             Deputy Assistant Secretary

SUBJECT:     Allotments for training and employment services as specified in the
             American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Recovery Act) for
             activities under the Workforce Investment Act of 1998 (WIA). Workforce

3. Background. The funds for the allotments announced in this TEGL are part of the
   funds appropriated in the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, P.L.
   111-5 (the Recovery Act), signed into law February 17, 2009.

   Recovery Act funds for Training and Employment Services under WIA and the
   Wagner-Peyser Act are available for allotment as follows:

   •   $1,188,000,000 for youth activities, including summer employment for youth;
   •   $495,000,000 for adult services, including supportive services and needs-related
       payments. Priority for receipt of these services is to go to recipients of public
       assistance and other low-income individuals as described in 134(d)(4)(E) of WIA;
   •   $1,435,500,000 for dislocated worker training and employment services and
       national reserve; and
   •   $396,000,000 for Wagner-Peyser Act activities; $247,500,000 of those funds are to
       support RES for unemployment insurance claimants.

   The above figures represent the amount of Recovery Act funds as specified in the
   Act less one percent which is authorized to be retained at the federal level for
   program administration and oversight.

   States are expected to spend Recovery Act funding quickly and effectively. WIA
   funding for Adults, Dislocated Workers, and Youth are considered to be PY 2008
   funds and, therefore, must be expended by the end of PY 2010 (June 30, 2011).
   Wagner-Peyser funds are available for obligation by the states through September
   30, 2010 and must be expended by the end of PY 2010 (June 30, 2011). It is the
   Congress’ intent, as well as that of the Administration, that the majority of these
   funds will be utilized within the first year of availability.

   The Recovery Act is intended to preserve and create jobs, promote the nation’s
   economic recovery, and assist those most impacted by the recession. It provides the
   U.S. Department of Labor and the public workforce investment system with
   unprecedented levels of funding for a number of employment and training
   programs to help Americans acquire new skills and get back to work. If the
   workforce system is to meet both the letter and the spirit of the law and fulfill its
   critical role in U.S. economic recovery, we must implement the Act expeditiously
   and effectively, with full accountability of our expenditure of funds. But the
   Recovery Act provides more than an injection of workforce development resources
   into communities in need across the country. The significant investment of stimulus
   funds presents an extraordinary and unique opportunity for the workforce system
   to advance transformational efforts and demonstrate its full capacity to innovate and
   implement effective One-Stop service delivery strategies. As states and localities
   plan how their One-Stop systems will make immediate use of the Recovery Act
   funds, ETA encourages them to take an expansive view of how the funds can be
   integrated into efforts to improve the effectiveness of the public workforce system.
   In this system, the needs of workers and employers are equally important in

                                           2

developing thriving communities where all citizens succeed and businesses prosper.
Successful implementation of the Recovery Act includes not only quick and effective
provision of services and training for workers in need, but also leveraging changes
in the system’s basic operations to develop a strong, invigorated, innovative public
workforce system capable of helping enable future economic growth and advancing
shared prosperity for all Americans.

In a stronger, more comprehensive workforce investment system, adults move
easily between the labor market and education and training in order to advance in
their careers and upgrade their contributions to the workplace, while disconnected
youth are able to reconnect through multiple pathways to education and training
opportunities necessary to enter and advance in the workforce. Adult education, job
training, postsecondary education, registered apprenticeship, career advancement
and supportive service activities are fully aligned with economic and community
development strategies, so as to meet the skill needs of existing and emerging
employers and high growth occupations as well as the needs of under-skilled adults.
Under such a dual-customer approach, seamless career pathways would be
developed and offered, and support services and needs-based payments would be
available, making it far easier for young people and adults to advance and persist
through progressive levels of the education and job training system as quickly as
possible and gain education and workforce skills of demonstrated value at each
level. Education and training at every level would be closely aligned with jobs and
industries important to local and regional economies. Every level of education and
training would afford students and trainees the ability to advance in school or at
work, with assessments and certifications linked to the requirements of the next
level of education and employment.

With this infusion of funding, states and local areas should consider how their
funding decisions and implementation activities for Recovery Act funds can help
achieve this goal of workforce system transformation.

The WIA allotments for states are based on formula provisions defined in the Act
(see Attachment I for WIA and Wagner-Peyser formula descriptions). The WIA
allotments for the outlying areas (e.g., American Samoa, Guam, Northern Marianas,
Palau, and the Virgin Islands) are based on a discretionary formula used for PY 2008
funds as authorized under WIA Title I.I

In addition to this TEGL, allotments and descriptions of the allotment formulas will
be published in the Federal Register.



I The Marshall Islands and Micronesia no longer receive WIA Title I funding, pursuant to P.L. 108-188,
Compact of Free Association Amendments of 2003, (December 17, 2003); instead, these areas now receive
funding from the Department of Education appropriation. The Compact, as amended by the Consolidated
Appropriations Act of 2008, continues the availability of programs previously available to Palau through
September 2009, including WIA Title I funding provisions.


                                                    3

   To assist states in the implementation, monitoring, and reporting of Recovery Act
   activities, ETA anticipates providing TEGLs or other documents on the following
   topics:
       ƒ Policy and Planning;
       ƒ Participant and Performance Reporting; and
       ƒ Financial Reporting.

   Pursuant to the intent of the Recovery Act, allotments will be issued no later than 30
   days from the date the bill was signed into law, February 17, 2009. The Recovery
   Act allotment funds will be issued as modifications to the PY 2008 WIA grants, with
   the funds having the same period of performance as PY 2008 funds. We reiterate the
   additional Wagner-Peyser obligation requirement for Recovery Act funds which is
   specified in the Act as September 30, 2010. It should be noted that grant agreements
   will have new provisions specific to the Recovery Act funding. The following is the
   schedule for processing the Recovery Act funds:
      ƒ Week of March 2, 2009 – Amended agreement sent to state grantees;
      ƒ Week of March 9, 2009 – States return the signed version of the agreement;
          and
      ƒ Week of March 16, 2009 – Notice of Obligation allotting funds issued.


4. Policy and Procedures for Quick and Effective Expenditure of Funds.

   The intent of the Recovery Act is that funds be spent quickly and effectively in
   meeting the employment and training needs of the Nation’s workforce. In order to
   accomplish this, ETA will be issuing Notices of Obligation (NOOs) for WIA and
   Wagner-Peyser funds no later than March 19, 2009, 30 days from the President’s
   signing of the Recovery Act.

   In an effort to support states in their rapid deployment of funds and recognizing
   that normal plan submission and approval procedures may hamper such efforts,
   ETA has determined that states’ approved PY 2008 WIA and Wagner-Peyser Act
   Strategic State Plans qualify the states to receive Recovery Act allotments pursuant
   to WIA section 112. To qualify states for PY 2009 allotments, ETA will grant
   extensions on current WIA and Wagner–Peyser Strategic State Plans for PY 2009.
   This strategy will permit states to immediately receive and begin expending
   Recovery Act funds while providing a meaningful period in which to develop plans
   for the most effective use of Recovery Act and formula funds. Requests for the
   extension through June 30, 2009 must be submitted to ETA by April 15, 2009. ETA
   will require that states submit a subsequent modification to the State Plan to
   incorporate Recovery Act planning by June 30, 2009. Details regarding the State
   Plan modifications will be provided in a subsequent Policy and Planning TEGL.

   Likewise, because approved local plans are already in place, states are required to
   make the Recovery Act funds for WIA and Wagner-Peyser available to Local Areas
   not later than 30 days of being made available to the State. States are encouraged to

                                           4

   devise a Local Plan modification process that enables local areas to plan for the
   quickest and most effective use of Recovery Act funds in the local areas while not
   delaying the rapid allocation of funds to local areas within 30 days of receipt of
   funds by the state. Therefore, the Local Plans, required by WIA section 118, may be
   dated and not reflect the economic context altered by the economic downturn or
   strategies altered by the additional funds available through the Recovery Act.
   Under 20 CFR 661.355, each Governor sets the policy for when a Local Plan must be
   modified, such as significant changes in local economic conditions and changes in
   financing available for WIA title I and partner-provided WIA services. States are
   encouraged to review their Local Plan modification policy, and to require that Local
   Plans be modified according to state policy.


5. State Youth Activities Funds: Title I Subtitle B --Chapter 4--Youth Activities.

   A. State Allotments. The amount available for WIA Youth Activities totals
      $1,188,000,000, which includes $17,820,000 for Native Americans, $1,167,210,00
      for states, and $2,970,000 for outlying areas. Attachment II contains a breakdown
      of the State WIA Youth Activities program allotments by state. States are
      expected to spend Recovery Act funding quickly and effectively.

      Even though the supplemental funds are part of the PY 2008 grant agreements,
      the allotment formulas use more recent unemployment data than that used for
      the PY 2008 allotments in order to more effectively distribute Recovery Act funds
      to those areas of greatest need. The three data factors required by WIA for the
      Youth Activities state formula allotments are:

      (1) The number of unemployed for Areas of Substantial Unemployment (ASUs),
          averages for the 12-month period, July 2007 through June 2008, as prepared
          by the states using special 2000 Census data based on households, obtained
          under contract with the Census Bureau and provided to states by the Bureau
          of Labor Statistics (BLS);

      (2) The number of excess unemployed individuals or the ASU excess (depending
          on which is higher), averages for the same 12-month period as used for ASU
          unemployment data; and

      (3) The number of economically disadvantaged youth (age 16 to 21, excluding
          college students and military), from special 2000 census tabulations.

      While the total amount available for states is above the $1 billion threshold, the
      Recovery Act exempts the program from the additional minimum provisions
      required by that threshold as specified in WIA Section 127(b)(1)(C)(iv)(IV).
      Instead, as required by WIA, the JTPA section 262(a)(3) (as amended by section
      701 of the Job Training Reform Amendments of 1992) minimums of 90 percent
      hold-harmless of the prior year allotment percentage and 0.25 percent state

                                            5

      minimum floor are applicable. WIA also requires the application of a 130 percent
      stop-gain of the prior year allotment percentage. For purposes of the hold-
      harmless provision, the PY 2008 allotment percentages are used for the preceding
      year.

   B. Within-State Allocations. Youth Activities funds are to be distributed among
      local workforce investment areas (subject to reservation of up to 15 percent for
      statewide workforce investment activities) in accordance with the provisions of
      WIA Section 128 and according to the approved State Plan.

      For purposes of identifying ASUs for the within-state Youth Activities allocation
      formula, states should continue to use the special 2000 Census data based on
      households which was obtained under contract with the Census Bureau and
      provided to states in October 2006 by BLS. These data will continue to be used
      for this purpose until further notice. For purposes of developing the number of
      economically disadvantaged Youth Activities for the statutory formula, the
      special 2000 census data provided to states for the within-state Youth Activities
      allocations beginning in PY 2004 should continue to be used.

      States are to use the same reference periods for the data factors as described
      above and PY 2008 as the prior year hold-harmless, to be consistent with national
      office allotment distributions.

   C. Transfers of Funds. There is no authority for local workforce investment areas to
      transfer funds to or from the Youth Activities program.


6. State Adult Employment and Training Activities Funds: Title I Subtitle B --
   Chapter 5--Adult and Dislocated Worker Employment and Training Activities.

   A. State Allotments. The amount available for Adult Activities is $495,000,000 of
      which $493,762,500 is for states and $1,237,500 is for outlying areas. Attachment
      III shows the Adult Activities allotments. States are strongly encouraged to
      spend Recovery Act funding quickly and effectively. WIA funding for the WIA
      Adult program is considered to be PY 2008 funds and, therefore, must be
      expended by June 30, 2011.

      Even though the supplemental funds are part of the PY 2008 grant agreements,
      the allotment formulas use more recent unemployment data than that used for
      the PY 2008 allotments in order to more effectively distribute Recovery Act funds
      to those areas of greatest need. The three data factors required by WIA for the
      Adult state formula allotments are:

      (1) The number of unemployed for Areas of Substantial Unemployment (ASUs),
          averages for the 12-month period, July 2007 through June 2008, as prepared
          by the states using special 2000 Census data based on households, obtained

                                           6

      under contract with the Census Bureau and provided to states by the Bureau
      of Labor Statistics (BLS);

  (2) The number of excess unemployed individuals or the ASU excess (depending
      on which is higher), averages for the same 12-month period as used for ASU
      unemployment data; and

  (3) The number of economically disadvantaged adults (age 22 to 72, excluding
      college students and military) from special 2000 census tabulations.

  Since the total amount available for the Adult program for states is below the
  required $960 million threshold specified in WIA Section 132(b)(1)(B)(iv)(IV), the
  WIA additional minimum provisions are not applicable. Also, like the youth
  program, the provision applying the 130 percent stop-gain of the prior year
  allotment percentage was used. For purposes of the hold-harmless provision, the
  PY 2008 allotment percentages are used for the preceding year.

B. Within-State Allocations. Adult allotments are to be distributed among local
   workforce investment areas (subject to reservation of up to 15 percent for
   statewide workforce investment activities) in accordance with the provisions in
   WIA Section 133 and according to the approved State Plan.

  For purposes of identifying ASUs for the within-state Adult allocation formula,
  the special 2000 census data provided to states by BLS in October 2006 is to be
  used for census sharing until further notice. For purposes of developing the
  number of economically disadvantaged adults for the statutory formula, the
  special 2000 census data provided to states for the within-state Adult Activities
  allocations beginning in PY 2004 should continue to be used.

  States are to use the same reference periods for the data factors as described
  above and PY 2008 as the prior year hold-harmless, to be consistent with national
  office allotment distributions.

C. Transfers of Funds. WIA Section 133(b)(4) provides the authority for local
   workforce investment areas, with approval of the Governor, to transfer up to 20
   percent of the Adult Activities funds to Dislocated Worker Activities, and up to
   20 percent of Dislocated Worker Activities funds to Adult Activities. It should be
   noted that this is different than the 30 percent currently permitted for regular
   formula funds pursuant to prior year appropriation acts. Additionally, ETA
   does not anticipate granting waivers that would allow transfers above the 20
   percent. As will be described in the forthcoming planning guidance, the waiver
   to transfer more than 20 percent of local area funds between Dislocated Worker
   and Adult programs will not apply to Recovery Act funds.




                                       7

7. State Dislocated Worker Employment and Training Funds: Title I Subtitle B --
   Chapter 5--Adult and Dislocated Worker Employment and Training Activities.

  The amount available for the Dislocated Worker Activities program is $1,435,500,000,
  with $1,237,500,000 for states, $3,588,750 for outlying areas, and $194,411,250 for the
  National Reserve. States are expected to spend Recovery Act funding quickly and
  effectively. Recovery Act funding is considered to be PY 2008 funds and, therefore,
  must be expended by June 30, 2011.

   A. State Allotments. Attachment IV shows Recovery Act Dislocated Worker
      Activities fund allotments by state.

      The three data factors required in WIA for the dislocated worker state formula
      allotments are:

        (1) The number of unemployed, averages for the 12-month period, January
            2008 through December 2008;

        (2) The number of excess unemployed, averages for the 12-month period,
            January 2008 through December 2008; and

        (3) The number of long-term unemployed, averages for calendar year 2008.

   B. Within-State Allocations. Dislocated Worker Activities funds for the Recovery
      Act are to be distributed among local workforce investment areas (subject to
      reservation of up to 25 percent for statewide rapid response activities and up to
      15 percent for statewide workforce investment activities) in accordance with the
      provisions in WIA Section 133 and according to the approved State Plan.

   C. Transfers of Funds. WIA Section 133(b)(4) provides the authority for local
      workforce investment areas, with approval of the Governor, to transfer up to 20
      percent of the Adult Activities funds to Dislocated Worker Activities, and up to
      20 percent of Dislocated Worker Activities funds to Adult Activities. It should be
      noted that this is different than the 30 percent currently permitted for regular
      formula funds pursuant to prior year appropriation acts. Additionally, ETA
      does not anticipate granting waivers that would allow transfers above the 20
      percent. As will be described in the forthcoming planning guidance, the waiver
      to transfer more than 20 percent of local area funds between Dislocated Worker
      and Adult programs will not apply to Recovery Act funds.

8. Wagner-Peyser Act Final Allotments. The amount available for employment service
   grants totals $396,000,000. Within this amount $247,500,000 is designated for
   reemployment services (RES) to connect unemployment insurance claimants to
   employment and training opportunities that will facilitate their reentry to
   employment. Such funds shall remain available to the states for obligation through
   September 30, 2010, and must be expended by the end of PY 2010.

                                           8

  After determining the funding for outlying areas, allotments to states are calculated
  using the formula set forth at section 6 of the Wagner-Peyser Act (29 U.S.C. 49e).
  Formula allotments are based on each state’s share of calendar year 2008 monthly
  averages of the civilian labor force and unemployment. The distribution of Wagner-
  Peyser funds includes $395,034,690 for states, as well as $965,310 for outlying areas.
  Attachment V shows the distribution of Recovery Act amounts under the ES formula.

  Under section 7(b) of the Wagner-Peyser Act, ten percent of the total sums allotted to
  each state shall be reserved for use by the Governor to provide performance
  incentives, services for groups with special needs, and for the extra costs of
  exemplary models for delivering job services through the one-stop system.

9. Reporting.

   Financial Reporting for the Recovery Act Funds. For the WIA formula programs,
   states are required to track financial information separately for each of the funding
   streams. States will submit the standard ETA-9130 reports for statewide youth,
   statewide adult, statewide dislocated worker, statewide rapid response (Dislocated
   Worker Activities), local youth, local adult, and local dislocated worker activities.
    The ETA-9130 reports for Recovery Act funds will be due 10 days after the end of
   the quarter rather than the current 45 day requirement. States are also to submit the
   ETA-9130 report each quarter for the Wagner-Peyser Act funds. Final guidance on
   financial reporting will be issued under a separate document.

   Participant and Performance Reporting for the Recovery Act Funds. Accountability
   guidelines for the Recovery Act emphasize data quality, streamlining data
   collection, and collection of information that shows measurable program outputs.
   ETA is developing reporting guidelines that will minimize any new collection
   burdens. Final guidance on participant and performance reporting will be issued
   under a separate TEGL.

   To the extent that new information or reports are required for Recovery Act
   activities, ETA will seek OMB clearance through the Paperwork Reduction Act
   process.

10. Inquiries. Questions regarding these allotments and planning requirements may be
    directed to the appropriate Regional Office or to the ETA Recovery Act email
    address [email protected]. Information may also be found at the ETA Web site
    at www.doleta.gov.

       Workforce Investment Act (WIA) and Wagner-Peyser Act Statutory Formulas for State Allotments

                                                           Formula Descriptions
WIA Adult Activities
    Formula:
   1/3: State relative share of total unemployed in areas of substantial unemployment (ASU) (average 12 months ending 6/30)
   1/3: State relative share of excess unemployed (average 12 months ending 6/30)
   1/3: State relative share of economically disadvantaged youth (Census 2000)
    Minimums:
    (a) If total amount available for States is $960 million or less:
        State allotment cannot be less than
        (1) 90% of State relative share of prior year funding
        (2) 0.25% of total available funds for States
    (b) If total amount available for States exceeds $960 million:
        State allotment cannot be less than
        (1) 90% of State relative share of prior year funding
        (2) 1998 allotment amount
        (3) 0.3% of first $960 million plus 0.4% of amount over $960 million
    Maximum:
    130% of State relative share of prior year funding
WIA Youth Activities
   Same as Adult Activities, except
   (a) Formula uses economically disadvantaged YOUTH instead of ADULT
   (b) Threshold for selecting minimum provisions is $1 billion instead of $960 million, and was allotted as if the amount available
        did not exceed 1 billion per legislative language.
WIA Dislocated Workers
   Formula:
   1/3: State relative share of total unemployed (average 12 months ending 12/31)
   1/3: State relative share of excess unemployed (average 12 months ending 12/31)
   1/3: State relative share of long-term unemployed (average previous published calendar year)
   Minimum: none
   Maximum: none
Employment Service (Wagner-Peyser Act)
    Formula for 97% of funds:
          2/3: State relative share of civilian labor force (average 12 months ending 12/31)
          1/3: State relative share of total unemployment (average 12 months ending 12/31)
          Minimums:
               (a) 90% of State relative share of prior year funding
               (b) 0.28% of total available funds for States
          Maximum:
    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% portion will result in an amount equal to 100% 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% of their relative share of prior year funding.

                                                     Formula Data Factor Definitions

    ASU: contiguous areas with unemployment rate of 6.5% or more
    Excess unemployed: higher of:
      (1) excess unemployed (unemployment in excess of 4.5%) in ASU's; or
      (2) excess unemployed (unemployment in excess of 4.5%) in all areas
    Economically disadvantaged adults: individuals age 22-72 meeting (or member of family meeting):
      OMB poverty level or
       70% of lower living standard income level (LLSIL).
