional economy; developing and maintaining partnerships with
employers; efforts to identify employment opportunities with established career
ladders; specific placement strategies, including strategies for placing individuals
in industries and occupations that are critical to the success of the regional
economy; strategies for placing participants in opportunities with established
career ladders; and retention strategies once participants enter the workforce.
Include the cooperative measures that you will take with the Workforce
Investment Act and One-Stop delivery system in support of this effort, and who
will be responsible for this implementation.
(14) OAA sec. 502(b)(1)(C), Average Participation. The 2006 Amendments require
that grantees must meet an average participation cap for eligible individuals (in
the aggregate) of 27 months starting on July 1, 2007, subject to extension for
extenuating circumstances. Describe the procedures you will implement to meet
this new requirement.
(15) OAA sec. 518(a)(3)(B)(i), Maximum Duration of Program Participation. The
2006 Amendments mandate new requirements relating to the maximum time
period a participant may spend in the program. Describe how you will institute
procedures to ensure that, starting on July 1, 2007, eligible individuals may not
participate in the program in excess of a maximum duration of 48 months in the
aggregate (whether or not consecutive), except in certain instances when an
exception is granted by the Department. Describe how you will institute
procedures to transition participants to unsubsidized employment or other
assistance before the maximum duration time period has expired.
(16) 20 CFR 641.580, Terminations. Describe participant termination policies for:
(a) provision of false information;
(b) income ineligibility determined at recertification;
6
(c) incorrect initial eligibility determination;
(d) cause; and
(e) failure to comply with the terms of the IEP.
(17) 20 CFR 641.910, Applicant, Employee and Participant Complaint Resolution.
Describe the system of due process for cases in which an adverse action is
contemplated against a participant, an employee of the grantee or sub-recipient, or
in cases in which an applicant for enrollment wishes to dispute an unfavorable
determination of eligibility. Attach an example of the written explanation of the
due process system that is given to each participant.
(18) Over-Enrollment. Describe how participant over-enrollment would be handled
to minimize the impact on participants. Describe how you will notify participants
in advance of any duration limits that are imposed, and how you will document
acknowledgement of such limits. Describe how you will work with other
grantees to balance Equitable Distribution requirements with over-enrollment to
achieve equitable distribution.
(19) OAA sec. 502(b)(1)(G), Maintenance of Effort. Describe steps that you will
take to ensure compliance with the maintenance of effort requirements, which
have been slightly modified from the current regulations as a result of the
enactment of the 2006 Amendments:
Each project funded under title V:
(a) Must not reduce the number of employment opportunities or vacancies
that would otherwise be available to individuals not participating in the
program;
(b) Must not displace currently employed workers (including partial
displacement, such as a reduction in the hours of non-overtime work,
wages, or employment benefits);
(c) Must not impair existing contracts or result in the substitution of Federal
funds for other funds in connection with work that would otherwise be
performed; and
(d) Must not assign or continue to assign any eligible individual to perform
the same work or substantially the same work as that performed by any
other individual who is on layoff.
(20) Procedures for Payroll and Payment of Workers’ Compensation Costs.
Describe how payroll and workers’ compensation premiums are paid for
7
participants. Include in this description an estimate of how much is paid
in a grant year for workers’ compensation premiums and separately for
workers’ compensation claims. GRANTEES MAY NOT DELEGATE
THESE PROCEDURES TO HOST AGENCIES.
(21) Collaboration. Describe how you will collaborate with other entities serving
the same area to maximize opportunities for SCSEP participants to obtain
intensive and training services, and to move into unsubsidized employment:
(a) Coordination with the public workforce system. Describe collaboration with
workforce investment boards, One-Stop Career Centers, and other WIA
partners, such as: stationing SCSEP staff at One-Stop Career Centers; co-
enrolling SCSEP participants at One-Stop Career Centers; utilizing intensive
and/or training services available through WIA; and partnering with One-Stop
Career Center staff on employer engagement strategies;

MOUs will be established in areas where they do not exist, and the timeline
for having agreements with all areas.
(22) Non-Federal Share (Required Match). Outline your strategy for providing the
non-federal share of your project (i.e. the required match). This includes the
specific cash and/or in-kind contributions that will be provided to satisfy this
requirement. As provided at sec. 502(c)(1), in general, the Department may pay a
Federal share not to exceed 90 percent of the cost of any project for which a grant
is made unless a project is an emergency or disaster project, or a project in an
economically depressed area, as determined by the Department in consultation
with the Departments of Commerce and Health and Human Services.
(23) Leveraged Resources. Describe any strategy you may have for leveraging other
resources, in addition to the non-federal share (i.e. the required match), from other
key partners in your region(s) (including organizations in both the public and
private sector) to support your SCSEP program. Organizations providing
leveraged resources could include state and local government agencies,
foundations, employers, community-based organizations, and other entities.
Leveraged resources include the following:
(a) Cash and/or in-kind contributions that could qualify as non-federal share (i.e.
the required match), but are not included on the SF-424 and 424A as part of
the formal non-federal share (i.e. the required match);
8
(b) Resources provided through involvement with other federal programs,
such as Vocational Rehabilitation , Adult Education and adult services funded
through the Workforce Investment Act;
(c) Cash and/or in-kind contributions that are allowable costs under OMB cost
provisions, but are restricted and unallowable costs for the SCSEP program.
(24) 20 CFR 641.500(b), Cross-Border Agreements. State applicants may enter into
agreements to permit cross-border enrollment of eligible participants. Such
agreements must cover both State and national grantee slots and must be
submitted as an attachment to this section for approval by the Department.
(25) OAA sec. 515, Service to Minorities. The 2006 Amendments require that the
Secretary prepare an annual report on the levels of participation and performance
outcomes of minority individuals served by SCSEP. Accordingly, describe your
plans to serve minority individuals in your service areas.
B. Data Collection and Reporting. In this section, describe how you will ensure
complete, accurate, and timely data collection and reporting by all sub-recipients.
Specifically, you must indicate:
(1) How you will use SCSEP grant money or matching funds to obtain any needed
hardware or Internet connectivity;
(2) How and where data entry will be accomplished if sub-recipients lack the capacity
to perform data entry;
(3) How you will ensure that those capturing and recoding data are familiar with the
latest instructions for data collection, including Department guidances, such as
Older Worker Bulletins, TEGLs, the Data Collection Handbook, and Internet
postings;
(4) How you will ensure that data are submitted timely for the QPR and final QPR;
(5) That sub-recipients will be legally obligated to enter all required data relating to
all participants served during the period covered by its sub-grants;
(6) That sub-recipients will be legally obligated to turn over complete data files in the
specified electronic format, as well as hard copy case files, to the grantee at the
time that the sub-recipient ceases to administer the SCSEP;
(7) That any new sub-recipients will be legally obligated to enter complete data
related to any participants whom they acquire upon becoming sub-recipients; and
9
(8) For non-Web DCS users, how you will ensure that data are uploaded to SPARQ in
accordance with Department timelines and guidance.
C. Equitable Distribution. Describe any current slot imbalances and the steps you are
proposing to correct such inequities in conjunction with other selected SCSEP
applicants. Applicants must ensure that this information is consistent with the ED
report.
SECTION 2 – GEOGRAPHIC AREAS TO BE SERVED
List the cities and counties where you will conduct the project and its subprojects.
Include the number of SCSEP authorized positions that you will establish in each
jurisdiction. For those applicants with a project located in a city but also serving
surrounding counties (or other jurisdictions), the authorized positions for the surrounding
counties/jurisdictions must be listed as well. Please indicate where the Department has
changed authorized positions from the prior year. Also include a list of how many slots
are filled and the number that are vacant. The Department suggests using a chart format,
although you may elect to provide a narrative or other format.
SECTION 3 – PROGRAM ADMINISTRATION
A. Organizational Structure, Staff and Systems. Describe the organizational structure
of the project, including a brief explanation of the mission and function of each unit
connected with the project. Identify the key staff involved in the project, including
their primary responsibilities. Outline the primary systems that you will use to
support the project, including both MIS systems to track and collect participant data
and financial management systems.
B. 20 CFR 641.861, Sub-recipient Management. Sub-recipients are the legal entities
to which a sub-award of financial assistance, which may include a subcontract, is
made by the grantee (or by a sub-recipient), and that is accountable to the grantee for
the use of funds provided. For purposes of the SCSEP, “sub-recipient” is defined at
29 CFR 95.2(kk).
Address key aspects of the management of SCSEP sub-recipients. Describe how you
will communicate grant requirements to sub-recipients, and how you will keep sub-
recipients informed of all significant policy, program, data collection, and
performance developments and directives for which you are accountable. Describe
how you will ensure that sub-recipients receive adequate resources to effectively
operate local projects. Finally, describe the training that you will provide to increase
their skills, knowledge, and abilities. Where applicable, include a description of the
proposed staff training with dates, content, and potential participants. In completing
this section, you need not provide specific information on your sub-recipients. For
the purposes of this TEGL, the Department is interested in general procedures and
practices you will utilize to manage and select your sub-recipients.
10
C. OAA sec. 514(e)(2), Special Consideration by National Grantees in Sub-recipient
Selection. The 2006 Amendments articulate specific requirements for national grant
applicants in selecting sub-recipients. In areas where a substantial population of
individuals with barriers to employment exists, national grant applicants must
describe how they will give special consideration to organizations (including former
recipients of national grants) with demonstrated expertise in serving individuals with
barriers to employment. As provided at OAA sec. 514(e)(1), individuals with barriers
to employment include minority individuals, Indian individuals and individuals in the
priority of service categories described at OAA 518(b)(2).
D. Project Monitoring. Explain the methods and procedures you will use to monitor
and evaluate project activities and sub-recipients to determine whether such project
activities and sub-recipients are in accordance with Federal guidelines and regulations
and whether sub-recipients are meeting project goals and timetables. Respond to the
following particulars:
(1) Frequency of monitoring/evaluation visits to local projects;
(2) Person(s) responsible for monitoring and evaluation;
(3) Key programmatic, administrative, and financial aspects of the grant that you

your files are set up, including whether they are electronic or hard copy files. Include
a description of how you will ensure that participant files are maintained for three (3)
program years after the program year in which all follow-up activity for a participant
has been completed.
You should describe how sub-recipients will protect personnel records, including the
I-9 forms for all participants, to avoid identity theft and other violations of personal
information. Specific steps should be outlined to assure that participant records are
securely stored and access is limited to appropriate staff. If applicable, describe
measures that you will take to protect the electronic storage and retrieval of personnel
information.
If you are interested in using electronic media for record keeping, describe the
safeguards that you will use to preclude tampering with the information and
assurances that electronic signatures, Personal Identification Numbers (PINS), etc.,

ATTACHMENT II
BUDGET INFORMATION INSTRUCTIONS
Part 2 of the proposal should be titled “PART II-PROPOSED PROJECT BUDGET.”
The applicant must prepare the proposed budget using Standard Form (SF) 424 and 424A
(available in Adobe Acrobat format at http://www.doleta.gov/sga/forms.cfm).
Sections A, B, and C of the SF-424A should include budget estimates for the entire grant
period. In the past, in sections A and B applicants were asked to identify how costs
would be allocated among different functional areas or cost classifications, such as
administration and participant wages and fringe benefits. Applicants are no longer
required to identify on this form how costs are allocated among functional areas.
However, applicants must continue to follow the program requirements regarding the
expenditure and reporting of funds, including requirements regarding the proportion of
funds to be spent in each functional area.
The following instructions are intended to clarify the process of completing the SF-424
grant application and the SF-424A budget form. The current authorizing legislation and
regulations should be reviewed as well as OW Bulletin No. 00-20, Allocation of Indirect
Costs. Sufficient funding for administrative costs must go to the local levels of program
operation.
CLARIFYING INSTRUCTIONS FOR STANDARD FORM 424
If additional space is needed to complete an item, insert an asterisk and use an extra sheet
of paper. For the most part, this form is self-explanatory. Complete all applicable items.
Item 14. List the counties with the number of authorized positions to be placed in each
one. If the space on the form is not sufficient, please continue on a separate page. This
list must be consistent with the appropriate current individual State Equitable Distribution
plans.
Item 18. The Federal funding for Program Year 2007 for all applicants is listed in
Attachment V. Applicants should be aware that once they identify the non-federal
resources on this form that will be used to support their SCSEP project, the Employment
and Training Administration (ETA) will require them to provide those resources to
support their project. Applicants should not list resources in excess of the program’s
non-federal share requirement. If they do so, ETA will consider the full amount specified
on the SF-424 as required and will adjust the costs if the specified non-federal resources
are not provided.
1
CLARIFYING INSTRUCTIONS FOR STANDARD FORM 424-A
Section A - Budget Summary
Lines 1, Columns (a) and (b).
Under Column (a), enter “SCSEP.”
Under Column (b) on Line 1, enter “17.235”.
Line 1, Column (c) through (g). Enter in Columns (c) (Federal), and (d) (Non-Federal)
the appropriate amount of funds needed to support the project for the grant period, and in
column (g) enter the total. Leave Columns (e) and (f) blank.
Lines 2 – 4. Leave these lines blank.
Line 5. Show totals for Columns (c), (d), and (g). The non-Federal share must be no
less than 10 percent of the total cost of the project. The legislative requirement is found
in section 502(c)(1) of the OAA Amendments. The cost sharing or match requirements
for States and local governments are found in the administrative regulations, 29 CFR Part
97. The cost sharing or match requirements for nonprofit and commercial organizations
are found in the administrative regulations, 29 CFR Part 95.23. As noted with the 424
form, applicants should be aware that once they identify the non-federal resources on this
form that will be used to support their SCSEP project, ETA will require them to provide
those resources to support their project. Applicants should not list resources in excess of
the program’s non-federal share requirement. If they do so, ETA will consider the full
amount specified on the SF-424A as required and will adjust the costs if the specified
non-federal resources are not provided. Please indicate as a remark (on Line 23) the
specific source(s) and amounts (if known) of any non-Federal funds and include this
information in the detailed budget narrative.
Section B – Budget Categories
In the past, applicants were asked to identify the amount of grant funds budgeted for each
functional area by object class category; object class categories are listed in lines 6(a)
through 6(k). However, in section B of the SF - 424A applicants will no longer be asked
to identify how grant funds are budgeted by functional area, but instead to note the total
amount of funds for each object class category.
Lines 6a through 6h, Column 1. Show the estimated amount of funds (both federal and
non-federal) for each direct object class category. All costs to be incurred under
contracts or sub-grants should be reflected in line 6f (Contractual). For the purposes of
this budget, costs associated with participant wages and fringe benefits should be
categorized the following ways:
2
• When a participant has a community service employment assignment at the grantee’s
facilities and is considered an employee of the grantee, then participant wage costs
should be listed in “Personnel” and fringe benefits in “Fringe Benefits”
• When a participant has a community service employment assignment at a host agency
or sub-recipient’s facilities, but is considered an employee of the grantee, then
participant wage costs should be listed in “Personnel” and fringe benefits in “Fringe
Benefits”
• When a participant has a community service employment assignment at a host agency
or sub-recipient’s facilities, and is considered an employee of the host-agency or sub-
recipient, then participant wage and fringe benefit costs should be listed in
“Contractual”
Line 6i, Column 1. Show the total of entries made for lines 6a through 6h.
Line 6j, Column 1. Show the amount of indirect costs. If the applicant plans to expend
federal funds on indirect costs, a copy of the current indirect cost rate agreement must be
sent with the application. Applicants that do not have an in-direct cost rate, but have
more than one source of funds, are required to contact the Department of Labor’s
Division of Cost Determination to determine the process to follow to apply for an indirect
cost rate.
Line 6k, Column 1. Enter the total of the amounts indicated on lines 6i and 6j. For all
applications, the total amount in Column (1), Line 6k, should be the same as the total
amount shown in Section A, Column (g), Line 5.
Line 7. Do not enter an estimate of program income expected to be generated from this
project. Note: Income generated by SCSEP projects must be used for SCSEP activities.
Section C – Source of Non-Federal Resources
Line 8. Enter amounts of non-Federal resources that will be used in the grant; do not
break down non-Federal resources by functional area.
Column (a). Enter “SCSEP.”
Column (b). Enter the amount of cash and/or in-kind contributions to be made by
the applicant.
Column (c). Enter the State(s) contribution. This requirement does not apply to
State grantees, when the State is the applicant.
Column (d). Enter the amount of cash and/or in-kind contributions to be made
from all other sources.
Column (e). Enter totals of Columns (b), (c), and (d). The amount under Column
(e) should be equal to the amount on Line 5, Column (d), Section A.
3
Line 12. Under each column enter the same figure entered in Line (8).
Section D - Forecasted Cash Needs
Make no entries.
Section E - Budget Estimates of Federal Funds Needed for Balance of Project
Make no entries.
Section F - Other Budget Information
Line 21 - Direct Charges. In the space provided type “A Detailed Budget Narrative is
Attached.”
You must provide a Detailed Budget Narrative with the Grant Application Package. You
should prepare this and have available for inspection the basis for their estimated costs by
line item (including the detail for the "Other" line item). The cost breakout should reflect
the SF-424A so that totals match for both the form and the detailed budget narrative.
You should present information by line item and category, and you should indicate which
functional areas costs are associated with – administration, participants wages and fringe
benefits, and other participant costs. Applicants must provide detail for all line items.
The budget narrative must show costs that occur at the national and/or state and the local
level. The detailed budget narrative should also indicate the specific kinds of non-
Federal resources that will be used to meet the match requirement, such as the provision
of office space or the salaries of project staff, and the organization(s) providing them.
You may consult with the Federal Project Officer regarding the needed level of detail. In
categorizing costs and their applicability, all applicants must follow OAA 2006 Section
502(c) and the Regulations at 20 CFR Part 641 Subpart H, sections 641.847 - 641.876.
Please also see the discussion of administrative costs in the One-Stop Comprehensive
Financial Management Guide at
http://www.doleta.gov/sga/pdf/FinalTAG_August_02.pdf, pages II-5-3 to II-5-6.
Other considerations: Successful applicants are expected to attend DOL- sponsored
training and should prepare their budgets accordingly. For example, you should allocate
funds to attend the meeting for SCSEP grantees to be held in conjunction with the
Workforce Innovations conference in 2007, and could allocate funds to attend the
financial and administrative training sponsored by ETA. In addition, you must have
current computer technology and ensure that your organization has the capability to link
to the Internet. Reporting will continue to be done via the Internet.
Line 22 - Indirect Charges. Enter the type of indirect rate (provisional, predetermined,
final, or fixed) that will be in effect during the grant period, and the nature and the
4
amount of the base to which the rate is applied, and the total indirect charges. Include a
copy of your agency’s approved indirect cost rate agreement. It should cover the entire
grant period. If not, state that a new one will be provided when available.
If you not have an indirect cost rate, but have more than one source of funds, you must
contact DOL’s Division of Cost Determination to determine the process to follow to
apply for an indirect cost rate.
Line 23 – Remarks. Provide any other explanations or comments deemed necessary. We
suggest entering the words “See Attached Detailed Budget Narrative” in this section.
