2012 advance WIA funding and governor reserve
Summary ETA initially reduced fiscal year 2012 advance WIA Adult and Dislocated Worker allotments by 1.503 percent and clarified that the program year 2011 governor reserve was five percent. It attached state allotments and a waiver template. Change 1 later revised the funding reduction to 0.189 percent; the original figures should not be used.

SUBJECT: Revised Fiscal Year (FY) 2012 “Advance” Funding Levels Available
October 2011 for Workforce Investment Act (WIA) Programs and
Clarification on the Level of Governor’s Reserve
1. Purpose. Per recent Congressional action, this Training and Employment Guidance
Letter (TEGL) has two purposes:
a) To provide states with revised allotment levels for the WIA Adult and
Dislocated Worker Fiscal Year 2012 “advance” funds which become available
to states in October 2011. The revised levels are based on the 1.503 temporary
rate of operations reduction included in the short-term Continuing
Appropriations Acts of 2012.
b) To clarify that the Governors’ Reserve is set at five percent for all Performance
Year 2011 WIA funds.

3. Background. TEGL 26-10, issued May 10, 2011, announced Program Year (PY) 2011
WIA allotments to states. In this Change 1 TEGL, we inform states that recent
Congressional actions, contained in the two short-term Continuing Appropriations
Acts of 2012, P.L. 112-33 and P.L. 112-36, have caused the Employment and Training
Administration to adjust some of these initial figures. It should be noted that there
were no changes made to the WIA Youth Activities funds (available April 1, 2011),
nor to the “base” portion of funding for Adult and Dislocated Worker activities that
were made available July 1, 2011. However, the short-term Continuing
Appropriations Acts put into effect a temporary rate of operations reduction (1.503
percent) for the FY 2012 “advance” WIA Adult and Dislocated Worker program
funds (see sections 101 and 115 of both Acts). The revised allotment levels are listed
in the attachments to this TEGL.
Additionally, in TEGL 26-10 states were informed that Congress decreased the level
of PY 2011 base funds that Governors may reserve for statewide activities by 10
percentage points, from 15 percent to 5 percent. At that time there was some
uncertainty whether this reduction also would apply to the FY 2012 “advance”
portion of Adult and Dislocated Worker PY 2011 funding which typically becomes
available in October 2011. Pursuant to section 133 in each of the Continuing
Appropriations Acts of 2012, this TEGL clarifies that the reduction in the
Governors’ Reserve does apply to all (“base” and “advance”) PY 2011 funds.
4. Distribution of WIA Funds in PY 2011.
a) Within State Allocations of Adult and Youth Allotments. The distribution of
the PY 2011 allotments must conform with the requirement that:
1) A minimum of 95 percent of each state’s revised Adult allotment will
be allocated to local area activities; and
2) A maximum of 5 percent of each state’s revised Adult allotment may
be used for statewide activities as authorized under WIA.
b) Within State Allocations of Dislocated Worker Allotments. The distribution
of the PY 2011 allotments must conform with the requirement that:
1) A minimum of 70 percent of each state’s revised dislocated worker
allotment will be allocated to local areas;
2) A maximum of 5 percent of each state’s revised dislocated worker
allotment may be used for statewide activities as authorized under
WIA; and
3) A maximum of 25 percent of each state’s revised dislocated worker
allotment may be used for statewide rapid response activities as
authorized under WIA.
The following table summarizes this information to show the formula breakdown
for PY 2011 WIA funds:
WIA Youth WIA Adult WIA Dislocated
Worker
Statewide Maximum 5% Maximum 5% Maximum 5%
Activities
(including State
Admin)
Local Allocations Minimum 95% Minimum 95% Minimum 70%
Rapid Response - - Maximum 25%
Regarding funds set aside for statewide activities, states are authorized to reserve for
state administration no more than five percent of each of the total allotments for WIA
Youth, Adult, and Dislocated Worker programs
5. Guidance on the Funding of Statewide Activities. Over the past several months,
states have been anticipating how the reductions in the Governor’s Reserve would
impact the state’s ability to carry out required statewide workforce investment
activities as described in WIA Section 134(a)(2)(B) and 20 C.F.R. 665.200 (b)-(i).
States must continue to make investments in statewide activities central to state
management of funds such as,
operating fiscal and management accountability information systems (WIA
Section 134(a)(2)(B)(vi) and 20 C.F.R. 665.200(b)(1)),
submitting required reports (WIA Section 136(f)),
disseminating the list of eligible training providers for adults and dislocated
workers (WIA Section 134(a)(2)(B)(i) and 20 C.F.R. 665.200 (b)(1)), and youth
activities (20 C.F.R. 665.200(b)(4)), and
providing technical assistance to poor performing local areas (WIA Section
134(a)(2)(B)(iv) and 20 C.F.R 665.200(f)).
ETA is unlikely to approve a waiver of the above required activities. ETA realizes
that some states may be unable to fund all required activities due to a lack of
funding. Except for the activities listed above, States may request a waiver to exempt
them from the requirement to carry out some of the required statewide activities
described at 20 C.F.R. 665.200 (b)-(i) that would have been financed with PY 2011
funds.
In particular, ETA will approve a waiver from the requirement to:
conduct evaluations (WIA Section 134(a)(2)(B)(ii) and 20 CFR 665.200(d)),
provide incentive grants to local areas (WIA Section 134(a)(2)(B)(iii) and 20
CFR 665.200(e)), and
disseminate training provider performance and cost information (20 CFR
665.200(b)(3)).
States may use the waiver templates provided in Attachment III if they wish to
request any of the above waivers.
For other required statewide activities that states may want to waive, ETA will
review and consider waiver requests on a case-by-case basis and in the context of
each state’s unique circumstances. These requests must include a justification that
describes estimated costs to carry out the required activity for which the waiver is
needed, how statewide funds are being used, and the extent to which the funding
levels are insufficient to cover the activity. The request must also address the
anticipated impact of not funding the activity, and whether it may directly affect
WIA participant services.
States wishing to request new waivers must submit full waiver plans to ETA. The
waiver plan must include all of the required elements listed in the WIA regulations at
20 CFR 661.420(c) and discussed in TEGL 26-09. States may use a submission form
available at http://www.doleta.gov/waivers/pdf/waiver-template.doc which
provides a description of each element and submittal instructions.
6. Notice of Obligation (NOO). The Department will issue a NOO with the new FY
2012 “advance” amounts for the Adult and Dislocated Worker programs. Because
the temporary rate of operations reduction will be taken into account when the NOO
is issued, no further accounting action is required of the state.
7. Other Policies and Reporting Pertaining to PY 2011 Funds. See TEGL 26-10.
8. Inquiries. Questions regarding these allotments may be directed to the
appropriate Regional Office. Information on allotments and planning requirements
may also be found on the ETA Web site at http://www.doleta.gov.

Goals and expected programmatic outcomes of waiver
The reduction to five percent in the WIA allotment for Program Year 2011 Governor’s Reserve
funds restricts the state’s ability to effectively fund and carry out all of the required statewide
workforce investment activities. The current funding level in the Governor’s Reserve is
insufficient to cover the cost of [evaluations, incentive grants to local areas, dissemination of
training provider performance and cost information] (select applicable items). The state’s
reduced funds are being used to cover the following required activities:
(insert list)
Our goal in seeking this waiver is to ensure that the state may prioritize the use of Governor’s
Reserve funds for the required activities we deem most essential to the basic functions of the
workforce investment system.
Individuals impacted by the waiver
This waiver will provide the state agency with more flexibility in directing Governor’s Reserve
funds to those activities that best preserve basic functions of the statewide workforce
investment system.
Process for monitoring progress in implementation
The State will monitor progress and ensure accountability for Federal funds in connection with
these waivers by reviewing monthly expenditure, performance and other reports, through
regular contact with the ETA Regional Office liaisons, and through its monitoring and
performance accountability system.
Notice to affected local boards
Address how local boards affected by the waiver were notified of the request.
Public Comment
Provide a description of the proactive solicitation of public comments. At a minimum, post the
proposed waiver request to the state’s official website or in the newspaper for comment. Ideally,
develop a targeted outreach strategy to collect input and comment from all affected
stakeholders. Submit any comments or concerns collected in this manner and the outcome of
the state’s review of the public comments received.
