FROM: EMILY STOVER DeROCCO, 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) 2002 allotments for the dislocated worker program under WIA Title I Section 132(c) on recapture and reallotment.
2. References.
- A. TEGL 13-01, dated March 15, 2002, and TEGL 26-01 Dated May 14, 2002.
B. Workforce Investment Act (Public Law 105-220).
3. Background. TEGL 13-01, Workforce Investment Act Allotments for Program Year (PY) 2002; Wagner Peyser Act Preliminary Planning Estimates for PY 2002; Reemployment Services Allotments for PY 2002; Workforce Information Grants to States for PY 2002; and TEGL 26-01, Advance Notice of Revised PY 2001 Allotments for Dislocated Worker Activities advised states that reallotment of funds among states will occur during PY 2002 based on obligations of PY 2001 funds as of the end of PY 2001. There were no recapture and reallotment of WIA funds in PY 2001.
WIA section 132(c) requires the Secretary to conduct reallotment of dislocated worker formula funds based on state financial reports as of the end of the prior program year. The procedures the Secretary uses for recapture and reallotment of funds are described in WIA regulations at 20 CFR Section 667.150. We will not recapture any PY 2002 funds for Adult and Youth programs because in no case do PY 2001 state unobligated funds exceed the statutory requirement of 20 percent of the state total PY 2001 allotted funds. For the dislocated worker program, a total of $2,867,639 of PY 2002 funds will be recaptured from four states and reallotted to the remaining states, as required by WIA Section 132(c).
RESCISSIONS: [none listed]
EXPIRATION DATE: Continuing
------------- -----------------
4. Notice of Obligation (NOO) Adjustment.Notices of Obligation and Deobligation for the state will be issued to reflect the recapture and reallotment of these funds. The adjustment of funds will be made to the FY 2003 advance portion (October 1 to June 30) of the PY 2002 allotments that were issued in October 2002. Attached are tables displaying the net changes to the PY 2002 and the FY 2003 advance portion 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 state and local areas, so states have flexibility to determine the methodology to be used. Instead, WIA Section 132(c)(5) does require that the Governor prescribe equitable procedures for making funds available from the state and local areas in the event that the state is required to make funds available for reallotment.
For reporting purposes, the recapture/reallotment amounts must be reflected (decrease or increase) in the "Total Federal Funds Authorized" line of any affected FY 2003 WIA Financial Status Reports (Statewide Activities, Statewide Rapid Response, Local Dislocated Worker Program Activities, 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 Required.State Liaisons are requested to provide this guidance letter to the appropriate WIA staff.
7. Inquiries. Direct questions regarding the revised allotments to the appropriate Regional Office.

less rptd Rapid Response Auth (DW only)
Oblig Prorated using Statewide Auth est by pgm
Reallotment calculations:
(1)Each State=s obligated balance of PY 2001 (including FY 2002) 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
2000 allotment amount 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 provide that the reallotment calculations exclude the reserve for State
administration. Therefore, additional data on State administrative amounts included in the PY 2001 and FY
2002 Statewide Activities amounts authorized and obligated as of 6/30/02 are obtained (not normally
available on WIA financial reports) from the States potentially liable for recapture.
(3)For those States potentially liable for recapture, the DW portion of the State administrative amounts
authorized and obligated is estimated using the DW estimated relative share of the Statewide authorized
amount (above methodology. The DW total allotment for these States is reduced by the estimated DW
portion of the State administrative amount authorized and the DW total obligations for these States are
reduced by the estimated DW portion of the State administrative amounts obligated. These calculations
are done separately for PY 2001 and FY 2002.
(4)States (including those adjusted by State administrative data) with unobligated balances for combined PY
2001/FY 2002 exceeding 20% of the combined PY2001/FY2002 DW allotment will have their DW 2002
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 2001/FY2002 DW allotments for all such States.
