TRAINING AND EMPLOYMENT GUIDANCE LETTER NO. 26-07

TO:           ALL SENIOR COMMUNITY SERVICE EMPLOYM PROGRAM
              (SCSEP) GRANTEES

FROM:         BRENT R. ORRELL /s/
              Acting Assistant Secretary

SUBJECT:      Program Year 2008 Planning Instructions and Allotments for All
              SCSEP Grant Applicants

1. Purpose. The purpose of this guidance is to provide all SCSEP grant
   applicants with application instructions and procedures for Program Year
   (PY) 2008, beginning July 1, 2008.

2. Reference. The following references may be used for additional information:
   2006 Older Americans Act (OAA) Amendments, Pub. L. 109-365, 42 USC 3056
   et. seq., 20 CFR 641; SCSEP Performance Accountability Interim Rule, 72
   Federal Register 35831 (June 29, 2007); Training and Employment Guidance
   Letter (TEGL) 4-07.

3. Background. The United States Department of Labor (DOL) decided to
   streamline the grant planning instructions in order to achieve a more efficient
   grant application and review process for PY 2008. DOL has developed a list
   of Programmatic Assurances, as delineated in Attachment C, that will enable
   applicants to certify their conformance with standard grant requirements by
   check mark. As a result, the narrative requirements have been substantially
   reduced from prior PYs, thus relieving applicants of the unnecessary burden
   of restating standard grant requirements.

4. New Approach for Narrative. For PY 2008, DOL chose a targeted approach
   to narrative requirements. It will only require narratives from all applicants
   in certain critical subject areas that are universally essential for effective grant


 RESCISSIONS:                                           EXPIRATION DATE: Continuing

                                         2


   operation and that can vary significantly from grantee to grantee (see
   Attachment B). The Employment and Training Administration (ETA) has
   critical policy objectives in some of these areas, and grantees are asked to
   address these objectives as well. ETA will also require individual narratives
   from any applicant that has special requests in one or more of the following
   areas: 1) a waiver to use up to an additional 10 percent of grant funds for
   additional training and supportive services; 2) a request for an increase in the
   amount available for administrative costs from 13.5 to 15 percent; 3) a request
   to impose a lower durational limit for participants than the statutory 48-
   month limit; 4) a request to utilize the on-the job-experience training option;
   and 5) any request for cross-state border agreements to permit cross-state
   border enrollment of eligible participants. (See Attachment D)

5. Regional Innovation, Economic Competitiveness, and the SCSEP. ETA
    policy and strategic priorities continue to reflect the vital role that regional
    economies play in innovation and economic growth. In regional economies
    across the country, employers are placing an increasing emphasis on hiring
    older workers; this focus will only increase in the future as employment
    opportunities expand and current workers retire. ETA continues to
    encourage applicants to support the WIRED framework by preparing SCSEP
    participants for employment opportunities in industries and occupations that
    are important in the regions in which they are providing SCSEP. Preparing
    SCSEP participants for these positions helps support the continued health of
    regional economies, while ensuring that participants have the skills they need
    to enter and remain in the labor market. There are several strategies that
    SCSEP grantees can utilize to help participants pursue these employment
    opportunities, including identifying key occupations for SCSEP participants
    in identified industries in the regions in which they are providing services
    and placing participants in these positions once they are ready to enter the
    labor market. The narrative instructions ask grantees to describe regions in
    which they will implement SCSEP, and identify specific ways in which their
    strategies will be aligned with key industries and occupations in their
    regions.

6. Grant Application Procedures. All SCSEP grant applicants must submit a
    grant application package in order to be funded. The Grant Officer will not
    approve a grant application for funding that fails to provide any of the
    required information outlined in this guidance. Attachments to this guidance
    provide detailed instructions.

   A complete grant application package must contain the following:

   • A narrative in accordance with Attachment B;

                                          3



     • Programmatic Assurances (Attachment C); and

     • A signed SF-424 Form, Application for Federal Assistance and an SF-424A
       Form with a detailed budget narrative. (Attachment G)

     If an applicant has a special request(s) as referenced in Section 4, an
     individual narrative(s) to support such request(s) must be submitted. (See
     Attachment D.)

     Grantees should not include updated manuals and operating procedures in
     the application submission. SCSEP Federal Project Officers (FPOs) may
     request these under separate cover. (See Attachment I.)

     The Grant Officer will incorporate the Programmatic Assurances in the grant
     agreement when the grant is returned to the applicant for signature.

7.    Grant Application Intergovernmental Reviews. In accordance with Section
     502(d) of the OAA as amended in 2006 (the 2006 OAA Amendments),
     applicants must share applications on an intrastate basis and provide
     appropriate Area Agencies on Aging (AAAs) with copies of the SF-424,
     Application for Federal Assistance, including a summary of the project
     locations and an explanation of the services that the applicant will provide in
     each state. In addition, state applicants should follow procedures established
     by Executive Order 12372, which implements the Single Point of Contact
     (SPOC) system, unless the state SPOC has waived this requirement.
     Applicants should include documentation supporting these requirements
     with the grant application.

8. PY 2008 Program Allotments. See Attachment H for funding levels and
   authorized positions.

9. Method of Submission. Applicants must submit hard copy applications via
   overnight delivery and must provide an original and one copy of each
   document in the grant application package. Applicants must also submit
   electronic copies of their applications to
   [email protected] and to their SCSEP FPOs.

10. Eligibility Review/Responsibility Review/Grant Application Review.
    DOL will conduct a pre-award eligibility review, responsibility review, and
    grant application review as provided at Section 514 of the 2006 OAA
    Amendments and 20 CFR 641.430-440 of the current regulations. The
    Department will not designate applicants as grantees for PY 2008 if they:

                                          4



   • Fail to meet the eligibility tests of Section 514(c) of the 2006 OAA
     Amendments and criteria as provided at 20 CFR 641.430 of the current
     regulations; or

   • Fail to meet the responsibility tests of Section 514(d) of the 2006 OAA
     Amendments and criteria as provided at 20 CFR 641.440 of the current
     regulations; or

   • Fail to submit an application that meets the requirements of the statute and
     this TEGL.

11. Performance Improvement Plans (PIPs). In the interests of continuous
    improvement and to help support grantees’ efforts to provide the highest
    level of service provision to participants, grantees will be asked to submit
    PIPs if ETA projects that they will not meet all of their performance goals
    and/or are projected to fall below a standard rate for data quality. PIPs will
    be required for these selected grantees for failure to meet one or more of six
    measures and data quality requirements, based on analysis to be conducted
    in May 2008. (See Attachment E.) PIPs will be submitted separately from this
    application and are due June 30, 2008, after DOL conducts the Quarter (Q)
    three analysis of all grantees performance and negotiates final goals for PY
    2008. PIPs must be approved and incorporated into the PY 2008 grant
    agreement by September 30, 2008.

12. Schedule. Applicants must comply with the following timetable:

   • Provide the SF-424 and SF-424A Grant Application forms and narrative to
     the State Office on Aging and the Area Agencies on Aging no later than the
     date of submission to the Department of Labor/ETA, Division of Adult
     Services; and

   • The PY 2008 grant application, with the exception of any required PIP,
     must be submitted to the Unites States Department of Labor, Employment
     and Training Administration, Office of Workforce Investment, Division of
     Adult Services no later than May 16, 2008. However, applicants are
     encouraged to submit their applications as soon as possible.

   Complete application packages must be transmitted by overnight delivery to:

             Ms. Alexandra Kielty
             Division of Adult Services
             U.S. Department of Labor

   As indicated in Section 8 of this issuance, electronic copies of the complete PY
   2008 grant application package must also be transmitted to the appropriate
   SCSEP FPO and to [email protected]. PIPs, if required,
   must be submitted electronically to the appropriate SCSEP FPO and to
   [email protected]. PIPs must be submitted no later than
   June 30, 2008.

ATTACHMENT B
                     NARRATIVE INSTRUCTIONS


This attachment contains detailed instructions for the completion of a grant
narrative. PLEASE READ EACH SECTION OF THE NARRATIVE
INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY. NO GRANT WILL BE RECOMMENDED FOR
FUNDING THAT FAILS TO PROVIDE THE INFORMATION REQUIRED BY
THIS GUIDANCE.

FORMAT

Applications must be submitted to the National Office in hard copy, with an e-
copy to [email protected] and the appropriate regional FPO.
The text of the application must be double-spaced with one-inch margins at the
top, bottom, right, and left sides. Pages must be numbered. DOL permits the
use of graphs, maps, and tables, but these must be properly labeled. In addition
to using the required section headings, DOL encourages applicants to use brief
topic headings for paragraphs in the text. The narrative may not exceed 20 pages
in length, excluding all attachments (including Geographic Areas to be Served).

CONTENT

Content guidelines for the narrative are discussed in the following sections. The
content must be concise and relevant. This is consistent with DOL’s targeted
approach for PY 2008, limiting application requirements to those subject areas
that are critical to each applicant.

NARRATIVE

This section requires information from the applicant about the activities of the
grant and the methods and procedures that the applicant will use to implement
grant operations.

Provide a description of each area, grant function, or activity, as appropriate.
You must provide adequate descriptions for the reviewer to ascertain how you
will implement the grant.

ALL APPLICANTS MUST PROVIDE A NARRATIVE FOR THE FOLLOWING
SUBJECT AREAS:



                                                                                   1

(1) Geographic Areas to Be Served. List the cities and counties where you
   will conduct the grant. Include the number of SCSEP authorized positions
   that you will establish in each jurisdiction. For those applicants
   with a project located in a city but also serving surrounding counties (or
   other jurisdictions), the authorized positions for the surrounding
   counties/jurisdictions must be listed as well. Please indicate where the
   Department has changed authorized positions from the prior year. Also
   include a list of how many slots are filled and the number that are vacant.
   This information must be submitted in an Excel spreadsheet as a separate
   attachment.

(2) Regional Economic Overview. Use up-to-date information to provide
   an overview of the labor market and economic landscape of the regions in
   which you will implement your SCSEP grant. Your overview should
   identify industries that are growing in these regions, have high levels of
   total employment, or are otherwise important to the success of the
   economies of these regions, and labor market information for specific
   occupations in those industries that offer career opportunities for SCSEP
   participants. For those occupations that offer career opportunities for
   SCSEP participants, please identify the total number of current jobs as
   well as the total number of projected jobs. If you are a national grantee
   and serve states or multi-state areas with more than three regions or if
   you are a state grantee serving multiple regions, you only need to provide
   this information for three of the regions in your service area. These
   applicants are only asked to provide information for three regions in their
   application given the limited time available to prepare this document.
   However, applicants must complete this regional economic overview for
   each region in which they will implement their SCSEP grant, and must
   use this analysis to help guide them in their provision of SCSEP services.
   Supporting documentation, such as detailed data, can be submitted as a
   separate attachment.

(3) 20 CFR 641.535(a)(4), Assignment to Community Service Employment
   Activities In Host Agencies. Describe how participants will be assigned
   to community service employment activities and receive training that will
   prepare them for unsubsidized employment. Include such factors as:

   (a) Types of community service employment activities that you will
       emphasize in assigning participants and why and how they were
       chosen, including their value to the community;




                                                                             2

   (b)How you ensure that community service employment assignments are
      linked to participants’ assessments and IEPs;

   (c) Describe how you work with host agencies to develop community
       service employment assignments that provide participants with
       training in skills which they need to pursue employment
       opportunities; and

   (d) Discuss how you ensure that community service employment
       assignments help prepare participants for employment opportunities
       in the regional economy.

(4) 20 CFR 641.545, Supportive Services. Describe the supportive services
    that you will offer to help participants obtain and retain an unsubsidized
    job. Identify the supplier(s) of these services. Identify the criteria for
    determining when participants get supportive services, including after
    obtaining unsubsidized employment.

(5) Placement and Retention Strategies. Describe your strategies for
    placing participants into unsubsidized employment. Please describe the
    following:

     (a) Specific strategies for placing participants in industries and
         occupations in your regional economy, including industries and
         occupations that are important to the success of the regional
         economy;

     (b) Occupations on which you will focus that have established career
         pathways, and a brief description of the key steps in those career
         pathways;

        entered the labor market.

(6) Collaboration and Leveraged Resources. Describe how you will
    collaborate with other organizations to maximize opportunities for
    SCSEP participants to obtain workforce development, education, and
    supportive services and to help them move into unsubsidized
    employment. Identify key partners with whom you will collaborate,
    and the specific services and/or resources that these organizations offer


                                                                                3

      that you will utilize. Specifically describe your strategies for developing
      partnerships and the nature of your collaboration with Workforce
      Investment Boards and One-Stop Career Centers. Other partners could
      include vocational rehabilitation providers, basic education and literacy
      providers, and community colleges. As part of your description,

    must include a detailed description of its efforts to enroll minority
    individuals and to ensure that minority participants achieve outcomes
    similar to those achieved by non-minority participants. Applicants
    must also describe factors that have affected their enrollment of
    minorities and the outcomes of minorities, and if there has been any
    change in enrollment levels or outcomes during PY 2007, to what those
    changes are attributed.

(8)   Organizational Structure, Monitoring and Audits.

      (a) Describe your organizational structure:
          • Identify the key staff involved in the grant, and briefly identify
             their primary responsibilities and the amount of time they are
             assigned to the grant;
          • Include an organizational chart depicting the key staff that are
             involved in the grant (this can be included as an attachment); and
          • Indicate if you have sub-recipients or local affiliates
             implementing the grant. If you do have sub-recipients or local
             affiliates implementing the grant, include a chart or table
             indicating who they are, where they are located, the number of
             authorized positions for which they are responsible, and if they
             have experience implementing SCSEP.

      (b) Provide the dates of your most recent monitoring and audit reports.




                                                                                4

ATTACHMENT D
                        SPECIAL REQUESTS


ANY APPLICANT THAT HAS SPECIAL REQUESTS IN ONE OR MORE OF
THE FOLLOWING AREAS MUST SUBMIT SUCH REQUESTS AND ANY
SUPPORTING DOCUMENTATION AS A SEPARATE ATTACHMENT(S) TO
THEIR PY 2008 APPLICATION.

(1) Older Americans Act Section 502(c)(6)(C), Additional Funds for Participant
    Training and Supportive Services. Any applicant that wishes to request
    such additional funds must provide the specific information listed in
    this section. In addition, any applicant that requests these additional funds
    for participant training and/or supportive services should not submit a
    separate budget narrative for these activities. Instead, their application’s
    detailed budget narrative should identify the specific training and/or
    supportive service activities that they intend to provide to participants if
    their request is accepted. Costs associated with this request should also be
    included in their SF 424 and 424A. (See Attachment F.)

   The 2006 Amendments permit an exception to the 75 percent minimum level
   of expenditures on participant wages and fringe benefits that allows grantees
   to request to use not less than 65 percent of program funds for wages,
   benefits, and other costs, so that up to an additional 10 percent of funds are
   available for training and supportive services for the direct benefit of
   participants. As required in Section 502(C)(6)(C)(IV), applicants interested
   in seeking this waiver must provide a work plan that includes the following:

   (a) A detailed description of the additional training and supportive services;

   (b) An explanation of how such activities will directly benefit participants,
       improve the effectiveness of the project and employment outcomes for
       individuals served;

   (c) A sequence and timeline for these activities;

   (d) If applicable, an explanation concerning whether any displacement of
       eligible individuals or elimination of positions for such individuals will
       occur, information on the number of such individuals to be displaced
       and of such positions to be eliminated; and

   (e) The performance measures that are expected to be improved by
       expenditure of additional funds and the amounts by which each


                                                                                    1

        measure is expected to improve.

(2) 20 CFR 641.870, Increase in Administrative Cost Limitations. DOL may
    authorize an increase in the amount available for
    administrative costs to not more than 15 percent if it determines that it is
    necessary to carry out the project, and the applicant demonstrates that:

   (a) It is incurring major administrative cost increases in necessary program
       components; or

   (b) The number of employment positions in the project or the number of
       eligible minority individuals participating in the project will decline if the
       amount available for paying the cost of administration is not increased; or

   (c) The size of the project is so small that the amount of administrative
       expenses incurred to carry out the project necessarily exceeds 13.5 percent
       of the amount for such project.

       General statements that costs have increased do not constitute adequate
       justification. The applicant must identify which costs have increased, why
       they have increased, and how these costs relate to program operations.

 (3) OAA Sec. 518 (a)(3)(B)(i), Reduced Maximum Duration of Program
     Participation. If an applicant wishes to impose a maximum duration of
     program participation of less than 48 months, it must request permission
     from the Department to do so in a separate attachment. Any such
     durational limit must be uniformly applied to all participants served by all
     of the applicant’s local projects.

 (4) On-the-Job Experience (OJE). If an applicant wants to utilize On-the-Job
     Experience as an additional training option, it must meet the requirements
     delineated in Older Worker Bulletin 04-04. DOL must approve the On-the-
     Job Experience training option in the grant application before the grantee
     may exercise this option.

 (5) 20 CFR 641.500(b), Cross-Border Agreements. State applicants may
     enter into agreements to permit cross-border enrollment of eligible
     participants. Such agreements must cover both state and national
     grantee slots and must be submitted for approval by the Department.




                                                                                    2

ATTACHMENT E
         PERFORMANCE IMPROVEMENT PLAN REQUIREMENTS

A Performance Improvement Plan (PIP) is required in the following instances:

• For five measures (community service, entered employment rate, retention,
  average earnings, and service level), a PIP is required for each measure in
  which the applicant is projected to achieve less than 100 percent of its PY 2007
  goal based on the Quarter Three PY 2007 baseline analysis;

• For the most in need measure, because PY 2007 is a baseline year, a PIP is
  required if the baseline performance is below 100 percent of the nationwide
  baseline; and

• For data quality, a PIP is required for any grantee whose rejected record rate
  for the Quarter Three PY 2007 baseline analysis exceeds 2.5 percent of all
  records submitted.

The Department will conduct the analysis to determine which grantees must
submit PIPs in May 2008 based on the Quarter Three PY 2007 baseline analysis.
Applicants must submit PIPs to the Department by June 30, 2008. Federal Project
Officers (FPOs) will then formally review and approve the PIPs, which will be
incorporated into the PY 2008 grant agreements by September 30, 2008. Grantees
that have produced improvement plans as a result of attending the PY 2007
Regional Technical Assistance sessions may update those plans with the
approval of their FPO and submit them as PIPs.

Each PIP must start with a diagnosis of the current baseline performance and an
explanation for the failure to obtain the expected level of performance. The plan
must also describe in detail the action steps that the applicant will take to ensure
that it meets its PY 2008 goal for the measure by addressing each of the barriers
to good performance identified in the diagnosis section. If an applicant is
required to submit a PIP for one or more measures, the applicant must indicate
whether data issues are involved and, if so, how it will:

• Eliminate rejected records; and
• Ensure timely and accurate entry of all data into the SCSEP Performance and
  Results Quarterly Progress Report System (SPARQ) each quarter.

The applicant should address any and all of the following factors that are
relevant to its performance on a given measure. For any PIP, grantees may
reference specific provisions of their narrative in Attachment B or factors already
discussed in a PIP for another measure without repeating the complete text of the


                                                                                   1

reference. Grantees must also explain how their improvement efforts for a given
measure will not have negative consequences for performance on other
measures.

Based on a diagnosis of performance, address the following factors that are
relevant for each measure, below:

(1) Community Service. Indicate what steps you will take to:
    (a) Enroll a sufficient number of participants;
    (b) Assign participants on average to 20 hours of community service per
        week;
    (c) Reduce process time between assignments;
    (d) Limit leaves of absence to those that are necessary and in accordance with
        grantee policies and ensure that leaves are of no longer duration than is
        appropriate to the circumstances;
    (e) Enter leaves of absence into SPARQ; and
    (f) Enter complete and accurate data on total paid hours into SPARQ each
        quarter.

(2) Entered Employment Rate. Indicate what steps you will take to:
  (a) Complete all Follow-up 1s at the start of the reporting quarter;
  (b) Increase the percent of total exiters exiting for unsubsidized employment.
      This requires a detailed explanation of:
       • the applicant’s approach to assessing the job readiness of participants
           and their barriers to employment;
       • the drafting and implementation of Individual Employment
           Plans(IEPs) that focus on helping the participant acquire the needed
           skills;
       • the initial community service employment assignment;
       • new IEP-driven community service employment assignments as
           participants acquire needed skills; and
       • the use of additional training, including On-the-Job Experience, to
           assist participants to become job-ready.
   (c) Help participants find new jobs within the quarter after the exit quarter if
       their first job does not last into the quarter after the exit quarter;
   (d) Track participants who were close to job ready but who exited for other
       reasons to help them obtain employment during the activity period;
   (e) Provide active case management follow-up for participants throughout
       the entire 15-month follow-up period;
   (f) Develop an employer relations plan that is tied to the regional economy
       and occupations in demand and that targets those local employers most
       likely to hire SCSEP participants;



                                                                                  2

   (g) Recruit host agencies that can offer training assignments that reflect skills
       in demand in the regional economy;
   (h) Recruit host agencies that can offer a variety of training assignments that
       addresses the skill needs identified in participants’ IEPs;
   (i) Recruit new host agencies that have the potential (budgets and turnover)
       to hire participants and establish an expectation that they will do so as
       their budgets permit;
   (j) Make appropriate use of the right of return or re-enrollment within 90
       days; and
   (k) Address any other barriers that are affecting performance.

(3) Retention. Indicate what steps you will take to:

   (a) Complete all Follow-up 2s at the start of the reporting quarter;
   (b) Provide active case management follow-up for participants throughout
       the entire 15-month follow-up period;
   (c) Determine whether an employed participant needs supportive services
       and provide any needed services;
   (d) Ensure that initial placements are appropriate for the participant’s skill
       level, interests, and special needs;
   (e) Help participants find new jobs within the second and third quarters after
       the exit quarter if their first job does not last into these quarters; and
   (f) Make appropriate use of the right of return or re-enrollment within 90
       days.

(4) Average Earnings. Indicate what steps you will take to:

   (a) Complete all Follow-up 2s for all relevant employers at the start of the
       reporting quarter;
   (b) Provide active case management follow-up for participants throughout
       the entire 15-month follow-up period;
   (c) Determine whether an employed participant needs supportive services
       and provide any needed services;
   (d) Help participants find new jobs within the second and third quarters after
       the exit quarter if their first job does not last throughout these quarters;
   (e) Help participants find jobs with higher starting wages or negotiate future
       wage increases;
   (f) Encourage participants to find full-time work or work with sufficient
       hours to provide self-sufficiency; and
   (g) Track data on a regular basis to predict likely outcomes. Identify what
       specific data fields you will track and how you will do so.




                                                                                       3

(5) Service Level. Indicate what steps you will take to:

   (a) Maintain a robust exit rate that is IEP-driven;
   (b) Manage duration in program based on IEPs;
   (c) Develop and implement a written recruitment plan that does not rely on
       the applicant’s traditional sources of recruitment. The recruitment plan
       must also be tied to the applicant’s regional economic overview and
       specifically to the labor market analysis. New community partnerships
       and increased program visibility must be addressed. Relevant sections of
       this application may be specifically referenced and need not be repeated
       here if adequately covered elsewhere; and
   (d) Maintain a waiting list and reduce the time it takes to fill an open position.

(6) Most in Need. Indicate what steps you will take to:

   (a) Regularly determine when a participant has a new waiver factor;
   (b) Regularly review the characteristics of participants to identify where
       participants are not reflective of the local population or of
       SCSEPparticipants nationwide, which ever comparison group is more
       appropriate;
   (c) Develop and implement a written recruitment plan that focuses on
       recruiting participants with the priorities of service that will help the
       applicant meet its goal;
   (d) Maintain a waiting list of participants with barriers to employment; and
   (e) Ensure that participants with barriers to employment are given priority in
       enrollment.

(7) Data Collection and Reporting.
    Any applicant that had a rejected record rate of more than 2.5 percent of all
    records submitted based on the Q3 PY 2007 analysis of baseline
    performance must submit a plan to reduce its rejection rate to 2.5 percent or
    less. The plan should address any and all of the following factors that are
    relevant to the data collection and reporting issue:

     (a) The steps the grantee will take to train grantee and sub-grantee staff in
         the proper use of the Data Collection Handbook, the SPARQ Users
         Guide, the Enrollment Data Quality Problems (EDQP) function and the
         Data Quality Report (DQR) to avoid and detect errors;
     (b) The data accuracy standard that the grantee requires of all of its sub-
         grantees;
     (c) The steps it is taking to ensure that all sub-grantees achieve that
         accuracy standard, and the consequences for a sub-grantee that fails to
         achieve the accuracy standard; and


                                                                                     4

(d) For Non-Web Data Collection System (Non-WDCS) users that had a
    rejected record rate of more than 2.5 percent, the steps that they are
    taking at the grantee level to ensure quality control of the data
    submitted to SPARQ.




                                                                             5

Section B – Budget Categories

Consistent with the program year 2007 budget instructions, in section B of the
SF-424A applicants must not identify how grant funds are budgeted by
functional area (such as participant wages and fringe benefits), but instead
should note the total amount of funds for each object class category (e.g.
personnel, fringe benefits, travel). Section B should include costs for both grant
funds and the non-Federal share provided, and costs should only appear in
column 1 (and not in columns 2 – 4).

Lines 6a through 6h, Column 1. Show the estimated amount of funds for each
direct object class category. All costs to be incurred under contracts or sub-
grants should be reflected in line 6f (Contractual). For the purposes of this
budget, costs associated with participant wages and fringe benefits should be
categorized the following ways:



                                                                                     2

•   When a participant has a community service employment assignment at the
    grantee’s facilities and is considered an employee of the grantee, then
    participant wage costs should be listed in “Personnel” and fringe benefits in
    “Fringe Benefits”
•   When a participant has a community service employment assignment at a
    host agency or sub-recipient’s facilities, but is considered an employee of the
    grantee, then participant wage costs should be listed in “Personnel” and
    fringe benefits in “Fringe Benefits”

Make no entries.

Section E - Budget Estimates of Federal Funds Needed for Balance of Project

Make no entries.

Section F - Other Budget Information

Line 21 - Direct Charges. In the space provided type “A detailed budget narrative
is attached.”

A detailed budget narrative is required with the grant application package. The
detailed budget narrative should reflect the SF-424A, with information presented
by line item and category. Applicants must provide detail for all line items, and
should show costs to be incurred at the national, state, and local level. It is
important that applicants indicate how specific costs are linked to the outcomes
that the applicants hope to achieve through their grants. The detailed budget
narrative should also indicate the specific kinds of non-Federal resources being
used to support the grant, such as the provision of office space or the salaries of
project staff, and the organization(s) providing them. When specifying the non-
Federal resources being used to support the grant, applicants should indicate
both cash and in-kind contributions. The detailed budget narrative should
clearly differentiate between those costs that are supported with Federal funds
and those costs that are supported with non-Federal resources. All applicants
should have available for inspection the basis for their estimated costs by line
item (including the detail for the "Other" line item).

Applicants requesting approval to use not less than 65 percent of grant funds for
wages, benefits, and other costs, so that up to an additional 10 percent of grant


                                                                                  4

    funds are available for participant training and/or supportive services, as
    specified in OAA 2006 Section 502(c)(6)(C), should not submit a separate budget
    narrative for these activities. Instead, their detailed budget narrative should
    identify the specific training and/or supportive service activities that they intend
    to provide to participants if their request is accepted. Applicants should indicate
    costs associated with these specific participant training and/or supportive
    service activities when providing detail for individual line items. In addition,
    applicants should also indicate in their budget narrative the total amount and
    percentage of grant funds that will be spent on this training and supportive
    service provision.

    Applicants should not indicate which functional areas specific costs are
    associated with (i.e. administration, participant wages and fringe benefits, and
    other participant costs). Instead, applicants should simply provide a one line
    summary in their narrative of the total grant funds being spent in each functional
    area, or include a chart similar to the one below. If grantees include a chart
    similar to the one below, when they indicate costs they should indicate both total
    grant funds and the percentage of grant funds being expended on those costs.

    The applicant may consult with its Federal Project Officer regarding the needed
    level of detail. ETA’s Region 2 developed a helpful budget tool which was sent
    out to all grantees by e-mail in 2007 and will be transmitted again by e-mail after
    this TEGL is issued. Grantees are strongly encouraged to utilize this tool in
    developing their budget narratives. In categorizing costs and their applicability,
    all sponsors must follow OAA 2006 Section 502(c) and the Regulations at 20 CFR
    Part 641 Subpart H, sections 641.847 - 641.876. Please also see the discussion of
    administrative costs in the One-Stop Comprehensive Financial Management
    Guide at http://www.doleta.gov/sga/pdf/FinalTAG_August_02.pdf , pages II-
    5-3 to II-5-6.

    Other considerations: Successful applicants are expected to attend Department -
    sponsored training and should prepare their budgets accordingly. For example,
    grantees should allocate funds to attend the meeting for SCSEP grantees to be
    held in conjunction with the Workforce Innovations conference in 2008.



                                                                                        5

Line 22 - Indirect Charges. Enter the type of indirect rate (provisional,
predetermined, final, or fixed) that will be in effect during the grant period, and
the nature and the amount of the base to which the rate is applied, and the total
indirect charges. Include a copy of your agency’s approved indirect cost rate
agreement. It should cover the entire grant period. If not, state that a new one
will be provided when available.

Applicants that do not have an indirect cost rate, but have more than one source
of funds, are required to contact the Department of Labor’s Division of Cost
Determination to determine the process to follow to apply for an indirect cost
rate.

Line 23 – Remarks. Provide any other explanations or comments deemed
necessary.
