ADVISORY: TRAINING AND EMPLOYMENT GUIDANCE LETTER NO. 9-21
TO: STATE WORKFORCE AGENCIES
ALL STATE WORKFORCE LIAISONS
FROM: ANGELA HANKS
Acting Assistant Secretary
SUBJECT: Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) Adult, Dislocated Worker
and Youth Activities Program Allotments for Program Year (PY) 2022; PY
2022 Allotments for the Wagner-Peyser Act Employment Service (ES)
Program; and PY 2022 Allotments of Workforce Information Grants to States
1. Purpose. To provide information to states and outlying areas on WIOA Title I Adult,
Dislocated Worker and Youth Activities program allotments for PY 2022; final PY 2022
allotments for the Wagner-Peyser Act ES Program, as required by section 6(b)(5) of the
Wagner-Peyser Act, as amended; and the allotments of Workforce Information Grants to
states for PY 2022.
2. Action Requested. States must follow the requirements in this guidance to obtain the
federal funds needed to manage their programs.
3. Summary and Background.
a. Summary - This document provides grantees with guidance and information including:
• How to obtain the federal funds covered by the TEGL and financial reporting
requirements;
• The potential for reallotment of PY 2022 funds based on unobligated balances of PY
2021 funds in excess of 20 percent of their allotment at the end of PY 2021 (6/30/22);
• Requirements when calculating sub-state allocations to local areas;
• Funds set aside for evaluations and program integrity;
• Salary caps at the Executive Level II; and
• Waivers of the competition requirement for outlying areas.
b. Background - On March 15, 2022, the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2022, Pub. L.
117-103 was signed into law (from this point forward, referred to as “the Act”). The Act
makes PY 2022 Youth Activities funds available for obligation on April 1, 2022, and
funds the WIOA Adult and Dislocated Worker programs in two separate appropriations.
The first appropriations for the Adult and Dislocated Worker programs become available
RESCISSIONS EXPIRATION DATE
None Continuing
for obligation on July 1, 2022; this portion is commonly referred to as “base” funds. The
second appropriations for the Adult and Dislocated Worker programs become available
for obligation on October 1, 2022; this portion is commonly referred to as “advance”
funds because they are provided in the appropriations act passed during the fiscal year
immediately before the fiscal year when the funds are available. For example, funds for
PY 2022 that will be made available on October 1, 2022 were appropriated during FY
2022, but not made available until FY 2023, and are called the FY 2023 “advance” funds.
See Attachment A for details.
The Act, Division H, Title I, secs. 106(b) and 107, allows the Secretary of Labor
(Secretary) to set aside up to 0.5 percent of each discretionary appropriation for activities
related to program integrity and 0.75 percent of most operating funds for evaluations. For
2022, as authorized by the Act, the Department has set aside $11,489,000 of the Training
and Employment Services (TES) and $2,819,000 of the State Unemployment Insurance
and Employment Services Operations (SUIESO) appropriations impacted in this TEGL
for these activities. ETA reserved these funds from the WIOA Adult, Youth, Dislocated
Worker, Wagner-Peyser Act Employment Service, and Workforce Information Grant
program budgets. Any funds not utilized for these reserve activities will be provided to
the states.
ETA applied the reductions for evaluations and program integrity from the WIOA Adult
and Dislocated Worker programs only to the FY 2023 “advance” funding levels; “base”
funding is disseminated at the full amount appropriated in the Act.
The Act also specifies that the Secretary may reserve no more than 10 percent of the
Dislocated Worker National Reserve funds to provide technical assistance and carry out
additional activities related to the transition to WIOA. Lastly, salary caps are imposed
under the Act, Division H, Title I, sec. 105. The funds provided to grantees in these
allotments must not be used by a recipient or sub-recipient to pay the salary and bonuses
of an individual, either as direct costs or indirect costs, at a rate in excess of Executive
Level II. The rates of basic pay for the Executive Schedule are found at
https://www.opm.gov/policy-data-oversight/pay-leave/salaries-wages/.
States also may establish lower salary caps. See TEGL No. 5-06, “Implementing the
Salary and Bonus Limitations in Public Law 109-234.”
WIOA allotments for states are based on formula provisions contained in WIOA (see
Attachment B for WIOA and Wagner-Peyser Act formula descriptions). The Act waives
the competition requirement regarding funding to outlying areas (i.e., American Samoa,
Guam, Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, the Republic of Palau, and the
United States Virgin Islands). For PY 2022, outlying area grant amounts are based on the
administrative formula determined by the Secretary that was used under WIA.
WIOA specifically included the Republic of Palau as an outlying area, except during any
period for which the Secretary of Labor and the Secretary of Education determine that a
Compact of Free Association is in effect and contains provisions for training and
education assistance prohibiting the assistance provided under WIOA. No such
determinations prohibiting assistance have been made (WIOA sec. 3(45)(B)). WIOA
updated the Compact of Free Association Amendments of 2003, Pub. L. 108-188
(December 17, 2003) so that the Republic of Palau remained eligible for WIOA Title I
funding. See 48 U.S.C. 1921d(f)(1)(B)(ix). The National Defense Authorization Act for
Fiscal Year 2018, Pub. L. 115-91 (December 12, 2017), Division A, Title XII, Subtitle F,
sec. 1259C(c) authorized WIOA Title I funding to Palau through FY 2024.
In addition to this TEGL, ETA will publish the allotments and descriptions of the
allotment formulas in the https://www.federalregister.gov/.
In this Federal Register notice, ETA will invite comments on the allotment formula for
outlying areas.

Appendix I – WIOA Youth Allotment Activities
State WIOA Youth Activities Funds: Title I--Chapter 2--Youth Activities.
A. State Allotments. The appropriated level for PY 2022 for WIOA Youth Activities totals
$933,130,000. After reducing the appropriation by $3,963,000 for set asides authorized
by the Act, $929,167,000 is available for Youth Activities, which includes $13,932,627
for Native American grantees, $912,621,900 for states, and $2,287,273 for outlying areas.
The WIOA Youth formula has a section in WIOA for a reservation for Migrant and
Seasonal Farmworker (MSFW) Youth if the appropriation exceeds $925,000,000. Per
WIOA 127(a)(1), ETA reserved 4 percent ($325,200) of the excess amount for MSFW
Youth. Note that under WIOA the basis for calculating the 1/4 of one percent reserved
for outlying areas is based on the total available for Youth Activities after the MSFW
Youth and Native American reservations. The Native American reservation is calculated
on the total available for Youth Activities after the MSFW Youth reservation.
Attachment D contains a breakdown of the WIOA Youth Activities program allotments
by state for PY 2022 and provides a comparison of these allotments to PY 2021. Please
note that the Department will provide information on the Native American Youth
allotments in a separate Training and Employment Guidance Letter (TEGL).
Formula funds are allotted for PY 2022 Youth Activities among the states, in accordance
with WIOA formula requirements. For reference, the Department allots these funds to
the states based on the following data factors (summarized slightly):
1. The average number of unemployed individuals for Areas of Substantial
Unemployment (ASUs) for the 12-month period, July 2020 through June 2021, as
prepared by the states under the direction of the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), in
each state compared to the total number of unemployed individuals in ASUs in all
states;
2. The number of excess unemployed individuals or excess unemployed individuals in
ASUs (depending on which is higher) averages for the same 12-month period, July
2020 through June 2021, compared to the total excess individuals or ASU excess in all
states; and
3. The number of disadvantaged youth (age 16 to 21, excluding college students not in
the workforce and military) from special tabulations of data from the American
Community Survey (ACS) in each state compared to the total number of
disadvantaged youth in all states. The Census Bureau collected the data used in the
special tabulations for disadvantaged youth between January 1, 2011 and December
31, 2015.
Since the total amount available for states in PY 2022 is below the required $1 billion
threshold specified in WIOA sec. 127(b)(1)(C)(iv)(IV), which was also the case in PY
2021, the Department did not apply the WIOA additional minimum provisions (see
Attachment B). Instead, the minimums of 90 percent of the prior year allotment
Appendix I -1-
percentage and 0.25 percent state minimum floor apply, as required by WIOA. WIOA
also maintains that no state may receive an allotment that is more than 130 percent of the
allotment percentage for the state for the previous year.
B. PY 2022 Funding WIOA Agreement/Notice of Award (NOAs). Youth program funds
are available to states to use once the PY 2022 WIOA Annual Funding Agreement/NOA
is complete.
C. Sub-State Allocations. States must distribute WIOA Youth Activities funds among local
workforce areas (subject to reservation of the 15 percent limitation for statewide
workforce employment and training activities) in keeping with the provisions of WIOA
sec. 128 and their approved Unified or Combined WIOA State Plan. In allocating Youth
Activities funds to local areas for PY 2022, states may use either the allocation formula
described in WIOA sec.128(b)(2) or the discretionary allocation formula in WIOA sec.
128(b)(3), and ensure the state policy articulated in the approved State Plan remains
consistent with this guidance. Consistent with sec. 182(e) of WIOA, sub-state allocations
must be made available to local areas not later than 30 days after the date funds are made
available to the state or 7 days after the date the local plan for the area is approved,
whichever is later. See Attachment C for a description of sub-state allocation formulas.
1. Allocation Formula. Thirty-three and 1/3 percent of the total funds available for local
allocations are allocated based on each local area’s relative share of each data factor
listed below.
a. The relative number of unemployed individuals in Areas of Substantial
Unemployment (ASUs) in each local area, compared to the total number of
unemployed individuals in ASUs in all local areas in the state. For this factor,
the timeframe for comparison is the 12-month period, July 2020 to June 2021.
b. The relative excess number of unemployed individuals in each local area,
compared to the total excess number of unemployed individuals in all local
areas in the state. See the definition of “excess number” below which requires
a comparison of the excess unemployed in ASUs with excess unemployed in
all areas. For this factor, the timeframe for comparison is the 12-month
period, July 2020 to June 2021.
c. The relative number of disadvantaged youth (age 16 to 21, excluding college
students not in the workforce and military), in each local area, compared to
the total number of disadvantaged youth in all local areas in the state. The
number of disadvantaged youth comes from special tabulations of data from
the ACS prepared in accordance with the definition provided in WIOA. The
Census Bureau collected this data between January 1, 2011 and December 31,
2015.
Appendix I -2-
For purposes of identifying ASUs for the Youth Activities sub-state allocation
formula, states must use data made available by BLS (as described in Local Area
Unemployment Statistics (LAUS) Technical Memorandum No. S-21-12).
The term “excess number” means, used with respect to the excess number of
unemployed individuals within a local area, the higher of (i) the number that
represents the number of unemployed individuals in excess of 4.5 percent of the
civilian labor force in the local area; or (ii) the number that represents the number of
unemployed individuals in excess of 4.5 percent of the civilian labor force in ASUs in
such local area.
In order to determine the number of disadvantaged youth for the sub-state Youth
formula, states must use the special tabulations of ACS data available at
https://www.dol.gov/agencies/eta/budget/formula/disadvantagedyouthadults.
ETA obtained updated data for use in PY 2018 and the same data must be used in PY
2022. See TEGL No. 14-17 for further information.
States must utilize a minimum percentage (or stop loss) to ensure that no local area
receives an allocation percentage that is less than 90 percent of the average allocation
percentage received by the local area for the previous two years. An allocation
percentage is the local area’s share or percentage of funds allocated to all local areas.
States must not use 90 percent of the average amount allocated to the local area for
the last two years. States must obtain amounts necessary to increase allocations to
local areas to comply with the minimum percentage requirement by proportionately
reducing the allocations to be made to other local areas.
States must not use a maximum percentage (or stop gain).
2. Discretionary Formula. Alternatively, a state may use a discretionary formula. When
using a discretionary formula, a state distributes a portion that is at least 70 percent of
the funds according to the allocation formula described in subparagraph C.1 of this
Appendix, and the remainder on the basis of a formula that incorporates additional
factors relating to:
a. excess youth poverty in urban, rural, and suburban areas; and
b. excess unemployment above the state average in urban, rural, and suburban
local areas.
Of the portion of funds distributed according to the allocation formula described in
subparagraph C.1, a state must not assign unequal percentages to the ASU, excess
unemployment, and disadvantaged data factors. These three data factors carry equal
weights and must not total less than 70 percent of the formula.
Of the remainder, states may determine the percentage to allocate to data factors
reflecting excess youth poverty and excess unemployment above the state average.
Appendix I -3-
States also have flexibility in choosing what data they want to use related to youth
poverty and excess unemployment above the state average. States may not reuse the
allocation formula data factors (ASU, excess unemployment, and disadvantaged
youth) to distribute the remainder. Using data factors such as high school dropout
rate may be an acceptable reflection of youth poverty, but the state must articulate
how such factors relate to youth poverty in the State Plan.
For the portion of funds distributed according to the allocation formula (which
represent at least 70 percent of the distributed funds), the state must employ the
minimum percentage (or stop loss), as described in subparagraph C.1 on the
allocation formula. The state may choose whether to apply the minimum percentage
to the remainder portion of funds that the state distributes according to the
discretionary formula (which represent not more than 30 percent of the distributed
funds).
The State Board must develop the discretionary formula, and the Secretary must
approve it as part of the State Plan.
D. Transfer of Funds. Local workforce areas do not have the authority to transfer funds to or
from the Youth Activities program.
E. Re-allotment of Funds. WIOA sec. 127(c) requires the Secretary of Labor to recapture
and reallot Youth Activities program formula funds based on state obligation levels at the
end of the first program year of use (ETA reallots in accordance with 20 CFR 683.135).
PY 2021 funds are only available for Federal obligation until the end of the program year,
and so the Secretary does not have authority to reobligate PY 2021 funds after the first
program year. Therefore, any reallotment of funds requires the use of PY 2022 funds. In
other words, recapture and reallotment of PY 2022 funds is based on obligation levels of
PY 2021 funds at the end of PY 2021.
1. The obligation threshold a state must meet to avoid recapture under WIOA sec.
127(c)(2) is 80 percent. The term obligation is defined at 2 CFR 200.71. The funds
that a state allocates to a local area are state obligations. WIOA requires states to
allocate at least 85 percent of Youth Activities funds to local areas. Therefore, by
making the required local allocations, the state has obligated more than 80 percent of
its PY 2021 funds and no further action is required regarding reallotment of PY 2022
funds.
2. States report the aggregate amount of allocations to the local areas on the Local
Youth ETA 9130 (B) financial reports, along with obligations by local areas of those
funds.
F. Small State Minimum Allotment States. WIOA sec. 129(a)(4)(B) allows a state that
receives a small state minimum allotment under WIOA sec. 127(b)(1) (relating to the
youth formula program) or 132(b)(1) (relating to the adult formula program) to submit a
Appendix I -4-
request for approval to the Department to decrease the percentage of funds spent on out-
of-school youth (OSY) to not less than 50 percent in a local area. To determine if a state
receives a small state minimum allotment, review the PY 2022 columns in Attachments
D and E. States that meet the criteria for PY 2022 as a minimum allotment state are those
states that receive a PY 2022 WIOA Youth allotment of $2,281,555 or receive a PY 2022
WIOA Adult allotment of $2,163,640. If a state wishes to submit a small state OSY
exception request, they must submit the request for PY 2022 by September 30, 2022.
The request must be submitted to the appropriate ETA Regional Administrator and
contain the required justification outlined in the WIOA final rule at 20 CFR 681.410(b).
Appendix I -5-
Appendix II – WIOA Adult Allotment Activities
State Adult Employment and Training Activities Funds: Title I--Chapter 3--Adult and
Dislocated Worker Employment and Training Activities.
A. State Allotments. The total appropriated funds for Adult Activities in PY 2022 is
$870,649,000. After reducing the appropriated amount by $3,024,000 for set asides
authorized by the Act, $867,625,000 remains for Adult Activities, of which $865,455,937
is for states and $2,169,063 is for outlying areas. Attachment E shows the PY 2022
Adult Employment and Training Activities allotments and a state-by-state comparison of
the PY 2022 allotments to PY 2021 allotments.
The three formula data factors that the Department uses to distribute WIOA Adult
Activities funds among the states are the same as those used for the Youth Activities
formula, except that data is used for the number of disadvantaged adults (age 22 to 72,
excluding college students not in the workforce and military), rather than the number of
disadvantaged youth. Since the total amount available for the Adult Activities program
for states in PY 2022 is below the required $960 million threshold specified in WIOA
sec. 132(b)(1)(B)(iv)(IV), as was also the case in PY 2021, the WIOA additional
minimum provisions (See Attachment B) are not applicable. Instead, as required by
WIOA, the minimums of 90 percent of the prior year allotment percentage and 0.25
percent state minimum floor apply. Like for the Youth program, WIOA also provides
that no state may receive an allotment that is more than 130 percent of the previous year
allotment percentage for the state.
B. PY 2022 Funding WIOA Agreement/NOAs. For PY 2022, Congress appropriated funds
for this program in two portions: $158,649,000 is available for obligation on July 1, 2022
(PY 2022), and $712,000,000 is available for obligation on October 1, 2022 (FY 2023).
After reductions associated with evaluations and program integrity, the amount available
for Adult Activities on July 1, 2022 (PY 2022) is $158,649,000, and on October 1, 2022
is $708,976,000. The Department prorated allotments to states and outlying areas based
on these total amounts and will issue two NOAs (subject to the state submitting an
approved State Plan under secs. 102 or 103 of WIOA). The first NOA covers the period
starting July 1, 2022, under the PY 2022 WIOA grant agreement, and the other for
October 1, 2022, also under the PY 2022 WIOA grant agreement (see Attachment F).
C. Sub-State Allocations. States must distribute WIOA Adult Activities funds for PY 2022
allotments among local workforce areas (subject to reservation of the 15 percent
limitation for statewide employment and training activities) in accordance with the
provisions in WIOA section 133 and the approved State Plan. States must calculate the
up to 15 percent available for statewide activities on the total allotment for PY 2022. In
allocating WIOA Adult funds to local areas for PY 2022, states may use either the
allocation formula described in WIOA sec. 133(b)(2)(A) or the discretionary allocation
Appendix II -1-
formula in WIOA sec. 133(b)(3). Also, states must ensure the state policy articulated in
the approved State Plan remains consistent with this guidance. See Attachment C for a
description of sub-state allocation formulas.
1. Allocation Formula. Thirty-three and 1/3 percent of the total funds available for local
allocations are allocated based on each local area’s relative share of each data factor
listed below.
1. The relative number of unemployed individuals in ASUs in each local area,
compared to the total number of unemployed individuals in ASUs in all local
areas in the state. For this factor, the timeframe for comparison is the 12-
month period, July 2020 to June 2021.
2. The relative excess number of unemployed individuals in each local area,
compared to the total excess number of unemployed individuals in all local
areas in the state. See the definition of “excess number” below which requires
a comparison of the excess unemployed in ASUs with excess unemployed in
all areas. For this factor, the timeframe for comparison is the 12-month
period, July 2020 to June 2021.
3. The relative number of disadvantaged adults (age 22 to 72, excluding college
students not in the workforce and military) in each local area, compared to the
total number of disadvantaged adults in all local areas in the state. The
Census Bureau collected the data used in the special tabulations for
disadvantaged adults between January 1, 2011 and December 31, 2015.
For purposes of identifying ASUs for the Adult Activities sub-state allocation
formula, states should use data made available by BLS (as described in LAUS
Technical Memorandum No. S-21-12).
The term “excess number” means, used with respect to the excess number of
unemployed individuals within a local area, the higher of (i) the number that
represents the number of unemployed individuals in excess of 4.5 percent of the
civilian labor force in the local area; or (ii) the number that represents the number of
unemployed individuals in excess of 4.5 percent of the civilian labor force in ASUs in
such local area.
In order to determine the number of disadvantaged adults for the sub-state Adult
formula, states must use the special tabulations of ACS data available at
https://www.dol.gov/agencies/eta/budget/formula/disadvantagedyouthadults.
ETA obtained updated data for use in PY 2018 and the same data must be used in PY
2022. See TEGL No. 14-17 for further information.
States must utilize a minimum percentage (or stop loss) to ensure that no local area
receives an allocation percentage that is less than 90 percent of the average allocation
Appendix II -2-
percentage of the local area for the previous two years. An allocation percentage is
the local area’s share or percentage of funds allocated to all local areas. States must
not use 90 percent of the average amount allocated to the local area for the last two
years. States must obtain amounts necessary to increase allocations to local areas to
comply with the minimum percentage requirement by proportionately reducing the
allocations to be made to other local areas.
States must not use a maximum percentage (or stop gain).
In accordance with sec. 182(e) of WIOA, states must make sub-state allocations
available to local areas not later than 30 days after the date funds are made available
to the state, or 7 days after the date the local plan for the area is approved, whichever
is later.
2. Discretionary Formula. Alternatively, a state may use a discretionary formula. When
using a discretionary formula, a state distributes a portion that is at least 70 percent of
the funds according to the allocation formula described in subparagraph C.1 of this
Appendix, and the remainder on the basis of a formula that incorporates additional
factors related to:
1. excess poverty in urban, rural, and suburban areas, and
2. excess unemployment above the state average in urban, rural, and suburban
local areas.
Of the portion of funds distributed according to the allocation formula described in
subparagraph C.1, a state must not assign unequal percentages to the ASU, excess
unemployment, and disadvantaged data factors. These three data factors carry equal
weights and must total at least 70 percent of the formula.
Of the remainder, states may determine the percentage to allocate to data factors
reflecting excess poverty and excess unemployment above the state average.
States also have flexibility in choosing the data they want to use related to poverty
and excess unemployment above the state average. States may not reuse the
allocation formula data factors (ASU, excess unemployment, and disadvantaged
adults) to distribute the remainder. Using data factors not directly describing poverty
or excess unemployment may be acceptable, but the state must articulate how such
factors relate to the statutory requirements in the State Plan.
The discretionary formula must also employ a minimum percentage, as described in
subparagraph C.1 on the allocation formula. The minimum percentage may be
applied to the 70 percent (or greater) portion or to the entire allocation.
The State Board must develop the discretionary formula, and the Secretary must
approve it as part of the State Plan.

D. Transfers of Funds. WIOA sec. 133(b)(4) provides the authority for local workforce
areas, with approval of the Governor, to transfer up to 100 percent of the Adult Activities
funds for expenditure on Dislocated Worker Activities, and up to 100 percent of
Dislocated Worker Activities funds for expenditure on Adult Activities.
E. Re-allotment of Funds. WIOA sec. 132(c) requires the Secretary of Labor to recapture
and reallot Adult Activities program formula funds based on state obligation levels at the
end of the first program year of use (ETA reallots in accordance with 20 CFR 683.135).
PY 2021 funds are only available for Federal obligation until the end of the program year,
and so the Secretary does not have authority to re-obligate PY 2021 funds after the first
program year. Therefore, any re-allotment of funds requires the use of PY 2022 funds.
In other words, re-allotment of PY 2022 funds is based on obligation levels of PY 2021
funds at the end of PY 2021.
1. The obligation threshold a State must meet to avoid recapture under WIOA sec.
132(c)(2) is 80 percent. The term obligation is defined at 2 CFR 200.71. The funds
that a state allocates to a local area are state obligations. WIOA requires states to
allocate at least 85 percent of Adult Activities funds to local areas. Therefore, by
making the required local allocations, the state has obligated more than 80 percent of
its PY 2021 funds and no further action is required regarding re-allotment of PY 2022
funds.
2. States report aggregate allocations to the local areas on the Local Adult ETA 9130
(D) financial reports, along with obligations by local areas of those funds.
Appendix II -4-
Appendix III – WIOA Dislocated Worker Allotment Activities
State Dislocated Worker Employment and Training Funds: Title I--Chapter 3--Adult and
Dislocated Worker Employment and Training Activities.
The amount appropriated for Dislocated Worker Activities in PY 2022 totals $1,376,412,000.
The total appropriation includes formula funds for the states, while the National Reserve is used
for National Dislocated Worker Grants, technical assistance and training, demonstration projects,
Workforce Opportunity for Rural Communities, Community College Grants, and the outlying
areas’ Dislocated Worker allotments. After reducing the appropriated amount by $4,502,000 for
set asides authorized by the Act, a total of $1,371,910,000 remains available for Dislocated
Worker Activities. The amount available for outlying areas is $3,429,775, leaving $296,579,225
for the National Reserve and a total of $1,071,901,000 available for states.
A. State Allotments. Attachment G shows the PY 2022 Dislocated Worker Activities
allotments and a state-by-state comparison of the PY 2022 allotments to PY 2021
allotments.
WIOA prescribes different data factors for the federal allotment of Dislocated Worker
funds by the Department to the states, and for the sub-state allocation of Dislocated
Worker funds by the Governor within a state. The Department has allotted the PY 2022
Dislocated Worker program state allotments among the states in accordance with the
factors required by WIOA. For reference, the three data factors that the Department
considers in allocating these funds to the states are (summarized slightly):
1. The relative number of unemployed individuals in each state, compared to the total
number of unemployed individuals in all states. For this factor, the timeframe for
comparison is the 12-month period, October 2020 through September 2021.
2. The relative number of excess unemployed individuals in each state, compared to the
total excess number of unemployed individuals in all states. For this factor, the
timeframe for comparison is the 12-month period, October 2020 through September
2021. No comparison to ASU excess is performed for this data factor.
3. The relative number of individuals in each state who have been unemployed for 15
weeks or more, compared to the total number of individuals in all states who have
been unemployed for 15 weeks or more. For this factor, the timeframe for
comparison is the 12-month period, October 2020 through September 2021.
WIOA sec. 132(b)(2)(B)(iii)(I) requires the Dislocated Worker formula to adopt a 90
percent minimum of the prior year allotment percentage (stop loss). WIOA also provides
that no state may receive an allotment that is more than 130 percent of the allotment
percentage for the state for the previous year (stop gain) under section
132(b)(2)(B)(iii)(II).
Appendix III -1-
B. PY 2022 Funding WIOA Agreement/NOAs. For PY 2022, Congress appropriated funds
for this program in two portions for both formula funds and National Reserve funds. For
state formula funds, $215,553,000 is available for obligation on July 1, 2022 (PY 2022),
and $860,000,000 is available for obligation on October 1, 2022 (FY 2023). For the
National Reserve, which includes funds for the outlying areas, $100,859,000 is available
for obligation on July 1, 2022 (PY 2022), and $200,000,000 is available for obligation on
October 1, 2022 (FY 2023). After reductions associated with evaluations and program
integrity, the amount available for state formula funds on July 1, 2022 is $215,553,000
and on October 1, 2022 is $856,348,000. For the National Reserve, the amount available
on July 1, 2022 is $100,859,000 and on October 1, 2022 is $199,150,000. Allotments to
states and outlying areas are prorated based on the two amounts for formula funds and
National Reserve, respectively. ETA will issue allotments in two NOAs: one for July 1,
2022, under the PY 2022 WIOA grant agreement, and the other for October 1, 2022, also
under the PY 2022 WIOA grant agreement (see Attachment H).
C. Sub-State Allocations. States will distribute Dislocated Worker Activities funds for PY
2022 among local workforce areas (subject to the Governor’s reservation of up to 25
percent for statewide Rapid Response activities under WIOA sec. 133(a)(2) and the 15
percent limitation for statewide employment and training activities), in accordance with
the provisions in WIOA section 133 and the approved State Plan. States must calculate
up to 15 percent for statewide activities on the total allotment for PY 2022.
In allocating WIOA Dislocated Worker funds to local areas for PY 2022, states must
ensure the state policy articulated in the approved State Plan remains consistent with this
guidance. See Attachment C for a description of sub-state allocation formulas.
Governors continue to prescribe the Dislocated Worker formula for sub-state allocations.
Under WIOA, the data factors that must be included are:
• insured unemployment data,
• unemployment concentrations,
• plant closing and mass layoff data,
• declining industries data,
• farmer-rancher economic hardship data, and
• long-term unemployment data.
A state may assign zero weight to a factor only where the state is able to demonstrate it
does not have an appropriate data source to accurately reflect state needs for a given data
factor. For example, the Bureau of Labor Statistics no longer produces the plant closing
and mass layoff data, one of the six data factors WIOA requires. ETA recognizes that an
accurate source of such data is no longer available at the national level. Some states have
sub-state administrative data available and others do not. In order to assign a weight of
zero to a data factor, such as the plant closing and mass layoff data factor, the state must
include the following information in their State Plan:
Appendix III -2-
• An inventory of available national or state-level data sources germane to the data
factor.
• A discussion of why the available data sources are inadequate for the purposes of
assigning a weight to a given data factor; and
• A description of how the Governor’s formula is appropriate to distribute funds
equitably throughout the state.
(Note that weighting a data factor at zero percent is not allowable under any other
circumstance.)
WIOA requires the use of a minimum percentage (or stop loss) (see WIOA sec.
133(b)(2)(B)(iii)). A local workforce area must receive an allocation percentage that is
no less than 90 percent of the average allocation percentage of the local area for the two
preceding years. In the event of a shortage of funds, states must obtain the amounts
necessary to increase the allocations to local areas to comply with this provision by
proportionately reducing the allocations to other local areas. The minimum percentage
methodology states use for Dislocated Worker funds is the same minimum percentage
methodology used in the sub-state Youth and Adult allocation formulas. States are not
required to use a maximum percentage (or stop gain), but may use one if desired.
D. Transfers of Funds. WIOA sec. 133(b)(4) provides the authority for local workforce
areas, with approval of the Governor, to transfer up to 100 percent of the Dislocated
Worker Activities funds for expenditure on Adult Activities, and up to 100 percent of
Adult Activities funds for expenditure on Dislocated Worker Activities.
E. Re-allotment of Funds. WIOA sec. 132(c) requires the Secretary of Labor to recapture
and reallot Dislocated Worker program formula funds based on state obligation levels at
the end of the first program year of use (ETA reallots in accordance with 20 CFR
683.135). PY 2021 funds are only available for Federal obligation until the end of the
program year, and so the Secretary does not have authority to re-obligate PY 2021 funds
after the first program year. Therefore, any re-allotment of funds requires the use of PY
2022 funds. In other words, the Department will reallot PY 2022 Dislocated Worker
formula funds among states during PY 2022 based on state obligations of PY 2021 funds
made during PY 2021. Likewise, obligation of PY 2022 funds will impact recapture and
reallotment of PY 2023 funding.
1. WIOA sec. 134(a)(2)(A)(ii) gives states the flexibility to use PY 2021 Rapid
Response funds that are not obligated by the end of PY 2021 for statewide activities.
Per WIOA sec. 132(c), states must still obligate 80 percent of their PY 2021
Dislocated Worker program formula funds, which includes Rapid Response funds, by
June 30, 2022 or potentially have PY 2022 funds recaptured and re-allotted to states
who have obligated 80 percent of their PY 2021 funds.
Appendix III -3-
2. The term obligation is defined at 2 CFR 200.71. The funds a state allocates to local
areas are state obligations. States report aggregate allocations to the local areas on
the Local Dislocated Worker ETA 9130 (F) financial reports, along with obligations
by local areas of those funds.
Appendix III -4-
Appendix IV – Wagner-Peyser Act ES Allotment Activities
Wagner-Peyser Act ES Final Allotments. The appropriated level for PY 2022 for grants for
the ES programs totals was $675,052,000. After reducing the appropriated amount by
$2,775,000 for set asides authorized by the Act, $672,277,000 is available for ES programs.
After determining the funding for Guam and the United States Virgin Islands, ETA calculates
allotments to states using the formula set forth at section 6 of the Wagner-Peyser Act (29 U.S.C.
49e). ETA based PY 2022 formula allotments on each state’s share of calendar year 2021
monthly averages of the Civilian Labor Force (CLF) and unemployment. The distribution of
Wagner-Peyser Act funds for PY 2022 includes $670,638,223 for states, as well as $1,638,777
for Guam and the United States Virgin Islands. Attachment I shows the distribution of PY 2022
ES formula amounts by state compared to PY 2021.
Section 7(a) of the Wagner-Peyser Act (49 U.S.C. § 49f(a)) authorizes states to use 90 percent of
the funds allotted to a state for labor exchange services, and other career services such as job
search and placement services to job seekers; appropriate recruitment services for employers;
program evaluations; developing and providing labor market and occupational information;
developing management information systems; and administering the work test for unemployment
insurance claimants.
Section 7(b) of the Wagner-Peyser Act (49 U.S.C. § 49f(b)), states that 10 percent of the funds
allotted to a state must be reserved for use by the Governor to provide performance incentives for
public employment service offices and programs, provide services for groups with special needs,
and provide for the extra costs of exemplary models for delivering services of the type described
in section 7(a) and models for enhancing professional development and career advancement
opportunities of state agency staff.
Appendix IV -1-
Appendix V – Workforce Information Grants Allotment Activities
Workforce Information Grants (WIGs). Total funds for PY 2022 are $32,000,000. After
reducing the total by $44,000 for program integrity, $31,956,000 is available for Workforce
Information Grants. Funds are distributed to states by administrative formula with $176,694 for
Guam and the United States Virgin Islands. Guam and the United States Virgin Islands
allotment amounts are partially based on CLF data from the BLS Current Population Study. The
remaining funds are distributed to the states with 40 percent distributed equally to all states, and
60 percent distributed based on each state’s share of the CLF for the 12 months ending
September 2021. Attachment J contains the allotment amounts. Activities to be performed with
money from WIGS will be described in a TEGL published later this year.
Appendix V -1-
Appendix VI – Submission Requirements and Reporting
1. Submission Requirements. In order to achieve greater efficiency and as part of ETA’s
ongoing effort to streamline the mandatory grant award process, all states and outlying areas
are required to submit an electronically signed copy of an SF- 424, Application for Federal
Assistance, through Grants.gov for each WIOA funding stream under Funding Opportunity
Numbers (henceforth, in this appendix, references to “states” shall be read to include outlying
areas):
• ETA-TEGL-9-21-YOUTH [CFDA 17.259]
• ETA-TEGL-9-21-ADULT [CFDA 17.258]
• ETA-TEGL-9-21-DW [CFDA 17.278]
An electronically submitted SF-424 through Grants.gov constitutes an official signed
document and must reflect the amount for each WIOA funding stream (Youth, Adult, and
Dislocated Worker). The closing date for receipt of each SF-424 is 30 days from the issue
date of this TEGL.
The PY 2022 “base” allotment of WIOA Adult and Dislocated Worker funds will be awarded
during the period of availability beginning July 2022. The FY 2023 “advance” allotment will
be awarded in the period of availability starting October 2022. A copy of the executed PY
2022 WIOA Agreement will be available upon award of funds.
In addition, all states must submit an electronically signed SF-424, Application for Federal
Assistance, through Grants.gov for each Wagner-Peyser Act Employment Service (ES)
program under Funding Opportunity Numbers:
• ETA-TEGL-9-21-ES [CFDA 17.207]
• ETA-TEGL-9-21-WIG [CFDA 17.207]
States must follow the instructions in this TEGL to receive Workforce Information Grants to States
(WIGS) funding, including submission of SF-424s. Note that WIGS have specific grant
deliverable requirements not outlined in this document. A forthcoming TEGL will list these grant
deliverable requirements.
An electronically submitted SF-424 through Grants.gov constitutes an official signed
document and must reflect the amount for each ES program and WIGS. The closing date for
receipt of each ES program SF-424 is 30 days from the issue date of this TEGL. ETA will
award the ES program and WIGS funds in July 2022. A copy of the executed PY 2022 ES
Agreement will be available upon award of funds.
2. Grants.gov Submission Process. States must submit the SF-424, Application for Federal
Assistance, through Grants.gov. States needing to register with Grants.gov may do so here:
https://www.grants.gov/web/grants/grantors/grantor-registration.html
Registration is a one-time process, and states that already have a Grants.gov account do not
need to register again.
Appendix VI -1-
To submit the required SF-424s, states must:
• Select the SEARCH GRANTS tab on the Grants.gov homepage.
• Under the section, BASIC SEARCH CRITERIA, states enter the Funding Opportunity
Number referenced above in Section 1 of this appendix for each WIOA funding stream
(i.e. “ETA-TEGL”).
• Select the link to the applicable Opportunity Number provided in the search results.
• Select the PACKAGE tab.
• Under the ACTIONS column, select APPLY.
Submitting the SF-424 through Grants.gov constitutes an electronically signed SF-424,
Application for Federal Assistance. For each funding stream, the Estimated Funding section
of the SF-424 (item #18) must reflect the exact amount of the designated state allotment,
referenced in the attachments to this TEGL. Additionally, Item #11 of the SF-424 must
include the Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance Number (CFDA) for the applicable
WIOA funding stream, which is referenced above in Section 1. Also, Item #18e of the SF-
424 must indicate the amount of Indirect Costs claimed by the recipient, if any.
This submission process can be complicated and time-consuming. As such, the Department
strongly encourages states to initiate the process as soon as possible, in order to allow time to
resolve unanticipated technical problems.
Submission requirements stipulate that all applicants for Federal grant and funding
opportunities must have a Data Universal Numbering System (D-U-N-S®) number, and must
supply their D-U-N-S® number on the SF-424. Starting on or near April 4, 2022, the DUNS
Number will be replaced by a new, non-proprietary identifier requested in and assigned by
SAM.gov. This new identifier is being called the Unique Entity Identifier (UEI), or the Entity
ID. To learn more about SAM’s rollout of the UEI, please visit the U.S. General Service
Administration (GSA), Unique Entity Identifier Update webpage.
Before submitting, states must also ensure its registration with the System for Award
Management (SAM) is current. (SAM replaced the Central Contractor Registry.) States can
find instructions for registering with SAM at https://sam.gov/content/entity-registration.
An awardee must maintain an active SAM registration with current information at all times
during which it has an active Federal award or an application under consideration. To remain
registered in the SAM database after the initial registration, states must review and update the
registration at least every 12 months from the date of initial registration. Failure to register
with SAM and maintain an active account will result in Grants.gov rejecting your submission.
For technical issues encountered during application submission, states may call 800-518-4726
or 606-545-5035 to speak to a Customer Support Representative, or email the email address
found in https://www.grants.gov/web/grants/support.html.
The Contact Center is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week, but closes on federal holidays.
States should e-mail all submission questions to Janice Sheelor, Grants Management
Specialist, at [email protected]
Appendix VI -2-
The email must reference the specific Funding Opportunity Number, and include a contact
name, email address, and phone number.
3. Reporting. For the WIOA formula programs, states are required to submit the seven
designated WIOA quarterly financial status reports covering funds received for each of the
programs (including separate reports for each of the fund year periods for the Adult and
Dislocated Worker Activities programs, July 1 funds and October 1 funds). These seven
WIOA quarterly financial reports cover financial data for statewide Youth, statewide Adult,
statewide Dislocated Worker, statewide Rapid Response (Dislocated Worker activities), local
Youth, local Adult, and local Dislocated Worker activities. The Department also requires
states to submit the designated financial reports each quarter for the ES program funds and the
WIGS funds.
Please refer to published ETA guidance and instructions on the ETA Advisory publication
page (https://wdr.doleta.gov/directives/).
4. Grant Award Descriptions.
WIOA Adult and Dislocated Worker programs
Purpose: The purpose of the WIOA Adult and Dislocated Worker grants is to serve
individuals and help employers meet their workforce needs. The WIOA Adult program
enables workers to obtain good jobs by providing them with job search assistance and training
opportunities. The WIOA DW program aims to help dislocated workers get back to work as
quickly as possible and overcome barriers to employment. When individuals become
dislocated workers as a result of job loss, mass layoffs, global trade dynamics or transitions in
economic sectors, the Dislocated Worker program provides services to assist them in re-
entering the workforce.
Activities to be performed: WIOA specifies that most services for Adult and Dislocated
Workers will be provided through the American Job Center network, also known as one-stop
career centers. Under both programs, eligible individuals will receive career services, which
are classified into two categories: basic and individualized services. While some job seekers
may only need self-service or other basic career services such as labor exchange services,
others may need more comprehensive services, such as individualized services, which include
career planning, and developing an individual employment plan outlining needs and goals of
the job seeker. Participants will also receive training services linked to job opportunities in
their communities. To promote customer choice and involvement in career decisions,
participants use an Individual Training Account to select an appropriate training program
from an eligible training provider list. WIOA also authorizes the provision of supportive
services (e.g. transportation and child care assistance) to enable an individual to participate in
the program.
Expected Outcomes: The WIOA Adult and Dislocated Worker program outcomes are to
ensure that individuals can access and receive the training services they are eligible for, so that
they may overcome barriers to employment and reenter the workforce systems quickly as
possible.
Appendix VI -3-
Intended beneficiaries: WIOA Adult funds must give priority to recipients of public
assistance, other low-income individuals, and individuals who are basic skills deficient. Other
categories include unemployed adults, dislocated workers, veterans, individuals with barriers
to employment, and any eligible population.
Subrecipient Activities: The grantees may subaward funds from these programs to provide
some of the individualized career services, training, as well as provide supportive services.
WIOA Youth program
Purpose: The purpose of the WIOA Youth grants is to provide resources for local workforce
development areas to deliver comprehensive youth services that focus on assisting out-of-
school youth and in-school youth, with one or more barriers to employment, prepare for
employment and postsecondary education opportunities; attain educational and/or skills
training credentials; and secure employment with career/promotional opportunities.
Activities to be performed: WIOA specifies that states provide resources for local workforce
development areas to administer youth services. Local workforce development areas deliver
comprehensive youth services to out-of-school youth and in-school youth. Training services
include: tutoring; alternative secondary school services; paid and unpaid work experiences,
which include: summer and year round employment opportunities, pre-apprenticeship
programs, internships and job shadowing, and on-the-job training; occupational skill training;
education offered concurrently with workforce preparation and training; leadership
development opportunities; supportive services; mentoring; follow-up services;
comprehensive guidance and counseling; financial literacy education; entrepreneurial skills
training; services that provide labor market and employment information; and postsecondary
education and training preparation activities.
Expected Outcomes: The WIOA Youth program outcomes are to provide activities that lead
to the attainment of a secondary school diploma or recognized post-secondary credential
and/or employment.
Intended beneficiaries: Youth, between the ages of 14 and 24, with one or more of the
following characteristics: low-income; basic skills deficient; English language learner; justice
system involvement; homeless; runaway; in foster care; pregnant or parenting; individual with
a disability; or who requires additional assistance to complete an educational program.
Subrecipient Activities: Local workforce development agencies deliver comprehensive
services to out-of-school and in-school youth to prepare them for postsecondary education and
employment. Some of the types of service activities may include but are not limited to:
tutoring; paid and unpaid work experiences, occupational skill training, follow-up services;
and comprehensive guidance and counseling, and supportive services.
Wagner-Peyser Act Employment Service (ES)
Purpose: The purpose of the ES program is to bring together individuals looking for
employment and employers looking for job seekers. The program does this by providing a
variety of services, which are available to all individuals. The program provides job seekers
with career services, including labor exchange services, job search assistance, workforce
information, referrals to employment, and other assistance. Employers can use the ES to post
job orders and obtain qualified applicants.
Appendix VI -4-
Activities to be performed: The ES is a universal access program that provides services to
all individuals who need services. Allowable services include assessments of career interests,
career guidance when appropriate, job search workshops, and referral to jobs or training as
appropriate. Services offered to employers include referral of job seekers to job openings;
matching job requirements with applicants' experience, skills and other attributes; helping
with special recruitment needs; assisting employers with hard-to-fill job orders; assisting with
job restructuring; and helping employers assist laid-off workers. Training services are not
provided and not allowable under ES program.
Expected Outcomes: The ES program outcomes are to ensure that individuals are able to
access and receive the services they need to overcome barriers to employment and reenter the
workforce system as quickly as possible.
Intended beneficiaries: This is a universal access program that is available to all individuals
who are US citizens.
Subrecipient Activities: The grantees may subaward funds to conduct LMI research as well
as the provision of specific services such as assessments of career interests, career guidance,
job search workshops, referral to jobs or training as appropriate, and others.
Workforce Information Grants to States (WIGS) program
Purpose: The purpose of this grant is to develop and disseminate essential state and local
labor market information (LMI) for a range of customer groups: 1) job seekers; 2)
businesses/employers; 3) workforce and labor market intermediaries such as employment,
school, and career counselors, and case managers at American Job Centers, who help
individuals find a job or make career decisions, or engage businesses seeking skilled workers;
4) program and service planners at educational institutions and community-based
organizations; 5) policy makers, including state and local workforce development boards
(WDBs); 6) partners, such as economic development entities and human resource
professionals; and 7) other customers, including recipients of workforce development grants,
researchers, commercial data providers, and the media.
Activities to be performed: Grantees must populate and maintain a database (the Workforce
Information Database or WID), produce two types of public products (employment
projections and a statewide economic analysis report), and ensure LMI staff are adequately
trained. ETA also encourages grantees to produce other reports and data in addition to those
required. Grantees have wide discretion in both the topics and presentation format. These
reports should include accurate data, actionable information, and resources that enable data
users to make informed decisions about the reemployment, work-based learning, training, and
career pathways strategies that lead to rapid reemployment and worker advancement along a
continuum of high-demand and higher wage jobs.
Expected Outcomes: By performing these duties users of LMI will have sufficient
information to make informed decisions regarding employment, careers, education, and
training.
Intended Beneficiaries: Job seekers, employers, staff in American Job Centers, state and
local WDBs, national/state/local policy makers, students, academic researchers, labor market
analysts, and other users of LMI.
Appendix VI -5-
Subrecipient Activities: A state may use WIGS funding to work with a subrecipient to
conduct a study or research an LMI topic when a state LMI office does not have sufficient
staffing or knowledge to conduct the work themselves.

Employment Service (Wagner-Peyser Act)
Formula for 97% of funds:
2/3: State relative share of civilian labor force (average 12 months ending 9/30 (preliminary) or 12/31 (final))
1/3: State relative share of total unemployment (average 12 months ending 9/30 (preliminary) or 12/31 (final))
Minimums:
(a) 90 percent of State relative share of prior year funding
(b) 0.28 percent of total available funds for States
Maximum: None
Distribution of 3% of funds:
(1) States with civilian labor force below 1 million and under the national median civilian labor force density receive an amount which,
when added to their share of the 97 percent portion, will result in an amount equal to 100 percent of their relative share of the prior year
funding.
(2) Remaining States losing in relative share receive a share of the remaining funds prorated based on the amount needed to achieve 100
percent of their relative share of prior year funding.

WIOA Dislocated Workers
Formula:
Funds to local areas must be allocated based on a formula created by the Governor using the following 6 data factors:
• Insured unemployment data
• Unemployment concentrations
• Plant closing and mass layoff data
• Declining industries data
• Farmer-rancher economic hardship data
• Long-term unemployment data
The formula will use the most appropriate data available
Weighting a factor zero is not permitted unless a rational is presented in an approved State Plan.
Minimum:
A local area may not receive an allocation percentage that is less than 90 percent of the average allocation percentage of the past 2 years.
