Revised WIA-to-WIOA transition funding limits
Summary ETA revised the limits on using 2014 Workforce Investment Act funds for WIOA transition activities because an earlier continuing resolution’s 0.0554 percent reduction did not carry into the full-year appropriation. It said states’ overall 2014 allotments had not changed and provided revised funding tables in three attachments. ETA now lists this change as Canceled.

3. Background. TEGL 12-14 issued October 28, 2014, provided guidance to states and other
recipients of funds under title I of WIA on the use and reporting of PY 2014 funds for
planning and implementation activities associated with the transition to WIOA.
At the time TEGL 12-14 was published, the Continuing Appropriations Resolution, 2015 was
in effect and contained a 0.0554 percent reduction applicable to the PY 2014 October 1, 2014
(FY 2015 Advance) funding for the Adult and Dislocated Worker programs. The Continuing
Resolution reduced neither the WIA Youth Activities funds (available April 1, 2014) nor the
base portion (available July 1, 2014) of funding for Adult and Dislocated Worker activities.
This 0.0554 percent reduction impacted the transition activity funding limits on PY 2014
funds published in TEGL 12-14. The Consolidated and Further Continuing Appropriations
Act, 2015 did not include the 0.0554 percent reduction. As a result, this Change 1 to
TEGL 12-14 revises the transition activity funding limits on Adult and Dislocated
Worker activities to be based on the original PY 2014 appropriated funding levels.
Note, the amount of funds allotted to states for PY 2014 has not changed.
4. Use of Available WIA Funds for Transitional Activities. Two percent of each of the PY
2014 WIA formula allotments that are made from the funds appropriated under Division H-I
of the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2014, which were outlined to the States in TEGL 18-
13, for the Youth, Adult, and Dislocated Worker funding streams is available for states for
transition activities related to WIOA, and of that amount, not less than 50 percent is to be
provided to local areas for transitional activities.
PY 2014 formula funds are available for transitional activities through June 30, 2017.
PY 2015 formula funds were not provided this flexibility for transition activities.
5. WIOA Two-Percent Transition Funding Levels. A description of DOL’s methodology for
calculating transitional funding limits applicable to the Adult, Dislocated Worker and Youth
formula programs is provided below. The amounts available based on the methodology are
provided in attachments A-C.
Adult. The PY 2014 WIA Adult Activities formula allotments by State were used as the
basis for the calculations. The PY 2014 amounts for the Adult program include PY 2014
Base and FY 2015 Advance funding. The two percent maximum transition amount
calculation was performed by multiplying each state’s allotment by two percent. Next, the
minimum amount to be made available to the local levels was calculated by multiplying each
state’s two percent maximum transition amount by 50 percent.
Dislocated Workers. The PY 2014 WIA Dislocated Worker Activities formula allotments
by State were used as the basis for the calculations. The PY 2014 amounts for the Dislocated
Worker program include PY 2014 Base and FY 2015 Advance funding. The two percent
maximum transition amount calculation was performed by multiplying each state’s allotment
by two percent. Next, the minimum amount to be made available to the local levels was
calculated by multiplying each state’s two percent maximum transition amount by 50 percent.
Youth. The PY 2014 WIA Youth Activities formula allotments by State were used as the
basis for the calculations. The two percent maximum transition amount calculation was
performed by multiplying each state’s allotment by two percent. Next, the minimum amount
to be made available to the local levels was calculated by multiplying each state’s two percent
maximum transition amount by 50 percent.
