ADVISORY: TRAINING AND EMPLOYMENT GUIDANCE LETTER NO. 16-17,
CHANGE 1
TO: STATE WORKFORCE AGENCIES
ALL STATE WORKFORCE LIAISONS
FROM: MOLLY E. CONWAY /s/
Acting Assistant Secretary
SUBJECT: Revised Fiscal Year (FY) 2019 Advance Funding Levels Available October
2018 for Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) Adult and
Dislocated Worker (DW) Program Allotments
1. Purpose. This guidance provides states with revised allotment levels for WIOA Adult and
DW FY 2019 funds, which became available to states in October 2018. This Change 1 to
Training and Employment Guidance Letter (TEGL) 16-17 restores the set-aside for
evaluations to the funding available to states in October 2018.
2. Action Requested. The Department of Labor (DOL) is requesting that each state and
outlying area submit an SF-424 form for each grant program (Adult and DW) to the
Employment and Training Administration (ETA) via www.grants.gov within 30 calendar
days from the issue date on this TEGL.
3. Summary and Background.
a. Summary – This Change 1 to TEGL 16-17 informs states that the FY 2019 “advance”
funding for PY 2018 is adjusted to restore the set-aside for evaluations for the Adult
and DW programs. Division H, Title I, sec. 107 of the Consolidated Appropriations
Act, 2018, allows the Secretary of Labor (Secretary) to set aside a portion of the Adult
and DW grant funds for evaluations. The Department has decreased the amount of
funds it plans to set aside for this purpose and has restored the remaining funding to the
State allotments. The base portion (available July 1, 2018) of PY 2018 funding for
Adult and DW activities was not impacted by this restoration. Also, the WIOA Youth
Activities funds (available April 1, 2018) were not affected.
The attached tables notify states/outlying areas of the amount of revised funding they
will receive.
RESCISSIONS EXPIRATION DATE
None Continuing
Note: States have until June 30, 2019, to obligate 80 percent of their total restored PY
2018 DW allotment. As provided in 20 CFR 683.135, if a state does not obligate 80
percent of their total restored PY 2018 DW allotment, the Department will recapture
the excess unobligated funds up to the 80 percent threshold from PY 2019 funds.
Specifically, any recaptured funds would be deobligated from FY 2020 “advance”
funds during PY 2019.
b. Background – TEGL 16-17, issued on May 21, 2018, announced Program Year (PY)
2018 WIOA state allotments.
4. Notice of Award (NOA). The Department will issue NOAs reflecting the restoration of
funds to the Adult and Dislocated Worker programs. In order to receive the funding, states
and outlying areas must submit an SF-424, Application for Federal Assistance (Office of
Management and Budget Control No. 4040-0004) for each program (Adult and DW) that
reflects the restoration amounts prescribed in the “10/1/2018 (FY 2019)” column of the
“Revised PY 2018 Allotment with Restoration” section in Attachments I and II.
5. SF-424 Submission Process.
In an effort to achieve greater efficiency and as part of the Department’s on-going effort to
streamline the grant award process, grantees are required to submit the SF-424 through
Grants.gov at www.grants.gov.
Applicants that need to register with Grants.gov may do so here:
https://www.grants.gov/web/grants/applicants/apply-for-grants.html. Registration is a one-
time process, and applicants who already have a Grants.gov account do not need to register
again.
To submit the required application package, applicants must:
a. Select the SEARCH GRANTS tab on the Grants.gov homepage.
b. Under the Section, BASIC SEARCH CRITERIA, enter the Funding Opportunity
Number: TEGL 16-17.
c. Select the link to the applicable Opportunity Number provided in the search results.
d. Select the PACKAGE tab.
e. Under the ACTIONS column, select APPLY.
Submission requirements stipulate that all applicants for Federal grant and funding
opportunities must have a Data Universal Numbering System (D-U-N-S®) number and must
supply their D-U-N-S® number on the SF-424.
Before submitting their application, applicants must also ensure their registration with the
System for Award Management (SAM) is current. Applicants may find instructions for
registering with SAM at https://www.sam.gov/portal/SAM/#1. An awardee must maintain
an active SAM registration with current information at all times that it has an active Federal
award or an application under consideration. To remain registered in the SAM database after
the initial registration, entities 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 the application submission.
Submitting the SF-424 through www.grants.gov constitutes an electronically signed SF-424,
Application for Federal Assistance. This submission process may at times be complicated
and time-consuming. As such, the Department strongly encourages applicants to initiate the
process as soon as possible, in order to allow time to resolve unanticipated technical
problems.
For technical issues encountered during application submission, applicants may call
800-518-4726 or 606-545-5035 to speak to a Customer Support Representative, or email
[email protected]. The Contact Center is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week, but
closes on federal holidays. Attachment III provides more detailed instructions for
submitting an application through www.grants.gov.
6. Inquiries. Please direct questions regarding these allotments to the appropriate ETA
Regional Office. Information on allotments and planning requirements may also be found on
the ETA Web site at http://www.doleta.gov.

Attachment III — Additional submission instructions
Attachment III:
Additional Submission Instructions
The following is provided as additional instruction beyond what is already available on the
www.grants.gov website. In the event you encounter a problem with www.grants.gov and do
not find a resolution in any of the other resources, call 1-800-518-4726 or 606-545-5035 to
speak to a Customer Support Representative, or email [email protected].
The process can be complicated and time-consuming. You are strongly advised to initiate
the process as soon as possible and to plan for time to resolve technical problems. Note that
validation does not mean that your application has been accepted as complete or has been
accepted for review by the agency. Rather, Grants.gov only verifies the submission of
certain parts of an application.
a. How to Register to Apply through Grants.gov
Read through the registration process carefully before registering. These steps may
take as much as four weeks to complete, and this time should be factored into plans for
timely electronic submission in order to avoid unexpected delays that could result in
the rejection of an application.
Applicants must follow the online instructions for registration at
https://www.grants.gov/web/grants/applicants/organization-registration.html. We
recommend that you prepare the information requested before beginning the
registration process. Reviewing and assembling required information before
beginning the registration process will alleviate last-minute searches for required
information and save time.
An application submitted through Grants.gov constitutes a submission as an
electronically signed application. The registration and account creation with
Grants.gov, with E-Biz POC approval, establishes an Agency Organizational
Representative (AOR). When an application is submitted through Grants.gov, the
name of the AOR that submitted the application is inserted into the signature line of
the application, serving as the electronic signature. The EBiz POC must authorize the
individual who is able to make legally binding commitments on behalf of your
organization as the AOR; this step is often missed and it is crucial for valid
submissions.
b. How to Submit an Application to DOL via Grants.gov
Grants.gov applicants can apply online using Workspace. Workspace is a shared,
online environment where members of a grant team may simultaneously access and
edit different webforms within an application. For a complete workspace overview,
refer to: https://www.grants.gov/web/grants/applicants/workspace-overview.html.
For access to complete instructions on how to apply for opportunities, refer to:
https://www.grants.gov/web/grants/applicants/apply-for-grants.html.
When a registered applicant submits an application with Grants.gov, an electronic time
stamp is generated within the system when the application is successfully received by
Grants.gov. Grants.gov will send the applicant AOR an email acknowledgement of
receipt and a tracking number (GRANTXXXXXXXX) with the successful
transmission of the application, serving as proof of their timely submission. The
applicant will receive two email messages to provide the status of the application’s
progress through the system.
• The first email will contain a tracking number and will confirm receipt of the
application by Grants.gov.
• The second email will indicate the application has either been successfully validated
or has been rejected due to errors.
Grants.gov will reject applications if the applicant’s registration in SAM is expired.
Only applications that have been successfully submitted by the deadline and later
successfully validated will be considered. It is your sole responsibility to ensure a
timely submission. While it is not required that an application be successfully
validated before the deadline for submission, it is prudent to reserve time before the
deadline in case it is necessary to resubmit an application that has not been
successfully validated. Therefore, enough time should be allotted for submission (24-
48 hours) and, if applicable, additional time to address errors and receive validation
upon resubmission (an additional two business days for each ensuing submission). It
is important to note that if enough time is not allotted and a rejection notice is received
after the due date and time, DOL will not consider the application.
To ensure consideration, the components of the application must be saved as .doc,
.docx, .xls, .xlsx, .rtf or .pdf files. If submitted in any other format, the applicant bears
the risk that compatibility or other issues will prevent DOL from considering the
application. We will attempt to open the document, but will not take any additional
measures in the event of problems with opening.
We strongly advise applicants to use the various tools and documents, including
FAQs, which are available on the “Applicant Resources” page at
https://www.grants.gov/web/grants/applicants/applicant-faqs.html.
We encourage new prospective applicants to view the online tutorial, “Grant
Applications 101: A Plain English Guide to ETA Competitive Grants,” available
through WorkforceGPS at:
https://strategies.workforcegps.org/resources/2014/08/11/16/32/applying-for-eta-
competitive-grants-a-web-based-toolkit-for-prospective-applicants-438?p=1.
To receive updated information about critical issues, new tips for users, and other
time-sensitive updates as information is available, you may subscribe to “Grants.gov
Updates” at https://www.grants.gov/web/grants/manage-subscriptions.html.
If you encounter a problem with Grants.gov and do not find an answer in any of the
other resources,
• call 1-800-518-4726 or 606-545-5035 to speak to a Customer Support
Representative or
• email [email protected].
The Grants.gov Contact Center is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week. However, it
is closed on Federal holidays. If you are experiencing difficulties with your
submission, it is best to call the Grants.gov Support Center and get a ticket number.
