It also corrected the adult age range used in one economically disadvantaged data factor. Two attachments give revised amounts; Change 3 later restored the advance allotments, and ETA lists Change 1 as Canceled.

SUBJECT: Fiscal Year (FY) 2017 Advance Funding Levels Available October 2016 for
Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) Programs and Correction
to the Adults Age Range for the Economically Disadvantaged Data Factor
1. Purpose. This guidance provides states with revised allotment levels for WIOA Adult and
Dislocated Worker FY 2017 funds, which became available to states in October 2016. This
Change 1 to TEGL 17-15 revises the funding available to states on October 2016 to reflect
the 0.496 percent reduction enacted in the short-term Continuing Appropriations Act for FY
2017 that was enacted on September 29, 2016 and corrects the Adults age range for the
economically disadvantaged data factor.

3. Background. TEGL 17-15, issued on April 5, 2016, announced PY 2016 WIOA state
allotments. This Change 1 TEGL informs the states of recent allotment adjustments
necessary due to the Continuing Appropriations Act, 2017, enacted on September 29, 2016,
(henceforth referred to as the “Continuing Resolution”). The Continuing Resolution reduced
neither the WIOA Youth Activities funds (available April 1, 2016) nor the base portion
(available July 1, 2016) of funding for Adult and Dislocated Worker activities. However, the
Resolution did reduce the FY 2017 advance funds for WIOA Adult and Dislocated Worker
programs by 0.496 percent. States’ Adult and Dislocated Worker FY 2017 advance
allotments were reduced by slightly more than 0.496 percent (about $5,000 on every $1M)
because states absorbed the reduction associated with the evaluation funds transferred to the
Department’s Chief Evaluation Office (see attachment for revised allotment levels). Please
see the Background section on page 2 of TEGL 17-15 for an explanation of the funds
transferred to the Department’s Chief Evaluation Office.
In addition, this Change 1 TEGL corrects the Adults age range for the economically
disadvantaged data factor in the second paragraph under A. State Allotments in section 5.
State Adult Employment and Training Activities Funds: Title I--Chapter 3--Adult and
Dislocated Worker Employment and Training Activities. In accordance with section
132(v)(I) of WIOA, for the purposes of allotments, the term ‘‘adult’’ means an individual
who is not less than age 22 and not more than age 72. The age range correction is shown in
bold in the following sentence.
The three formula data factors for the Adult Activities program are the same as those used
for the Youth Activities formula, except the Department used data for the number of
economically disadvantaged Adults (age 22 to 72, excluding college students in the
workforce and military).
4. Notice of Award (NOA). The Department will issue a NOA with the new FY 2017 advance
amounts for the Adult and Dislocated Worker programs. Because ETA will take into
account the reduction when the NOA is issued, the states need take no further accounting
actions.
5. Possibility of a Rescission to FY 2017 Funding. It is possible that the final appropriation
for FY 2017 will contain a rescission greater than the 0.496 percent reduction to the Adult
and Dislocated Worker Advance funding.
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.
