2024 SCSEP national grantee allocations, Change 1
Summary ETA issued final program year 2024 allocations for Senior Community Service Employment Program national and set-aside grantees and explained grant amendments, optional requests, and revised policies. Grantees were asked to submit required documents within 30 days. TEGL 16-24 later rescinded this change, so these 2024 funding instructions are historical.

SUBJECT: Revisions to Training and Employment Guidance Letter (TEGL) 13-23,
Planning Guidance for New National Grantees and Set-Aside Grantees for
Remainder of Program Year (PY) 2024
1. Purpose. The purpose of this Training and Employment Guidance Letter (TEGL) is to
publish final allocations for SCSEP National grantees for PY 2024 and provide the
procedures for submitting Optional Special Requests and revised policies.
2. Action Requested. SCSEP National and Set-Aside grantees work with their Federal Project
Officer (FPO) and the Employment and Training Administration national office via
[email protected] to ensure all required documents have been submitted in
accordance with grant amendment procedures no later than thirty (30) days after publication.
3. Summary and Background.
a. Summary – This TEGL publishes final allotments for SCSEP services for competitive
National and Set-Aside grantee awards for the remainder of PY 2024, provides
information on amending grants impacted by transfers and swaps, and includes
instructions for submission of Optional Special Requests.
b. Background – ETA published TEGL 13-23 on May 10, 2024, which explained the
allotment formula and the funding available for PY 2024, provided complete PY 2024
funding to SCSEP State grantees, and provided initial funding for the first four months of
PY 2024 to incumbent SCSEP National and Set-Aside grantees prior to announcing the
results of the 2024 competition. This TEGL provides allotments for SCSEP National and
Set-Aside grantees for the remaining 8 months of PY 2024, totaling $203,156,244.
RESCISSIONS EXPIRATION DATE
TEGL 22-19, Change 1 June 30, 2025
TEGL 13-23
On September 20, 2024, the Secretary of Labor issued a press release announcing the
award of 22 grants to provide SCSEP services for the next four years. In prior
competition years, ETA has typically published a Change 1 to the allotment TEGL to
collect updated grant documents that reflect the final award amount resulting from the
competition. This year, ETA proceeded with grant issuance based on the information
submitted in the grant application. However, the Notice of Award (NOA) included a
Special Conditions page requesting that, within 30 days of receipt, grantees submit an
updated SF424, SF424A, and Budget Narrative based on the amount awarded in the
competition. This includes ensuring that the amount of matching funds is correct, and that
the Budget Narrative identifies intended sources of match. Grantees must follow these
instructions in the Special Conditions page of the NOA.
This TEGL provides instructions for circumstances under which grantees may be
required to revise and resubmit one or more such grant documents, as well as instructions
for submission of Optional Special Requests and other documents.
4. Instructions.
Incumbent (returning) grantees and new grantees must follow the instructions below to
determine which documents they are required to submit, as well as which documents they
may optionally submit.
a. SF-424 Application for Federal Assistance – New and incumbent grantees that have
made recent changes (i.e. since they submitted revised grant documents to satisfy the
NOA conditions) to their service areas based on participant swaps and/or transfers must
submit a revised SF-424 reflecting those changes in Item 14, “Areas Affected by
Project.” Additionally, any grantee that has not already submitted a revised SF-424 that
reflects the correct updated federal award amount, the required non-federal share of at
least 10 percent of the total cost, and the correct areas affected by the project in Item 14,
must do so by following standard grant amendment procedures. These documents must
be submitted as a grant amendment request, in order to resolve the Special Conditions
attached to the initial award. Grantees that have already submitted an updated SF-424
that reflects the correct funding information as described above do not need to resubmit
the form.
b. SF-424A Budget Information Form – Any grantee that has not already submitted a
revised SF-424A that reflects the correct updated federal award amount and correct
budget line-item amounts must do so by following standard grant amendment procedures.
These documents must be submitted as a grant amendment request, in order to resolve the
Special Conditions attached to the initial award. This includes grantees that need to
update the SF-424A as a result of a new or updated request for Additional Training and
Supportive Services (ATSS) per the instructions in Attachment III. Grantees that have
already submitted an updated SF-424A that reflects the correct information as described
above do not need to resubmit the form.
c. Budget Narrative – Any grantee that has not already submitted a revised Budget
Narrative that reflects the correct updated total federal award amount and aligns with the
correct budget line-item amounts on the updated SF-424A must do so by following
standard grant amendment procedures. These documents must be submitted as a grant
amendment request, in order to resolve the Special Conditions attached to the initial
award.
d. Termination, Grievance, and Individual Durational Limit (IDL) Policies –
• Incumbent grantees must submit reviewed and revised copies of Termination and
Grievance Policies that reflect current conditions and changes in host agencies,
subgrantees and grantee staff. Grantees should submit their current approved IDL
policy even if there are not changes.
• New grantees must submit Termination, Grievance, and IDL policies for DOL review
and approval. Please note that the request for an approved IDL policy must include
the chosen option, as well as a plan for transitioning participants from the program.
The grievance process must be consistent with the grantee SCSEP organization chart
and is either included or referenced in the termination and IDL policies.
• The SCSEP Individual Durational Limits Guide is available as a resource on
the Older Workers Community Page.
e. Optional Special Requests – As applicable, any new or incumbent grantee may submit
Optional Special Requests in accordance with the instructions in Attachment III.
Extension of Four-Month Awards:
ETA has issued a period-of-performance extension (to June 30, 2025) to incumbent national
grantees for the initial four-month grant awards that ETA issued in June 2024. The additional
time will allow these incumbent national grantees to more effectively comply with SCSEP
spending and match requirements and to continue to use any remaining funds for SCSEP
wages, services, and other allowable costs under the grant. No action is required for grantees
to make a formal request for these extensions; ETA processed them on or before October 31,
2024. Grantees received notification of those amendments.
Slot Allocations:
The following section of this TEGL provides guidance regarding how a grantee’s PY 2024
authorized positions relate to their overall grant funding for the year, given this year’s grant
funding is a mix of recaptured funds and regular appropriated funds. With this section, this
TEGL formalizes the guidance previously conveyed to grantees via email.
The first, four-month increment of funding that ETA awarded to incumbent grantees
included recaptured funds, while the post-competition, eight-month increment of funding did
not. The allocation methodology used to make final competitive allotments best represents
the post-competition slot allocations and established the correct intrastate award
proportionally between grantees for subsequent years’ funding in this new four-year grant
cycle.
ETA recognized that, based on the actual funding awarded, grantees most likely had small
differences between the authorized positions served and the authorized positions reflected in
the equitable distribution numbers in the Grants Performance Management System
(GPMS). To alleviate this issue, ETA has provided a new overall authorized position target
for each grantee that accounts for the total funding awarded through the four-month and
eight-month grants (see Attachment IV). SCSEP national grantees will serve the areas
awarded by the FOA and will guide enrollment based on the equitable distribution of slots in
each county. Grantees will manage their total enrollment to meet the authorized position
target and ensure that they spend the required portion of the grant on participant wages and
fringe benefits (PWFB). Grantees should still use GPMS equitable distribution reports to
identify patterns and track under- and over-service and work to serve all areas equitably.
In terms of impact on actual performance measures, in PY 2024, similar to prior competition
years, grantees will not receive goals for Service Level and Community Service – the two
SCSEP goals based on authorized positions. Therefore, these goals will not be evaluated
during the Grantee Performance evaluation for PY 2024.

described in TEGL No. 12-06 to determine and document participant eligibility.
Develop and implement methods to recruit minority populations to ensure at least
proportional representation in your assigned service area as listed in the latest
Minority Report.
Develop and implement strategies to recruit applicants who have priority of service as
defined in Older Americans Act section 518(b)(1)-(2) and by the VOW (Veterans
Opportunity to Work) to Hire Heroes Act of 2011.
Individuals with priority are those who:
▪ Are covered persons in accordance with the VOW (covered persons who are SCSEP-
eligible must receive services instead of or before all non-covered persons);
▪ Are 65 years or older;
▪ Have a disability;
▪ Have limited English proficiency;
▪ Have low literacy skills;
▪ Reside in a rural area;
▪ Have low employment prospects;

month period).
Attachment II
Modify the IEP as necessary to reflect other approaches to self-sufficiency, if it becomes
clear that unsubsidized employment is not feasible.
For participants who will reach the individual durational limit or would not otherwise
achieve unsubsidized employment, include a provision in the IEP to reflect other
approaches to self-sufficiency, transition to other services or programs.
Rotate participants to a new host agency (or a different assignment within the host
agency) based on a rotation policy approved by the Employment and Training
Administration (ETA) in the grant agreement and only after making an individualized
determination that the rotation is in the best interest of the participant. Such rotation
must further the acquisition of skills listed in the IEP.

training options that enable participants to increase their skill level and transition to
unsubsidized employment.
Comply with maintenance of effort: Ensure that community service assignments do not
reduce the number of employment opportunities or vacancies that would otherwise be
available to individuals who are not SCSEP participants. You must specifically ensure
that community service assignments do not:
▪ Displace currently employed workers (including partial displacement, such as a
reduction in non-overtime work, wages, or employment benefits).
▪ Impair existing contracts or result in the substitution of Federal funds for other
funds in connection with work that would otherwise be performed.
▪ Assign or continue to assign a participant to perform the same work, or

for persons employed in similar public occupations by the same employer) for time
spent in orientation, training, and community service assignments.
Participant Benefits
Provide workers' compensation, other benefits required by state or Federal law (such
as unemployment insurance), and the costs of physical examinations.
Provide compensation for scheduled work hours during which the participant’s host
agency is closed for Federal holidays, which may be paid or in the form of rescheduled
work time, and establish written policies related to this compensation.
Establish written policies relating to approved breaks in participation and any necessary
sick leave that is not part of an accumulated sick leave program.
Not use grant funds to pay the cost of pension benefits, annual leave, accumulated
sick leave, or bonuses.
Procedures for Payroll and Workers' Compensation
Make all required payments for participant payroll and pay workers'
compensation premiums on a timely basis.
Ensure that host agencies do not pay workers' compensation costs for participants.
Attachment II
Durational Limits
Maximum Average Project Duration - 27 Months
Maintain average project duration of 27 months or less, unless ETA approves an
extension to 36 months.
Maximum Individual Participant Duration - 48 Months

▪ Provision of false eligibility information by the participant
▪ Incorrect initial eligibility determination at enrollment
▪ Income ineligibility determined at recertification
▪ Participant has reached individual durational limit
▪ Participant has become employed while enrolled
▪ IEP-related termination
▪ Cause (must be approved by ETA prior to implementation)

ATTACHMENT III
Instructions for Senior Community Service Employment Program (SCSEP)
Optional Requests
Grantees that wish to make optional requests must submit each request in a separate, clearly-
titled document. To receive Employment and Training Administration (ETA) approval, requests
must adhere to the statute and regulations and provide a substantive rationale such as
improved program management, better service to participants, or least disruption possible to
participants.
1. Change 48-Month Individual Durational Limit (IDL) (20 CFR 641.570(a)(3))). (This
section is relevant only if you are requesting a change. Please do not submit a policy
unless it is changing.) To change your current IDL policy, you must request and
receive ETA approval for one of the IDL policies listed below. If a grantee changes the
current IDL policy to a more restrictive policy, it must have an effective date of at least
120 days after written approval from ETA. The SCSEP Individual Durational Limits
Guide is available as a resource on the Older Workers Community Page.
If you propose to change the existing IDL policy, you must describe:
(a) Your current, ETA-approved IDL policy and procedure.
(b) Which of the options below you propose to implement?
(i) Option 1: No extensions for any participants; all participants exit at 48 months.
(ii) Option 2: Extensions to every participant who meets at least one of the eight
waiver factors. Indicate the length of the extension (e.g., one-time twelve-
month only, unlimited, three times only).
(iii) Option 3: Extensions to every participant who meets a specific subset of the
eight waiver factors. The specific subset must be listed in the policy. Indicate the
length of the extension (e.g., one-time twelve-month only, unlimited, three
times only).
(c) A reasonable transition plan that addresses when and how you will notify participants
of the change, and the planned activities to prepare participants for exit from the
program.
2. Additional Funds for Participant Training and Supportive Services (ATSS) (Older
Americans Act (OAA), Section 502(c)(6)(C)). Note: In the past, ATSS requests were
required with the grant document submission at the beginning of each new program year.
To allow long-term strategic planning for use of ATSS funds, beginning in PY 2024, ETA
encourages grantees to consider submitting ATSS requests that span the duration of the
four-year cycle. This four-year approach remains consistent with the current SCSEP
regulations while allowing for greater continuity and less year-to-year planning burden for
grantees. This change will help grantees successfully support participants by providing
continuity of service offerings from year to year, promoting the stability of employment for
staff directly charged with implementing ATSS, and streamlining the annual ETA grant
review and approval processes. Prepare your Budget Narrative so that it is consistent with
your ATSS request. If ETA denies your request, you must resubmit a revised SF- 424A and
Budget Narrative. The OAA permits ETA to grant an exception to the 75 percent minimum
level of expenditures on participant wages and fringe benefits. This exception allows you to
use no less than 65 percent of program funds for participants' wages and fringe benefits so
that up to an additional 10 percent of funds are available for training and supportive services
that directly benefit participants. ATSS requests can include participant training activities,
supportive services, or a combination of both. In general, ETA expects that proposed
training components will provide training that prepares participants with skills relevant for
ATTACHMENT III
employment in in-demand jobs in their community. Further, ETA expects that proposed
supportive services components will supplement and enhance the supportive services
provided through primary grant funds, enabling more participants to mitigate, and overcome
financial and logistical barriers to SCSEP participation.
Instructions: If you wish to request the use of additional funds for training and supportive
services, you must provide a brief proposal according to the following instructions:
1) Identify the percentage of federal funds and the dollar amount that will be dedicated to the
training and/or supportive services (this is the "ATSS request" amount and must be less
than or equal to 10% of your federal grant funds).
2) Describe the activities for which you will spend the ATSS grant funds identified in item (a)
above, and describe how the proposed activities will improve the effectiveness of your
project, including, as applicable: i) How the activities will better prepare participants for
successful placement in unsubsidized employment in in-demand jobs, and how you
estimate the activities will improve employment outcomes for individuals served; and/or ii)
How the activities will better support participants in overcoming barriers to participating in
your SCSEP project.
3) Provide a proposed budget and work plan for the activities identified in item (b) above,
which must detail: i) The additional training and/or supportive services that will be provided
to SCSEP participants. ii) The associated cost for each activity, and the number of
participants who will benefit; and iii) Note that, consistent with 20 CFR 641.874(a)(3),
grantees must use ATSS funds to pay the wages for the hours that individual participants
spend in training funded under the ATSS request.
4) Describe how you will allocate ATSS funds among sub-recipients (if applicable). Grantees
with approved requests may choose to apply the provision uniformly to all sub-recipients but
need not provide this opportunity to every sub-recipient. If you choose not to apply the
provision uniformly to all sub-recipients, identify the amount of ATSS funding that you will
allocate to each sub-recipient.
5) Describe the impact of the ATSS request on overall service levels, specifically:
i) Please state if there will be displacement of eligible individuals or elimination of
positions for such individuals will occur; and
ii) Provide information on the number of such individuals to be displaced and of such
positions to be eliminated.
Important Considerations for ATSS Requests Please note the following important
considerations in submitting an ATSS request:
• Include ATSS costs in your overall grant budget request: In responding to the instructions
in this TEGL for submitting your PY 2024 grant documents, prepare your SF-424A and
Budget Narrative so that they are consistent with your ATSS request. Please ensure that
items described in the work plan under item (c) above are also included in the Budget
Narrative. In the event that ETA denies your ATSS request, you must resubmit a revised
SF-424A and Budget Narrative.
• Adhere to allowable training activities: Participant training costs under an ATSS request
may include, but are not limited to, the reasonable costs of instructors, classroom rental,
training supplies, materials, equipment, tuition, grant staff salaries and wages that directly
support the development, design, coordination, execution, and improvement of participant
training, and other costs that are directly related to participant training. Such training may be
ATTACHMENT III
provided on the job, in a classroom setting, in a virtual setting, or pursuant to other
appropriate arrangements. Note that such costs do not include activities such as general
staff development that relate to participant training only indirectly or tangentially.
• Adhere to allowable supportive services: Participant supportive services under an ATSS
request may include, but are not limited to, the payment of reasonable costs of
transportation, health and medical services, special job-related or personal counseling,
incidentals (such as work shoes, badges, uniforms, eyeglasses, and tools), child and adult
care, temporary shelter, follow-up services, and grant staff salaries and wages that directly
support the design, coordination, delivery, and improvement of supportive services.
• Assurances regarding programmatic funds: Through submission of an ATSS request,
consistent with 20 CFR 641.874(a)(4), you agree that any remaining grant funds (i.e., funds
other than those allocated for ATSS, participant wages and benefits, and administrative
costs) will be used for participant training, job placement assistance, participant supportive
services, and outreach, recruitment and selection, intake, orientation, and assessment. You
also agree that no ATSS funds may be used to pay for any administrative costs, consistent
with 20 CFR 641.874(a)(3).
3. Increase in Administrative Cost Limitations (20 CFR 641.870). (Approvals for this
option expire at the end of each program year--grantees must submit a new request for
approval each year to exercise this option. Prepare your Budget Narrative so that it is
consistent with your Administrative Cost Increase request. If ETA denies your request,
you must resubmit a revised SF-424A and Budget Narrative.) ETA will consider
requests to authorize an increase in the amount available for administrative costs from
13.5 percent to no more than 15 percent if: 1) we determine that it is necessary to carry
out the project; and 2) you demonstrate one of the following conditions:
a. Your project is incurring major administrative cost increases in necessary
program components (e.g., liability insurance, payments for workers'
compensation for staff, costs associated with achieving unsubsidized
placement goals, or other operation requirements imposed by the Department
of Labor);
b. The number of community service assignment positions or eligible minority
individuals participating in your project that will decline if the amount available for
paying the cost of administrative costs is not increased; or
c. The project size is so small that the amount of administrative expenses incurred to
carry out the project necessarily exceeds 13.5 percent of the grant amount.
4. Extension of Average Project Duration (20 CFR 641.570(c)(2)). (Approvals for this
option expire at the end of each program year--grantees must submit a new request for
approval each year in order to exercise this option.) Grantees must manage SCSEP
projects in such a way that the average participation length for participants does not
exceed 27 months. However, grantees may request permission from ETA to increase
the allowable maximum average project duration to 36 months. The request must:
(a) State your current average duration and estimate the average duration for the coming
program year.
(b) Describe your past, current, and planned efforts to achieve an average duration of 27
months.
(c) Describe the exceptional circumstances that warrant an extension to 36 months, as
set forth in the regulations, including one or more of the following conditions:
(i) High rates of unemployment, poverty, or participation in the program of block
grants to states for temporary assistance for needy families established under
part A of title IV of the Social Security Act, in the areas served by the grantee,
ATTACHMENT III
relative to other areas of the state or nation.
(ii) Significant downturns in the economy of an area served by the grantee or in the
national economy.
(iii) Significant numbers or proportions of participants with one or more barriers to
employment (including "most-in-need" individuals as described in 20 CFR
64l.710(g)) served by the grantee, relative to such numbers or proportions for
grantees serving other areas of the state or nation.
(iv) Changes in federal, state, or local minimum wage requirements; or
(v) Limited economies of scale for the provision of community service employment
and other authorized activities in the areas served by the grantee.
5. On-the-Job Experience (OJE) Training. (Approvals for this option expire at the end of
each program year--grantees must submit a new request for approval each year in
order to exercise this option.) If you wish to provide OJE, you must also provide a copy
of your OJE policy and sample contracts to ETA for approval before you can exercise
this option.
6. Cross-Border Agreements (20 CFR 641.515(c)). (Approvals for this option expire at the
end of each program year--grantees must submit a new request or approval each year
in order to exercise this option.) State grantees may enter into agreements to permit
cross-border enrollment of eligible participants. These agreements must cover both
state and national grantee authorized positions, and you must submit them to ETA for
approval.
7. Rotation Policy (20 CFR 641.575). (Approvals for this option expire at the end of each
program year--grantees must submit a new request for approval each year in order to
exercise this option.) You may establish a policy of rotating participants to a new host
agency or a different assignment within the current host agency. Your policy must
assure that you will make an individualized determination that a rotation is in the best
interest of the participant, and that rotation will further the acquisition of skills listed in
the participant's individual employment plan.
