3. Background. TEGL 18-15, Changes 1 and 2 provided the allocations and necessary
planning instructions for the current national grantees for the first and second quarters of PY
2016. This Change 3 contains the funding allocations, necessary planning instructions, and
procedures for requesting Optional Special Requests (OSR) for the third and fourth quarters of
PY 2016.
SCSEP funds are competitively awarded to national non-profit agencies and renewed annually
for four years (subject to annual appropriations), with an optional one-year extension. On
March 15, 2016, DOL announced the opening of a Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA)
for the national portion of SCSEP. ETA reopened the SCSEP FOA period through the closing
date of July 25, 2016, to help ensure adequate coverage of the necessary geographic areas and
associated participant slots, with an anticipated implementation date of January 1, 2017. ETA
announced the results of the 2016 competition on October 20, 2016.
To ensure sufficient time for grantees to effectively transition participants from one grantee to
another, particularly in light of the holiday season, ETA extended the implementation date to
February 1, 2017. Throughout this transition period, it is essential for grantees to continue to
provide vital program services for participants in order to minimize disruption. National
grantees who had an award during PY 2015 will continue SCSEP services through January 31,
2017. Successful awardees under the PY 2016 competition will begin providing services to
participants in newly awarded authorized positions on February 1, 2017, which is the effective
date for all participant transfers.
4. Overall Approach. ETA issued new grants to current national and set-aside grantees for
the first and second quarters of PY 2016 to continue services to their currently authorized
positions in their current areas. Current grantees have received prorated funding for January 1-
31, 2017 through a modification (Attachment A). Funding for the remainder of PY 2016
(February 1- June 30, 2017) was allocated based on the results of the grant competition as
announced on October 20, 2016 and according to the allotment table in Attachment B. All
current national grantees received awards under the PY 2016 competition, along with four new
national grant awardees. The current grantees had their PY 2016 grants further modified to
reflect the funding and authorized positions awarded under the competition, covering the time
period from February 1-June 30, 2017. The modification documents provided by the Grant
Officer included additional details and instructions for submitting revised grant documents to
reflect the actual awarded funding amounts. The four newly awarded national grantees
received new grants covering the date of award through June 30, 2017. As noted above, these
grantees will begin services to participants in their awarded authorized positions on February 1,
2017.
ETA issued instructions to grantees for requesting additional funding to support transition
activities during the period prior to February 1, 2017. This funding is limited and may only be
used for essential administrative cost items related to transition activities. The Grant Officer
will issue any modifications adding additional transition funding if approved.
5. Notice of Award (NOA). The Grant Officer has issued NOAs modifying the current
national grantees’ PY 2016 grants with allocation amounts for the third and fourth quarters of
PY 2016. The Grant Officer has also issued NOAs to the four new grantees with allocation
amounts for February 1- June 30, 2017.
6. PY 2016 Program Allotments. There are two program allotment attachments for funding
amounts and authorized positions. Attachment A is for the funding amounts and authorized
positions for January 1- 31, 2017. Attachment B is for the funding amounts and authorized
positions for the remaining five months covering February 1 – June 30, 2017, including all
approved position swaps. Grantees must submit modification requests for any such changes in
slot allocations.
7. Action Requested. The NOA from the Grant Officer specified conditions for grantees to
submit specific documentation, including submitting Optional Special Requests (OSR). See
Attachment C for specific instructions on submitting OSRs. Current and new national grantees
must submit the documentation and any additional documentation for OSRs 30 days from the
receipt of the NOA. However, any prior approved OSRs that were in effect during the first and
second quarters can remain in effect through January 31, 2017. If a grantee wishes to add or
change any OSRs for the month of January 2017, they will need to submit this documentation
two weeks after the publication of this TEGL to be reviewed and approved.
Please note, all grantees (current and new) must request any OSR needed for February 1-June
30, 2017 as specified in the NOAs, along with all applicable documentation.
8. Inquiries. Please direct questions regarding these allotments to the appropriate Federal
Project Officer. Information on the allotments and planning requirements may also be found in
the FOA, available at http://www.grants.gov/web/grants/view-
opportunity.html?oppId=285373.

PY 2016 OPTIONAL SPECIAL REQUESTS
January 1-31, 2017 funding period: Optional Special Requests (OSR) already approved for PY 16

period.
February 1-June 30, 2017 funding period: There is no carry-over of OSR’s from previous PY16
approvals. Therefore, any OSR’s for the remainder of PY16 must be requested in accordance with the
instructions in each grantee’s November 2016 Notice of Award (NOA).
Instructions:
Grantees must submit each request in a separate, clearly titled document. 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. Any optional special request
submitted at this time must provide an appropriate timeline and budget for the remainder of PY 2016.
1. Change 48-Month Individual Durational Limit (IDL) Waiver Options – 20 CFR 641.570(b).

or at the beginning of the grant year) To change your current IDL policy, you must request and
receive Departmental approval for one of the following IDL policies, as described in SCSEP
regulations at 20 CFR 641.570 (b). If you are changing your policy to make it more restrictive, it
must have an effective date of at least 120 days after written approval.
If you propose to change your existing IDL policy, you must describe:
a) Your currently approved IDL policy.
b) Which of the options below you propose to adopt:
i. Option 1: No extensions to any participants; all participants exit at 48 months.
ii. Option 2: Extensions to every participant who meets at least one of the seven waiver
factors; there can be a limit to the number of times any participant can receive a
twelve-month extension.
iii. Option 3: Extensions to every participant who meets a specific subset of the seven
waiver factors; there can be a limit to the number of times any participant can receive
a twelve-month extension.
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) – 20 CFR 641.874
(Note that this request must be submitted 90 days before the proposed date of implementation, with
the Department acting on the request at least 30 days before the implementation date.) The 2006
Amendments to the OAA and 20 CFR 641.874 permit an exception to the 75 percent minimum level
of expenditures on participant wages and fringe benefits. This exception allows you to use not less
than 65 percent of program funds for participant’s wages and fringe benefits, so that up to an
Attachment C
additional 10 percent of funds are available for training and supportive services that directly benefit
participants.
If you wish to request the use of additional funds for training and supportive services for the third
and fourth quarters of PY 2016, you must provide:
a) A description of the activities for which the grantee will spend the grant funds
described in paragraphs (a)(3) and (a)(4) of 20 CFR 641.874;
b) Description of how the provision of such activities will improve the effectiveness of
the project, including:
o An explanation of whether any displacement of eligible individuals or
limitation of positions for such individuals will occur.
o Information on the number of individuals to be displaced and of
positions to be eliminated.
o Clarification of how the activities described will improve employment
outcomes for the individuals served.
c) A proposed budget and work plan for the activities, including a detailed description of
how the funds will be spent on the activities described in paragraphs (a)(3) and (a)(4)
of 20 CFR 641.874. The budget and work plan should detail both the additional
training and support services that will be provided to SCSEP participants and the
associated cost for each activity. Please ensure that items discussed in the work plan
are included clearly in the budget and the budget narrative and that the funds
requested will also be used to pay wages for those participants who are engaged in
this training. If we do not approve this optional special request, you will need to
submit a revised SF424A and budget narrative to reflect costs without this waiver.
d) Grantees with approved requests for ten percent additional funds may choose to apply
the provision unilaterally for all sub recipients, or to individual sub-recipients but
need not provide this opportunity to all their sub recipients. If the grantee applies this
provision to its sub recipients, the grantee should provide a detailed description on
how the funds will be allocated and include a detailed budget and work plan for each
sub recipient, if it is not applying the provision unilaterally.
3. Increase in Administrative Cost Limitations – 20 CFR 641.870. The Department may authorize
an increase in the amount available for administrative costs to not more than 15 percent, as described
in 20 CFR 641.870, if it determines that it is necessary to carry out the project, and if you
demonstrate one of the following:
a) You are incurring major administrative cost increases in necessary program components.
b) The number of community service assignment positions or eligible minority individuals
participating in the project will decline if administrative costs are not increased.
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 project funding.
4. Extension of Average Project Duration – 20 641.570(c). The maximum average project duration
based on overall participation is 27 months, but you may request permission from the Department to
increase your maximum average project duration to 36 months, as described in 641.570(c). Your
request must include:
Attachment C
a) A statement of your current average duration and an estimate of your average duration for the
coming program year.
b) A description of your efforts to achieve an average duration of 27 months.
c) The exceptional circumstances that warrant an extension to 36 months, as set forth in the
regulations:
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 you, relative to other areas of the
state or nation;
ii. Significant downturns in the economy of an area served by you 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
641.710(a)(6)) served by you, 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 you.
5. On-the-Job Experience (OJE) Training Option – 20 CFR 641.540(c). If you wish to use OJE
described in 20 CFR 641.540(c), you must meet the requirements stipulated in Older Worker
Bulletin 04-04. You must provide a copy of your OJE policy and sample contracts to the Department
for approval before you can exercise this option.
6. Rotation Policy - 20 CFR 641.575. You may establish a policy of rotating participants to a new
host agency or a different assignment within the current host agency, but must submit that policy to
the Department for approval, as described in 20 CFR 641.575. You must assure that you will make
an individualized determination that a rotation is in the best interest of the participant, and that it will
further the acquisition of skills listed in the individual employment plan (IEP).
