TO: STATE WORKFORCE AGENCIES

FROM: JANE OATES /s/
Assistant Secretary
SUBJECT: Reallotment of Workforce Investment Act (WIA) Title I Formula-Allotted
Funds for Dislocated Worker Activities
1. Purpose. To provide adjusted funding levels for Program Year (PY) 2010 allotments for the
Dislocated Worker program under WIA Title I Section 132(c) on recapture and reallotment.
2. References.
Department of Labor Appropriations Act, 2010, Division D of Title I of the Consolidated
Appropriations Act, 2010, Public Law (PL) 111-117, December 17, 2009 (Fiscal Year
(FY) 2010 Appropriations Act)
Training and Employment Guidance Letter (TEGL) 19-09, “Workforce Investment Act
Adult, Dislocated Worker and Youth Activities Program Allotments for PY 2010; Final
Wagner-Peyser Act Employment Service Program Allotments for PY 2010; and Workforce
Information Grants to States Allotments for PY 2010”
Workforce Investment Act (Public Law 105-220) Section 132(c); 29 United States Code
2862(c)
Secretary’s Reallotment Procedures, 20 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 667.150
3. Background. In the FY 2010 Appropriations Act, Congress appropriated WIA PY 2010
funds in two portions: 1) funds available for obligation July 1, 2010 (i.e. PY 2010 “base”
funds), and 2) funds available for obligation October 1, 2010 (i.e. FY 2011 “advance” funds).
Together, these two portions comprise the complete PY 2010 WIA allotment. TEGL 19-09
announced WIA allotments based on this appropriation and alerted states to the recapture and
reallotment of funds’ provisions, as required under WIA Section 132(c). Under this section
of WIA, the Secretary is required to conduct reallotment of excess unobligated WIA Adult,
Youth, and Dislocated Worker formula funds based on state financial reports submitted at the
end of the prior program year (i.e. PY 2009).
RESCISSIONS EXPIRATION DATE
None Continuing
The procedures the Secretary uses for recapture and reallotment of funds are described in the
WIA regulations at 20 CFR 667.150. We will not recapture any PY 2010 funds for Adult and
Youth programs because there are not any cases where PY 2009 unobligated funds exceed
the statutory requirements of 20 percent of state allotted funds. For the Dislocated Worker
program, however, there were two states that had unobligated PY 2009 funds in excess of 20
percent. Therefore, a total of $408,982 will be recaptured from PY 2010 funding from these
two states and reallotted to the remaining states, as required by WIA Section 132(c).
4. Notice of Obligation Adjustment. Notices of Obligation and Deobligation for the states
will be issued to reflect the recapture and reallotment of these funds. The adjustment of
funds will be made to the FY 2011 advance portion of the PY 2010 allotments, which were
issued in October 2010. Attached are tables displaying the net changes to PY 2010 formula
allotments and a description of the reallotment methodology.
5. Procedures and Reporting. Neither WIA statutory language nor WIA regulatory language
provides specific requirements by which states must distribute recaptured funds among states
and local areas, so states have flexibility to determine the methodology to be used.
For any state from which funds are being recaptured, WIA Section 132(c)(5) requires the
governor to prescribe equitable procedures for reacquiring funds from the state and local
areas.
As mentioned in Section 4 of this TEGL, the recapture/reallotment will apply to the FY 2011
advance portion of the PY 2010 allotment. Therefore, for reporting purposes, the
recapture/reallotment amount must be reflected (decrease or increase) in the “Total Federal
Funds Authorized” Line of any affected FY 2011 WIA 9130 Financial Status Reports (State
Dislocated Worker Activities, Statewide Rapid Response, Local Dislocated Worker
Activities) in a manner consistent with the method of distribution of these amounts to state
and local areas used by the state. An explanation of the adjustment should be included in the
remarks section of the adjusted reports.
6. Action Requested. This guidance letter should be distributed to the appropriate WIA staff.
7. Inquiries. Questions regarding the revised allotments should be directed to the appropriate
Regional Office.

Dislocated Worker State Formula
Program Year (PY) 2010 Reallotment Methodology
Reallotment Summary:
This year, the Employment and Training Administration (ETA) analyzed State Workforce Investment Act
(WIA) Dislocated Worker 9130 financial reports from the 6/30/10 reporting period for PY 2009 to determine
if any state had unobligated funds in excess of twenty percent of their PY 2009 allotment amount. If so, that
amount will be recaptured from PY 2010 funds and realloted among eligible states.
Source Data: State WIA 9130 Financial Status Reports
Programs: State Dislocated Worker
State Rapid Response
Local Dislocated Worker (includes local administration)
Period: June 30, 2010
Years Covered: PY 2009
Reallotment Calculation Process:
1. Determine the unobligated balance: In order to accomplish this, ETA computes the state’s total amount of
PY 2009 state obligations (including FY 2010 funds) for the Dislocated Worker (DW) program. State
obligations are the sum of DW statewide activities obligations, Rapid Response obligations, and 100
percent of local DW program funds (which includes funds for local administration). The state’s total
unobligated balance for the DW program is the 2009 DW allotment amount, minus the total DW
obligations. (Note: for re-allotment purposes, DW allotted funds transferred to the Navajo Nation are
added back to Arizona, New Mexico, and Utah local DW authorized amounts).
2. Excluding state administrative costs: Section 667.150 of the regulations provides that the recapture
calculations exclude the reserve for state administration, which is part of the DW statewide activities.
Data on state administrative amounts authorized and obligated are not reported on WIA 9130 financial
reports. In the preliminary calculation to determine states potentially liable for recapture, the DW portion
of the state administrative amount authorized is estimated by calculating the five percent maximum
amount for state DW administrative costs using the DW state allotment amounts. For the DW portion of
the state administrative amount obligated, 100 percent of the estimated authorized amount is treated as
obligated.
3. Follow-up with states potentially liable for recapture: ETA requests that those states potentially liable for
recapture provide additional data on state administrative amounts included in the PY 2009 and FY 2010
Statewide Activities amounts (authorized and obligated as of 6/30/10). If a state provides actual state DW
administrative costs, authorized and obligated, in the comments section of revised 9130 reports, this data
replaces the estimates. Based on the requested additional actual data submitted by potentially liable states
on revised reports, the DW total allotment for these states is reduced by the DW portion of the state
administrative amount authorized. Likewise, the DW total obligations for these states are reduced by the
DW portion of the obligated state administrative funding.
4. Those states (including those adjusted by actual state administrative data) with unobligated balances
exceeding 20 percent of the combined PY2009 DW allotment amount will have their PY 2010 DW
funding (from the FY 2011 advance portion of PY 2010 DW funding made available in the FY 2010
Appropriations Act) reduced (recaptured) by the amount of the excess.
5. Finally, states with unobligated balances which do not exceed 20 percent (eligible states) will receive a
share of the total recaptured amount (based on their share of the total PY 2009 DW allotments of eligible
states) in their PY 2010 DW funding (the FY 2011 advance portion of PY 2010 DW funding made
available in the FY 2010 Appropriations Act).
