b. Background - On March 15, 2025, the Full-Year Continuing Appropriations and
Extensions Act, 2025, P.L. 119-4, was enacted (from this point forward, referred to as “the
Act”). Section 1101 of the Act makes appropriations to the Department of Labor “under
the authority and conditions provided in” the Departments of Labor, Health and Human
Services, and Education, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2024 (Division D of
Public Law 118-47). Therefore, just like the FY 2024 appropriations act, the 2025 Act
makes PY 2025 Youth Activities funds available for obligation on April 1, 2025, 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
for obligation on July 1, 2025; 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, 2025; 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 2025 that will be made available on October 1, 2025, were appropriated during FY
2025, but not made available until FY 2026, and are called the FY 2026 “advance” funds.
See Attachment A for details.
The 2025 Act applies the provisions of the FY 2024 appropriations act at Public Law 118-
47, Division D, Title I, secs. 106(b) and 107, which allow the Secretary of Labor
(Secretary) to set aside up to 0.5 percent of each discretionary appropriation for activities
related to program integrity and up to 0.75 percent of most operating funds for
evaluations. Additionally, section 102 allows for up to 1 percent of discretionary funds in
the Act to be transferred between programs, projects, or activities. For 2025, as
authorized by the Act, the Department has set aside $15,562,000 of the Training and
Employment Services (TES) and $7,291,000 of the State Unemployment Insurance and
Employment Services Operations (SUIESO) appropriations impacted in this TEGL for
these activities. Employment and Training Administration (ETA) reserved these funds
from the WIOA Adult, Youth, Dislocated Worker, Wagner-Peyser Act ES, and Workforce
Information Grant program budgets. Any funds not utilized for these reserve activities
will be provided to the states.
The Act also includes the specification 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. Additionally, the
salary caps imposed under the FY 2024 appropriations act at Public Law 118-47, Division
D, Title I, sec. 105, apply to the FY 25 appropriated funds. The funds provided to
grantees in the allotments discussed in this TEGL 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
https://www.dol.gov/agencies/eta/advisories/tegl-10-24 Salary and Bonus Limitation
Imposed by Appropriations Language.
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 2025, outlying area grant amounts are based on the
administrative formula determined by the Secretary that was used under the Workforce
Investment Act.
Additionally, the Act allows outlying areas to submit a single application according to the
requirements established by the Secretary for a consolidated grant for Adult, Youth, and
Dislocated Worker funds. Subject to approval of the grant application and other reporting
requirements of the Secretary, the Act allows outlying areas receiving a consolidated grant
to use those funds interchangeably between Adult, Youth, and Dislocated Worker
programs or activities. Outlying areas must follow steps identified in Appendix VII if
they want to consolidate those funds into a single grant. However, if outlying areas are
not consolidating the Adult, Dislocated Worker, and Youth funds they must follow steps
identified in Appendix VI.
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 the Republic of Palau through FY 2024. See 48 U.S.C. 1921d(f)(1)(B)(ix).
WIOA specifically includes 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)), and therefore the Republic of Palau
may obtain allotments.
In addition to this TEGL, ETA will publish the allotments and descriptions of the
allotment formulas in the Federal Register. 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 2025 for WIOA Youth Activities totals
$948,130,000. After reducing the appropriation by $10,230,000 for set asides authorized
by the Act and reserving $925,200 for Migrant and Seasonal Farmworker (MSFW)
Youth, $936,974,800 is available for Youth Activities, which includes $14,054,622 for
Native American grantees, $920,612,878 for states, and $2,307,300 for outlying areas.
The WIOA Youth formula has a section in WIOA for a reservation for MSFW Youth if
the appropriation exceeds $925,000,000. Per WIOA 127(a)(1), ETA reserved 4 percent
($925,200) 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 set asides authorized by the Act) after the MSFW
Youth and Native American reservations. The Native American reservation is calculated
on the total available for Youth Activities (after set asides authorized by the Act) after the
MSFW Youth reservation. Attachment D contains a breakdown of the WIOA Youth
Activities program allotments by state for PY 2025 and provides a comparison of these
allotments to PY 2024. Please note that the Department will provide information on the
Native American Youth allotments in a separate TEGL.
Formula funds are allotted for PY 2025 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 2023 through June 2024, 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
2023 through June 2024, 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, 2016 and December
31, 2020.
Since the total amount available for states in PY 2025 is below the required $1 billion
threshold specified in WIOA sec. 127(b)(1)(C)(iv)(IV), which was also the case in PY
2024, the Department did not apply the WIOA additional minimum provisions (see
Attachment B). Instead, the minimums of 90 percent of the prior year allotment
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 2025 Funding WIOA Agreement/Notice of Award (NOAs). Youth program funds
are available to states to use once the PY 2025 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 2025, 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 2023 to June 2024.
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 2023 to June 2024.
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, 2016 and December 31,
2020.
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-24-16).
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 2023 and the same data must be used in PY
2025. ETA published this information in TEGL No. 1-23, Updated Disadvantaged
Youth and Adult Data for use in Program Year (PY) 2023 and future Workforce
Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) Youth and Adult Within-State Allocation
Formulas.
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.
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 2024 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 2024 funds after the first
program year. Therefore, any reallotment of funds requires the use of PY 2025 funds. In
other words, recapture and reallotment of PY 2025 funds is based on obligation levels of
PY 2024 funds at the end of PY 2024.
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 2024 funds and no further action is required regarding reallotment of PY 2025
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. Additional guidance and information on the access and use of the PMS
Financial Reporting System for the submission of future ETA-9130 quarterly
financial reports is provided in Training and Employment Notice (TEN) No. 16-22.
The PMS Financial Reporting System training sessions will be recorded and available
for future reference.
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
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 2025 columns in Attachments
D and E. States that meet the criteria for PY 2025 as a minimum allotment state are those
states that receive a PY 2025 WIOA Youth allotment of $2,301,532 or receive a PY 2025
WIOA Adult allotment of $2,202,857. If a state wishes to submit a small state OSY
exception request, they must submit the request for PY 2025 by September 30, 2025.
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 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 2025 is
$885,649,000. After reducing the appropriated amount by $2,298,000 for set asides
authorized by the Act, $883,351,000 remains for Adult Activities, of which $881,142,622
is for states and $2,208,378 is for outlying areas. Attachment E shows the PY 2025
Adult Employment and Training Activities allotments and a state-by-state comparison of
the PY 2025 allotments to PY 2024 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 2025 is below the required $960 million threshold specified in WIOA
sec. 132(b)(1)(B)(iv)(IV), as was also the case in PY 2024, 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 2025 Funding WIOA Agreement/NOAs. For PY 2025, Congress appropriated funds
for this program in two portions: $173,649,000 is available for obligation on July 1, 2025
(PY 2025), and $712,000,000 is available for obligation on October 1, 2025 (FY 2026).
After reductions for set asides authorized by the Act, the amount available for Adult
Activities on July 1, 2025 (PY 2025) is $171,913,000, and on October 1, 2025 is
$711,438,000. 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, 2025, under the PY 2025 WIOA grant agreement, and the other for October 1,
2025, also under the PY 2025 WIOA grant agreement (see Attachment F).
C. Sub-State Allocations. States must distribute WIOA Adult Activities funds for PY 2025
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 2025. In
allocating WIOA Adult funds to local areas for PY 2025, states may use either the
allocation formula described in WIOA sec. 133(b)(2)(A) or the discretionary allocation
formula in WIOA sec. 133(b)(3). Also, states must ensure the state policy articulated in
the approved WIOA Unified or Combined 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 2023 to June 2024.
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 2023 to June 2024.
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, 2016 and December 31, 2020.
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-24-16).
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

ETA obtained updated data for use in PY 2023 and the same data must be used in PY
2025. ETA published this information in TEGL No. 1-23, Updated Disadvantaged
Youth and Adult Data for use in Program Year (PY) 2023 and future Workforce
Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) Youth and Adult Within-State Allocation
Formulas.
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 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:
a. excess 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 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 2024 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 2024 funds after the first
program year. Therefore, any re-allotment of funds requires the use of PY 2025 funds.
In other words, re-allotment of PY 2025 funds is based on obligation levels of PY 2024
funds at the end of PY 2024.
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 2024 funds and no further action is required regarding re-allotment of PY 2025
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. Additional
guidance and information on the access and use of the PMS Financial Reporting
System for the submission of future ETA-9130 quarterly financial reports is provided
in TEN No. 16-22. The PMS Financial Reporting System training sessions will be
recorded and available for future reference.
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 2025 totals $1,396,412,000.
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 $3,034,000 for
set asides authorized by the Act, a total of $1,393,378,000 remains available for Dislocated
Worker Activities. The amount available for outlying areas is $3,483,445, leaving $297,375,555
for the National Reserve and a total of $1,092,519,000 available for states.
A. State Allotments. Attachment G shows the PY 2025 Dislocated Worker Activities
allotments and a state-by-state comparison of the PY 2025 allotments to PY 2024
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 2025
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 2023 through September 2024.
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 2023 through September
2024. 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 2023 through September 2024.
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).
B. PY 2025 Funding WIOA Agreement/NOAs. For PY 2025, Congress appropriated funds
for this program in two portions for both formula funds and National Reserve funds. For
state formula funds, $235,553,000 is available for obligation on July 1, 2025 (PY 2025),
and $860,000,000 is available for obligation on October 1, 2025 (FY 2026). For the
National Reserve, which includes funds for the outlying areas, $100,859,000 is available
for obligation on July 1, 2025 (PY 2025), and $200,000,000 is available for obligation on
October 1, 2025 (FY 2026). After reductions for set asides authorized by the Act, the
amount available for state formula funds on July 1, 2025 is $233,198,000 and on October
1, 2025 is $859,321,000. For the National Reserve, the amount available on July 1, 2025
is $100,859,000 and on October 1, 2025 is $200,000,000. 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, 2025,
under the PY 2025 WIOA grant agreement, and the other for October 1, 2025, also under
the PY 2025 WIOA grant agreement (see Attachment H).
C. Sub-State Allocations. States will distribute Dislocated Worker Activities funds for PY
2025 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 2025.
In allocating WIOA Dislocated Worker funds to local areas for PY 2025, 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 BLS 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 WIOA Unified or Combined State Plan:
• 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 2024 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 2024 funds
after the first program year. Therefore, any re-allotment of funds requires the use of PY
2025 funds. In other words, the Department will reallot PY 2025 Dislocated Worker
formula funds among states during PY 2025 based on state obligations of PY 2024 funds
made during PY 2024. Likewise, obligation of PY 2025 funds will impact recapture and
reallotment of PY 2026 funding.
1. WIOA sec. 134(a)(2)(A)(ii) gives states the flexibility to use PY 2024 Rapid
Response funds that are not obligated by the end of PY 2024 for statewide activities.
Per WIOA sec. 132(c), states must still obligate 80 percent of their PY 2024
Dislocated Worker program formula funds, which includes Rapid Response funds, by
June 30, 2025 or potentially have PY 2025 funds recaptured and re-allotted to states
who have obligated 80 percent of their PY 2024 funds.
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. Additional guidance and information on the access and
use of the PMS Financial Reporting System for the submission of future ETA-9130
quarterly financial reports is provided in TEN No. 16-22. The PMS Financial
Reporting System training sessions will be recorded and available for future
reference.
Appendix IV – Wagner-Peyser Act ES Allotment Activities
Wagner-Peyser Act ES Final Allotments. The appropriated level for PY 2025 for grants for
the ES programs totals was $675,052,000. After reducing the appropriated amount by
$7,266,000 for set asides authorized by the Act, $667,786,000 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 2025 formula allotments on each state’s share of calendar year 2024
monthly averages of the Civilian Labor Force (CLF) and unemployment. The distribution of
Wagner-Peyser Act funds for PY 2025 includes $666,158,170 for states, as well as $1,627,830
for Guam and the United States Virgin Islands. Attachment I shows the distribution of PY 2025
ES formula amounts by state compared to PY 2024.
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.
State Workforce Agencies (SWAs) must use Wagner-Peyser Act ES funding to provide
employment services to migrant and seasonal farmworkers (MSFW), as described at 20 CFR §
651, 653, 654, and 658. These services include, but are not limited to, outreach to MSFWs, State
Monitor Advocate (SMA) responsibilities, clearance of job orders through the Agricultural
Recruitment System (ARS), and operation of the Employment Service and Employment-Related
Law Complaint System. SWAs must budget to ensure they have sufficient funds to support the
following ES staffing requirements: (1) an adequate number of outreach staff, as described in the
approved Agricultural Outreach Plan and ES regulations at § 653.107; (2) a full-time SMA,
unless the SWA has approval from the Regional Administrator for less than full-time SMA
devotion, and ES staff assigned to the SMA to assist the SMA to fulfil the SMA’s
responsibilities, as necessary under § 653.108(d) and (e); (3) ES staff assigned to conduct
preoccupancy housing inspections and field checks on ARS clearance orders, as described at
§ 653, Subpart F; and (4) trained Complaint System Representatives for ES offices and the
SWA, as described at § 658, Subpart E.
Appendix V – Workforce Information Grants Allotment Activities
Workforce Information Grants (WIGs). Total funds for PY 2025 are $32,000,000. After
reducing the total by $25,000 for program integrity, $31,975,000 is available for Workforce
Information Grants. Funds are distributed to states by administrative formula with $176,740 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 Survey.
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 2024. 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 VI – Submission Requirements and Reporting
1. Submission Requirements. To achieve greater efficiency and as part of ETA’s ongoing
effort to streamline the mandatory grant award process, all states 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. As noted in
Section 3.b. of this TEGL, outlying areas that want to consolidate Adult, Dislocated Worker,
and Youth funds into a single grant must follow steps identified in Appendix VII. However,
outlying areas that do not choose to consolidate funds must follow the steps identified herein
for states.
• ETA-TEGL-11-24-YOUTH [CFDA 17.259]
• ETA-TEGL-11-24-ADULT [CFDA 17.258]
• ETA-TEGL-11-24-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 2025 “base” allotment of WIOA Adult and Dislocated Worker funds will be awarded
during the period of availability beginning July 2025. The FY 2026 “advance” allotment will
be awarded in the period of availability starting October 2025. A copy of the executed PY
2025 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 ES program under Funding
Opportunity Numbers:
• ETA-TEGL-11-24-ES [CFDA 17.207]
• ETA-TEGL-11-24-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 2025. A copy of the executed PY 2025 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/register
Registration is a one-time process, and states that already have a Grants.gov account do not
need to register again. 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 #15 of the SF-424
must indicate the amount of Indirect Costs claimed by the recipient. Example: “Indirect Costs
for this award are estimated at $19,000.” (A dollar amount must be inserted even if it is $0).
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.
As of April 4, 2022, the Data Universal Numbering System (DUNS) Number was replaced by
a new, non-proprietary identifier requested in and assigned by System for Award (SAM).gov.
To learn more about this identifier called the Unique Entity Identifier (UEI), or the Entity ID,
please visit the U.S. General Service Administration (GSA), UEI Update webpage.
Before submitting, states must also ensure its registration with the 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
to speak to a Customer Support Representative or email the email address found in
https://gditshared.servicenowservices.com/hhs_grants. 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 Jenifer McEnery, Grant Officer, at
[email protected]. The email must reference the specific Funding Opportunity
Number, and include a contact name, email address, and phone number.
3. Separate Grants. Starting in PY 2023, ETA de-coupled programs that were previously
awarded under a single grant and executed them as individual awards as part of an ongoing
effort to improve data quality and fulfill reporting requirements to
https://www.usaspending.gov/. Prior to PY 2023, the annual allotments for the three separate
WIOA programs were distributed under a single grant award using the “AA” program
identifier. Similarly, the Wagner-Peyser ES Program grant and the Workforce Information
Grants were distributed under a single grant award using the “ES” program identifier.
Starting in PY 2023, ETA began awarding a separate grant to states and outlying areas for
each WIOA and ES program, except for those outlying areas that request a WIOA
consolidated grant.
For PY 2025 WIOA programs, this will result in three separate grant awards as follows:
• WIOA Youth: PY 2025 Youth funding under program identifier “AY.”
• WIOA Adult: PY 2025 Adult and FY 2026 Advance Adult funding under program
identifier “AT.”
• WIOA Dislocated Worker: PY 2025 Dislocated Worker and FY 2026 Advance
Dislocated Worker funding under program identifier “AW.”
For the ES programs, this will result in two separate grant awards as follows:
• Wagner-Peyser ES Program: PY 2025 ES funding under program identifier “WP.”
• Workforce Information System Grants (WIGs): PY 2025 WIGs funding under program
identifier “WG.”
Note that this change does not impact the submission of the ETA 9130 financial reports since
grantees are required to currently submit a separate ETA 9130 for each program.
4. 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. See policies and directives: www.dol.gov/agencies/eta/advisories
Appendix VII – Submission Requirements and Financial Reporting for Outlying Areas
WIOA Title I Grant Consolidation
1. Submission Requirements. The Full-Year Continuing Appropriations and Extensions Act,
2025, P.L. 119-4, makes appropriations to the Department of Labor “under the authority and
conditions provided in” Division D of Public Law 118-47, the Departments of Labor, Health
and Human Services, and Education, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2024.
Therefore, like the funds that were appropriated in the 2024 act, an outlying area may choose
to consolidate WIOA title I funding for Program Year (PY) 2025. To apply for a consolidated
award, an outlying area must submit an electronically signed copy of an SF- 424, Application
for Federal Assistance, through Grants.gov for a single WIOA grant award under the Funding
Opportunity Number listed below. Outlying areas that do not choose to consolidate funds must
follow the same submission requirements as identified in Appendix VI for states.
• ETA-TEGL-11-24-OA [CFDA 17.290]
Attachment K provides the total PY (April/July) and FY (October) amounts available under a
consolidated grant application for any outlying area requesting a consolidated grant. The
electronically submitted SF-424 through Grants.gov constitutes an official signed document
and reflects the amount for the consolidation of WIOA title I funding streams for an outlying
area. The closing date for receipt of the SF-424 is 30 days from the issue of this TEGL.
For outlying areas whose consolidated grant application is approved, the PY 2025 WIOA
Youth funds will be awarded during the period of availability beginning April 2025. The PY
2025 “base” allotment of WIOA Adult and Dislocated Worker funds will be awarded during
the period of availability beginning July 2025. The FY 2026 “advance” allotment of WIOA
Adult and Dislocated Worker funds will be awarded in the period of availability starting
October 2025. A copy of the executed PY 2025 WIOA Agreement will be available upon
award of funds.
In addition, Guam and Virgin Islands must submit an electronically signed SF-424,
Application for Federal Assistance, through Grants.gov for each Wagner-Peyser Act ES
program under Funding Opportunity Numbers:
• ETA-TEGL-11-24-ES [CFDA 17.207]
• ETA-TEGL-11-24-WIG [CFDA 17.207]
Guam and Virgin Islands 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 for all WIGS grantees.
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 2025. A copy of the executed PY
2025 ES Agreement will be available upon award of funds.
2. Grants.gov Submission Process. Outlying areas must submit the SF-424, Application for
Federal Assistance, through Grants.gov. Outlying areas needing to register with Grants.gov
may do so here: https://www.grants.gov/register. Registration is a one-time process, and
outlying areas that already have a Grants.gov account do not need to register again. To submit
the required SF-424s, outlying areas 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 the combined WIOA funding
stream (i.e. “ETA-TEGL”). Guam and Virgin Islands will also enter in the Funding
Opportunity Number for each of the two Wagner-Peyser funding streams.
• 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 WIOA Adult, Dislocated Worker, and Youth
Outlying Areas Consolidated Grants and the Wagner-Peyser Act ES grants (Guam and Virgin
Islands), the Estimated Funding section of the SF-424 (item #18) must reflect the exact
amount of the designated outlying area 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 #15 of the SF-424 must indicate the amount of Indirect Costs
claimed by the recipient. Example: “Indirect Costs for this award are estimated at $19,000.”
(A dollar amount must be inserted even if it is $0).
Finally, Item #17 of the SF-424 indicates the period of performance for these grants. For
each program, the entity must indicate the earliest start date for the grant award, as follows:
• For WIOA consolidated grants, the period of performance indicated on Line 17 will be
04/01/2025 to 06/30/2027.
• For Wagner-Peyser ES, the period of performance indicated on Line 17 will be
07/01/2025 to 09/30/2027.
• For WIGS, the period of performance indicated on Line 17 will be 07/01/2025 to
09/30/2027.
This submission process can be complicated and time-consuming. As such, the Department
strongly encourages outlying areas to initiate the process as soon as possible, in order to allow
time to resolve unanticipated technical problems.
As of April 4, 2022, the DUNS Number was replaced by a new, non-proprietary identifier
requested in and assigned by SAM.gov. To learn more about this identifier called the Unique
Entity Identifier (UEI), or the Entity ID, please visit the U.S. General Service Administration
(GSA), Unique Entity Identifier Update webpage.
Before submitting, outlying areas must also ensure their registration with the SAM is
current. (SAM replaced the Central Contractor Registry.) Instructions for registering with
SAM can be found 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, outlying areas 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, outlying areas may call 800-
518-4726 to speak to a Customer Support Representative, email [email protected], or view
the self-service resources found in https://gditshared.servicenowservices.com/hhs_grants.
The Contact Center is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week, but closes on federal holidays.
Outlying areas should e-mail all submission questions to Jenifer McEnery, Grant Officer, at
[email protected]. The email must reference the specific Funding Opportunity
Number, and include a contact name, email address, and phone number.
3. Separate Grants. For all states and outlying areas receiving WIOA and Wagner-Peyser
formula grants, ETA has determined that it is necessary to de-couple programs that were
previously awarded under a single grant prior to PY 2023 and execute them as separate
awards as part of an ongoing effort to improve data quality and fulfill reporting requirements
to https://www.usaspending.gov/. Prior to PY 2023, the annual allotments for the three
separate WIOA programs were distributed under a single grant award using the “AA”
program identifier. Similarly, the Wagner-Peyser ES Program grant and the Workforce
Information Grants were distributed under a single grant award using the “ES” program
identifier. Starting in PY 2023, ETA will award a separate grant to states and outlying areas
for each WIOA and ES program unless an outlying area submits a consolidated grant
application and is approved.
For the WIOA Adult, Dislocated Worker, and Youth Outlying Areas Consolidated Grant, this
will result in a grant award as follows:
• PY 2025 WIOA Adult, Dislocated Worker, and Youth Outlying Areas Consolidated
Grants and FY 2025 Advance funding under program identifier “AO.”
For the ES programs for Guam and Virgin Islands, this will result in two separate grant
awards as follows:
• Wagner-Peyser ES Program: PY 2025 ES funding under program identifier “WP.”
• Workforce Information Grants to States (WIGS): PY 2025 WIGS funding under
program identifier “WG.”
4. Reporting. For the WIOA formula programs consolidated grant, outlying areas are required
to submit two ETA 9130 Basic quarterly financial status reports each quarter. One will cover
funds received for the periods beginning in April and July (see Attachment K Totals Column
for PY Apr/July). A separate report is required for the funds received for the period beginning
in October (see Attachment K Totals Column for FY October). The WIOA quarterly financial
reports cover financial data, in one report, for the sum of statewide Youth, statewide Adult,
statewide Dislocated Worker, statewide Rapid Response (Dislocated Worker activities), local
Youth, local Adult, and local Dislocated Worker activities. For many outlying areas, there
may not be a distinction between “statewide” and “local” activities. The Department also
requires Guam and Virgin Islands to submit the designated financial reports each quarter for
the ES program funds and the WIGS funds. ETA will provide future guidance regarding any
modified performance reporting requirements. Please refer to published ETA guidance and
instructions on the ETA Advisory publication page (https://wdr.doleta.gov/directives/).

* Authorizing legislation such as WIOA Public Law 113-128 establishes policies and funding limits for programs and agencies.
** Appropriations legislation gives Departments authority to obligate and expend federal funds related to the program
authorizations. Appropriations can further restrict the purpose, time, and amount of the program authorizations and through the
Anti-Deficiency Act, Departments are prohibited from overobligating or overspending an appropriation. Appropriations legislation
would include the Full-Year Continuing Appropriations and Extensions Act, 2025 (Public Law 119-4) enacted March 15, 2025.
