Accountability Reporting for the American Recovery and
Reinvestment Act (Recovery Act) of 2009
1. Purpose. The purpose of this guidance is to issue a revised youth reporting form

4. Background. ETA requires the collection and reporting of data on eligible
persons served under the WIA, Section 166 Supplemental Youth Services
Program (SYSP) to assess the performance and delivery of services. The recent
release of additional funds under the Recovery Act is intended to serve a greater
number of youth and requires the collection and reporting of participant data to
evaluate program performance.
As with all Federal funds awarded to grant recipients, it is expected the WIA
Section 166 program will provide full transparency and accountability for
Recovery Act funds.
INA grantees will still be required to submit semi-annual and annual program
reports on all youth served by the regular SYSP (See No. 6: Frequency of
Reporting.) The INA grantees will also be required to report separately on youth served
with Recovery Act funds on a monthly basis. In the program report, INA grantees
will report aggregate counts of all Recovery Act youth participants, including
characteristics of participants, numbers of participants in summer employment,
services received, measure of work readiness (as required by the Recovery Act),
and successful completion of summer youth employment.
Three factors in the Recovery Act make it necessary to update the existing
reporting mechanism: 1) A change in eligibility increasing the age limit to 24; 2)
inclusion of the work readiness measure as a performance indicator; and 3) an
emphasis on using funds for summer employment. In addition to Recovery Act
reporting requirements, all WIA INA supplemental youth fund recipients must
submit the data required by ETA Form 9085, OMB No. 1205 – 0422. ETA Form
9085 will be updated and revised to include the supplemental Recovery Act
information, resulting in a comprehensive report for the collection of data
elements for both Recovery Act and regular WIA Section 166 youth participants
(See Attachment A). By including Recovery Act performance indicators in the
regular SYSP program report, grantees will report required information with
minimal administrative burden.
5. Changes to Youth Reporting. Changes that have been made to the SYSP Report
(ETA Form 9085) are provided below. The data elements provided below are
also highlighted in yellow on the form that is included in the attached reporting
instructions.
Changes Made to Accommodate Recovery Act Transparency Provisions
• Reporting frequency will be monthly (Recovery Act Participants’ Report only);
• Maximum age requirement for eligibility has been increased to 24 (Recovery
Act participants only);
3
• Collect information on participants in summer employment;
• Collect information on participants that exited summer employment;
• Collect information on participants that successfully completed work
readiness;
• Collect information on participants that successfully completed summer
employment;
• Collect information on the number of youth served between the ages
of 14–18, 19–21, and 22–24;
• Work readiness added as a new measure; and
• Summer employment completion rate added as an indicator.
Changes to Apply to the Regular SYSP Reporting
• Collect information on number of youth served with disabilities.
• Collect information on number of in-school youth served.
• Collect information on number of out-of-school youth served.
• Collect information on number of eligible veterans and spouses served.
6. Reporting Requirements. INA grantees have 45 days after September 30 to
submit the regular semi-annual SYSP report and 90 days after March 31 to
submit the annual report. To comply with the Recovery Act, INA grantees are
required to submit monthly Recovery Act reports by the 15th day of each month
(for the previous month). The first monthly Recovery Act report is due on
October 15, 2009, and should include all Recovery Act participants from March
19, 2009, through September 30, 2009.
7. How to Determine if an Individual Should be Counted as a Recovery Act
Participant or a “Regular” Section 166 Participant. It is the intent of Congress
that Recovery Act funds be spent concurrently with regular youth formula
funds and that there is an increase in the number of youth participants served by
the SYSP. Therefore, Recovery Act participants should be served concurrently
with regular youth program participants. Grantees will report on participants
based on the funding source used (regular SYSP or Recovery Act funding.)
Youth participants between the ages of 22-24 at eligibility must be counted as
Recovery Act participants. Grantee Directors are encouraged to coordinate with
their accounting department to determine how participants will be tracked by
funding source.
8. Mechanism for Reporting. Revised Bear Tracks youth software will be released
soon. Until the new software is available, grantees should use their existing
system to track youth participants. The on-line reporting system located at
www.etareports.doleta.gov currently used to submit regular SYSP reports will
also be used to submit the monthly Recovery Act report, except that a button will
be added for the monthly Recovery Act report.
4
Grantees that choose to use an alternative reporting system must ensure it has
the capability to capture and report required Recovery Act participant data
elements.
9. Financial Reporting for Youth Recovery Act Funds.
A. ETA Financial Report: Grantees are expected to establish separate internal
budget and account codes to distinguish between Recovery Act and regular
SYSP funds. The same on-line reporting process and ETA-9130 quarterly
financial report will be used for reporting on Recovery Act funds. The new
Recovery Act fund source is “5N0” and will appear on the list of reports in
the on-line reporting system.
B. OMB Recovery Report (otherwise known as the 1512 Recipient Report): OMB
will require all grantees that received Recovery Act funds to submit a separate
report, which will be due the 10th calendar day after the quarter, beginning
with the quarter ending September 30th.. Further guidance regarding these
reporting requirements can be found in TEGL 01-09 located at
http://wdr.doleta.gov/directives/attach/TEGL/TEGL01-09.pdf and OMB
memorandum M-09-21 located at:
http://www.whitehouse.gov/omb/assets/memoranda_fy2009/m09-21.pdf .
10. Performance Outputs and Outcomes.
A. The Recovery Act specifies “Work Readiness” as an outcome measure.
Additionally, output information will be collected as referenced in the
attached instructions. Examples of output information include:
participants in summer employment
participants that exited summer employment
participants that successfully completed work readiness
participants that successfully completed summer employment
summer employment completion rate.
B. The regular youth program will continue to provide complete,
comprehensive information as required in Form 9085.
11. Transparency and Accountability. The Recovery Act contains provisions
stressing transparency and accountability in the use of the funding provided
by the Act, including the creation of a new Web site, www.recovery.gov. The
emphasis on these provisions, along with national interest in the effect the
Recovery Act has on our nation’s economy, will translate into increased
attention to the workforce system’s implementation of the Recovery Act.
5
Consistent with the law, ETA will make the reported information publicly
available on www.recovery.gov.
12. Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) Statement. The annual public reporting
burden for the collection of information described in this TEGL is estimated
to average approximately 80 hours per grantee for the monthly, semi-annual,
and annual reports and 416 hours per grantee for recordkeeping. This TEGL
contains one major revision in the frequency of reporting, monthly reports on
Recovery Act participants.
According to the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) of 1995 (Public Law 104-
13), no persons are required to respond to a collection of information unless
such collection displays a valid OMB control number. Notwithstanding any
other provisions of law, no person shall be subject to penalty for failing to
comply with a collection of information if the collection of information does
not display a currently valid OMB control number (See 44 U.S.C. Section
3512).
13. Inquiries. Questions should be directed to your designated Federal Project
Officer.

I. GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
Workforce Investment Act (WIA) Section 166 grantees are required to submit performance
reports to the United States Department of Labor, Employment and Training Administration
(USDOL/ETA) to comply with the record keeping and reporting requirements of the
Supplemental Youth Services Program (SYSP) grant and the American Recovery and
Reinvestment Act. The reports collect socio-economic information on program participants at
the time of enrollment. They also collect achievements and outcomes that youth attained while
participating in the program.
Grantees must submit separate reports, one covering their regular SYSP participants and
another report covering participants served with Recovery Act funds. Information on each is
collected for the most recent reporting period and cumulatively from the beginning of the
report period. Note: SYSP reports will continue to be required on a semi-annual and annual
basis. However, Recovery Act participants’ interim reports will be required on a monthly basis.
The information contained on these reports will be used to determine the levels of participation,
services received, and accomplishments for each program grant. The SYSP reports will describe
participant characteristics, services, and outcomes of those served with regular SYSP funds. The
Recovery Act monthly reports will contain information for those served with Recovery Act
funds, with an emphasis on the work readiness attainment.
II. DUE DATES
The table below shows the due dates for the Section 166 SYSP reports.
SYSP Report Period Due Date
April – September (semi- November 14
annual)
April 1 – March 31 June 30
