EMPLOYMENT AND TRAINING ADMINISTRATION ADVISORY SYSTEM
U.S. DEPARTMENT OF LABOR, Washington, D.C. 20210
CLASSIFICATION: OWI
CORRESPONDENCE SYMBOL: OWI
DATE: March 30, 2006
TRAINING AND EMPLOYMENT GUIDANCE LETTER NO. 22-05
TO: ALL STATE WORKFORCE AGENCIES; ALL ONE-STOP CENTER SYSTEM LEADS
FROM: EMILY STOVER DeROCCO, Assistant Secretary
SUBJECT: Reallotment of Workforce Investment Act (WIA) Title I Formula-Allotted Funds for Dislocated Worker Activities
RESCISSIONS: [no entry printed]
EXPIRATION DATE: Continuing
1. Purpose. To provide adjusted funding levels for Program Year (PY) 2005 allotments for the dislocated worker program under WIA Title I Section 132(c) on recapture and reallotment.
2. References.
A. TEGL 23-04
B. Workforce Investment Act (Public Law 105-220) Section 132(c); 29 USC 2862(c)
C. 20 CFR 667.150
3. Background. On March 25, 2005, TEGL 23-04 provided states and outlying areas with WIA Title I Adult, Dislocated Worker, and Youth Activities allotments for PY 2005 and alerted states on the reallotment of funds as required under WIA Section 132(c). Under this section of WIA, the Secretary is required to conduct reallotment of excess unobligated WIA Adult and Dislocated Worker formula funds based on state financial reports submitted at the end of the prior program year. 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 2005 funds for Adult and Youth programs because in no case do PY 2004 unobligated funds exceed the statutory requirement of 20 percent of state allotted funds. For the Dislocated Worker program, a total of $239,605 will be recaptured in PY 2005 from two states and reallotted to the remaining states, as required by WIA Section 132(c).
4. Notice of Obligation (NOO) 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 Fiscal Year (FY) 2006 advance portion of the PY 2005 allotments which were issued in October 2005. Attached are tables displaying the net changes to PY 2005 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 making funds available between the state and local areas.
For reporting purposes, the recapture/reallotment amount must be reflected (decrease or increase) in the “Total Federal Funds Authorized” line of any affected FY 2006 WIA Financial Status Reports (Statewide Activities, Statewide Rapid Response, Local Dislocated Worker Program Activities, and Local Administration) 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 sections of the adjusted reports.
6. Action. 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.

ATTACHMENT C
Dislocated Worker State Formula
PY 2005 Reallotment Methodology
Source data: State WIA 6/30/05 financial status reports
Statewide Activities (plus State Administrative breakout)
Rapid Response Activities
Local Administration
Local Dislocated Worker Program
Dislocated Worker program = sum of:
Estimated Dislocated Worker portion of Statewide Activities (less State Administrative portion)
Rapid Response Activities
Estimated Dislocated Worker portion of Local Administration
Local Dislocated Worker program
Years covered: PY 2004 and FY 2005
Methodology for disaggregating Statewide Activities/Local Admin report data by program:
Statewide Activities – 15% Local Administration – 10%
Auth Fed NOO $ to State by pgm Prorated using reported Local Program Auth by program
less est Local Admin Auth by pgm
less rptd Local Pgm Auth by pgm
less rptd Rapid Response Auth (DW only)
Oblig Prorated using Statewide Auth est by pgm Considered 100% Obligated
Reallotment calculations:
(1) Each state’s total amount of state obligations of PY 2004 (including FY 2005) funds for the
Dislocated Worker (DW) program is calculated. State obligations are considered to be the total of
the estimated DW share of statewide activities obligations, Rapid Response obligations, 100% of
local DW program authorized, and 100% of estimated DW portion of local admin authorized. The
DW total unobligated balance is the DW 2004 allotment amount (adjusted for rescissions) less the
calculated total DW obligations. (Navajo Nation funds are added back to the New Mexico and
Arizona for reallotment purposes and treated like a local area.)
(2) Section 667.150 of the regulations provides that the recapture calculations exclude the reserve for
state administration. Data on state administrative amounts are not normally available on WIA
financial reports. Therefore, additional data on state administrative amounts included in the PY
2004 and FY 2005 Statewide Activities amounts authorized and obligated as of 6/30/05 are
requested from those states calculated to be potentially liable for recapture.
(3) In the preliminary calculation of states potentially liable for recapture, the DW portion of the state
administrative amounts authorized and obligated is estimated using the DW relative share of the
state allotment amounts for all programs (adjusted for rescissions). If a State provides actual DW
portions in revised reports, this data is replaces the estimates. Based on the additional requested data
submitted on revised reports, the DW total allotment for these states is reduced by the DW portion of
the state administrative amount authorized and the DW total obligations for these states are reduced
by the DW portion of the state administrative amounts obligated. These calculations are done
separately for PY 2004 and FY 2005.
(4) States (including those adjusted by State administrative data) with unobligated balances for
combined PY 2004/FY 2005 exceeding 20% of the combined PY2004/FY2005 DW allotment
(adjusted for rescissions) will have their DW 2005 funding reduced (recaptured) by the amount of
the excess.
(5) As calculated above, states with unobligated balances not exceeding 20% will receive a share of the
total recaptured amount based on their share of the total PY 2004/FY2005 DW allotments amount
(adjusted for rescissions) for all such states.
