SUBJECT:        Workforce Investment Act (WIA) Adult, Dislocated Worker and
                Youth Activities Program Allotments for Program Year (PY) 2014; Final PY
                2014 Allotments for the Wagner-Peyser Act Employment Service (ES) Program
                Allotments; and Workforce Information Grants to States Allotments for PY
                2014

1. Purpose. To provide States and outlying areas with revised WIA Adult and Dislocated
   Worker PY 2014 program allotments, which became available to states in October 2014.
   The Change 1 to TEGL 18-13 revised the funding available to states on October 2014 to
   reflect the 0.0554 percent reduction enacted in the short-term Continuing Appropriations
   Resolution for FY 2015. This change 2 to TEGL 18-13 rescinds the 0.0554 percent
   reduction and fully restores appropriated original funding.

3. Background. TEGL 18-13, issued April 3, 2014, announced PY 2014 WIA state allotments.
   The Change 1 TEGL informed the states of allotment adjustments necessary due to
   Continuing Appropriations Resolution 2015, H.J. Res 124, enacted September 19, 2014,
   (henceforth referred to as the “Continuing Resolution”). Although neither the WIA Youth
   Activities funds nor the base (or July 2014) portion of funding for Adult and Dislocated
   Worker activities were impacted, the Continuing Resolution did reduce the FY 2015 advance
   funds (available October 2014) for the WIA Adult and Dislocated Worker programs by
   0.0554 percent.

   On December 16, 2014, President Obama signed into law the Consolidated and Further
   Continuing Appropriations Act of 2015, which funds the federal government through
   September 30, 2015. This Act did not contain the 0.0554 percent reduction included in the
   Continuing Resolution, or other rescission. Therefore, FY 2015 advance funding for PY
   2014 is restored to the original levels contained in TEGL 18-13. This Change 2 TEGL
   informs the states of the restoration of the original appropriated allotment levels for PY 2014.
   The restoration of funds was completed in February and revised allotment levels are listed in
   the attachments to this TEGL for informational purposes.

4. Notice of Obligation (NOO). The Department issued NOOs with the new FY 2015 advance
   amounts for the Adult and Dislocated Worker programs in February 2015.

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.
