3. Background. TEGL No.17-15, issued on April 5, 2016, announced PY 2016 WIOA state
allotments. Change 1, issued on November 21, 2016, informed the states of allotment
adjustments necessary due to the Continuing Appropriations Act, 2017, enacted on
September 29, 2016, which reduced the FY 2017 advance funds for WIOA Adult and
Dislocated Worker programs by 0.496 percent. Change 2, issued on March 8, 2017,
informed the states of additional allotment adjustments due to the enactment of the Further
Continuing Appropriations Act, 2017, which amended the reduction applicable to the FY
2017 “advance” funds for WIOA Adult and Dislocated Worker programs to 0.1901 percent.
This Change 3 to TEGL No. 17-15 informs states that the FY2017 “advance” funding for
PY2016 is further adjusted to restore the original levels contained in TEGL No. 17-15 for
the Adult and Dislocated Worker programs based on the enactment of the Consolidated
Appropriations Act, 2017 on May 5, 2017.
Note - The base portion (available July 1, 2016) of PY 2016 funding for Adult and Dislocated
Worker activities was not reduced based on the reductions discussed above, and is not
impacted by this restoration. Also, the WIOA Youth Activities funds (available April 1, 2016)
were not reduced.
The attached table notifies states/outlying areas of the amount of additional funding they will
receive.
Note: States have until June 30, 2017 to obligate 80 percent of their total restored PY 2016
Dislocated Worker allotment, or potentially face recapture of the difference in PY 2017. Any
recaptured funds would be deobligated from FY 2017 “advance” funds during PY 2017. In
other words, the Department will reallot PY 2017 Dislocated Worker formula funds among
States during PY 2017 based on State obligations of PY 2016 funds made during PY 2016.
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.
5. 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

* Pub. L. 115-31 (Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2017 ) restored the FY 2017 "Advance" funds to originally
appropriated levels. Previously, section 101 of Pub. L. 114-254 (Further Continuing Appropriations Act,
2017 ) enacted a 0.1901 percent reduction on such funds. Therefore, states are due to receive additional
funding from the FY 2017 "Advance" which was previously withheld under the Continuing Resolution. This
table contains only the amount of additional funding due to the states and outlying areas.
