3. Background. On May 5, 2017, the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2017, Pub. L. 115-31
was signed into law (from this point forward, referred to as “the Act”). The Act makes PY
2017 Youth Activities funds available for obligation in early April 2017. However, the Act
funds the WIOA Adult and Dislocated Worker programs in two separate appropriations. The
first appropriation becomes available for obligation on July 1, 2017; this portion is commonly
referred to as the “base” funds. The second appropriation becomes available for obligation
on October 1, 2017; this portion is commonly referred to as “advance” funds because they are
provided in the appropriations act passed during the fiscal year immediately before the fiscal
year when the funds are available. For example, funds for PY 2017 that will be made
available on October 1, 2017 were appropriated during FY 2017, but not made available until
FY 2018, and are called the FY 2018 “advance” funds. See Attachment A for details.
The Act, Division H, Title I, sec. 107, allows the Secretary of Labor (Secretary) to set aside
up to 0.75 percent of most operating funds for evaluations. The evaluation provision is
consistent with the Federal government’s priority on evidence-based policy and
programming, providing opportunities to expand evaluations and demonstrations in the
Department of Labor (Department) to build solid evidence about what works best. Funds are
transferred to the Department’s Chief Evaluation Office to implement formal evaluations and
demonstrations in collaboration with the Employment and Training Administration. For
2017, the Department has set aside 0.25 percent of the Training and Employment Services
(TES) and State Unemployment Insurance and Employment Services Operations (SUIESO)
appropriations. ETA spread the amount to be set aside from each appropriation across all of
the programs funded by that appropriation with more than $100 million in funding. This
includes WIOA Adult, Youth and Dislocated Worker and Wagner-Peyser Employment
Service program budgets.
The Act, Division H, Title I, sec. 106(b), allows the Secretary to set aside up to 0.5 percent of
each discretionary appropriation for activities related to program integrity. For 2017, the
Department set aside the full 0.5 percent of most discretionary appropriations, which reduced
WIOA Adult, Youth, Dislocated Worker, Wagner-Peyser Employment Service and
Workforce Information Grant program budgets.
The reductions for evaluations from the WIOA Adult and Dislocated Worker programs are
applied to the FY 2018 “advance” funding levels; “base” funding is disseminated at the full
amount appropriated in the Act. The reductions for program integrity are applied to “base”
and “advance” funding separately.
The Act also specifies the following provisions:
The Secretary may reserve not more than 10 percent of the Dislocated Worker
National Reserve funds to provide technical assistance and carry out additional
activities related to the transition to WIOA.
In accordance with section 128(a)(1) of WIOA, the amount available for the Governor
for Statewide workforce employment and training activities must not exceed 15
percent of the amount allotted to the State from each of the WIOA Youth, Adult, and
Dislocated Worker, PY 2017 appropriations.
Salary caps are imposed under the Act, Division H, Title I, sec. 105. No funds under
the header “Employment and Training Administration” shall be used by a recipient or
sub-recipient to pay the salary and/or bonus of an individual, either as direct costs or
indirect costs, at a rate in excess of Executive Level II, currently $187,000. States also
may establish lower salary caps. See TEGL No. 5-06.
WIOA allotments for States are based on formula provisions contained in WIOA (for your
information see Attachment B for WIOA and Wagner-Peyser formula descriptions). The Act
waives the competition requirement contained in WIOA secs. 127(b)(1)(B)(ii),
132(b)(1)(A)(ii), and 132(b)(2)(A)(ii) regarding funding to outlying areas (i.e., American
Samoa, Guam, Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, the Republic of Palau, and
the United States Virgin Islands). For PY 2017, outlying area grant amounts will be based on
the administrative formula determined by the Secretary that was used under WIA.
WIOA specifically included the Republic of Palau as an outlying area, except during any
period for which the Secretary of Labor and the Secretary of Education determine that a
Compact of Free Association is in effect and contains provisions for training and education
assistance prohibiting the assistance provided under WIOA. No such determinations
prohibiting assistance have been made (WIOA sec. 3(45)(B)). WIOA updated the Compact
of Free Association Amendments of 2003, Pub. L. 108-188 (December 17, 2003) so that the
Republic of Palau remained eligible for WIOA Title I funding. See 48
U.S.C.1921d(f)(1)(B)(ix). The Act, Division H, Title III, sec. 305 of Pub. L. 115-31
authorized WIOA Title I funding to Palau through FY 2017.
In addition to this TEGL, allotments and descriptions of the allotment formulas will be
published in the Federal Register.
4. State WIOA Youth Activities Funds: Title I--Chapter 2--Youth Activities .
A. State Allotments. The appropriated level for PY 2017 for WIOA Youth Activities totals
$873,416,000. After reducing the appropriation by $2,488,000 for evaluations and
$4,367,080 for program integrity, $866,560,920 is available for Youth Activities, which
includes $12,998,414 for Native American grantees, $851,428,600 for States, and
$2,133,906 for outlying areas. Note that under WIOA the basis for calculating the ¼ of 1
percent reserved for outlying areas is based on the total available for Youth Activities
after the Native American reservation. The Native American reservation is calculated on
the total available for Youth Activities. Attachment D contains a breakdown of the
WIOA Youth Activities program allotments by State for PY 2017 and provides a
comparison of these allotments to PY 2016. Please note that the Department will provide
information on the Native American Youth allotments in a separate TEGL.
The Department has allotted the PY 2017 Youth Activities program allotments among the
States in accordance with the factors required by WIOA. For reference, the three data
factors that the Department considers in allocating these funds to the States are:
1. The average number of unemployed individuals for Areas of Substantial
Unemployment (ASUs) for the 12-month period, July 2015 through June 2016, as
prepared by the States under the direction of the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS);
2. The number of excess unemployed individuals or the ASU excess (depending on
which is higher) averages for the same 12-month period, July 2015 through June
2016; and
3. The number of disadvantaged youth (age 16 to 21), excluding college students in the
workforce and military) from special tabulations of data from the American
Community Survey (ACS). The data used in the special tabulations for disadvantaged
youth were collected between January 1, 2006, and December 31, 2010.
Since the total amount available for States in PY 2017 is below the required $1 billion
threshold specified in WIOA sec. 127(b)(1)(C)(iv)(IV), which was also the case in PY
2016, the Department did not apply the WIOA additional minimum provisions (see
Attachment B). Instead, as required by WIOA, the minimums of 90 percent of the prior
year allotment percentage and 0.25 percent State minimum floor apply. This is the same
methodology to set a floor on the annual variation in allotments as has been applied
almost continuously for more than two decades. See sec. 262(b)(2) of the Job Training
Partnership Act (JTPA) (Pub. L. 97-300), (as amended by sec. 207 of the Job Training
Reform Amendments of 1992, Pub. L. 102-367); sec. 127(b)(1)(C)(iv)(IV) of the
Workforce Investment Act of 1998 (Pub. L. 105-220). WIOA also provides that no State
may receive an allotment that is more than 130 percent of the allotment percentage for the
State for the previous year.
B. PY 2017 Funding WIOA Agreement/Notice of Award (NOAs). Upon execution of the
PY 2017 WIOA Annual Funding Agreement/NOA, Youth program funds will be
available for States to use.
C. Sub-State Allocations. States must distribute WIOA Youth Activities funds among local
workforce areas (subject to reservation of the 15 percent limitation for statewide
workforce employment and training activities as discussed in the Background Section of
this TEGL) in accordance with the provisions of WIOA sec. 128 and their approved
Unified or Combined WIOA State Plan. In allocating Youth Activities funds to local
areas for PY 2017, States may use either the allocation formula described in WIOA
sec.128(b)(2) or the discretionary allocation formula in WIOA sec. 128(b)(3), and ensure
the State policy articulated in the approved State Plan remains consistent with this
guidance. See Attachment C for a description of sub-state allocation formulas.
1. Allocation Formula. Thirty-three and 1/3 percent of the total funds available for
local allocations are allocated based on each local area’s relative share of each data
factor listed below.
a. The relative number of unemployed individuals in Areas of Substantial
Unemployment (ASUs) in each local area, compared to the total number of
unemployed individuals in ASUs in all local areas in the State. For this factor, the
time period for comparison is the 12-month period, July 2015 to June 2016.
b. The relative excess number of unemployed individuals in each local area,
compared to the total excess number of unemployed individuals in all local areas
in the State. See the definition of “excess number” below which requires a
comparison of the excess unemployed in ASUs with excess unemployed in all
areas. For this factor, the time period for comparison is the 12-month period, July
2015 to June 2016.
c. The relative number of disadvantaged youth (age 16 to 21, excluding college
students in the workforce and military), in each local area, compared to the total
number of disadvantaged Youth in all local areas in the State. The number of
disadvantaged youth come from special tabulations of data from the American
Community Survey (ACS) prepared in accordance with the definition provided in
WIOA. The data were collected between January 1, 2006 and December 31,
2010.
For purposes of identifying ASUs for the Youth Activities sub-state allocation
formula, States should use data made available by BLS (as described in LAUS
Technical Memorandum No. S-16-15).
The term “excess number” means, used with respect to the excess number of
unemployed individuals within a local area, the higher of (i) the number that
represents the number of unemployed individuals in excess of 4.5 percent of the
civilian labor force in the local area; or (ii) the number that represents the number of
unemployed individuals in excess of 4.5 percent of the civilian labor force in ASUs in
such local area.
For purposes of determining the number of disadvantaged Youth for the sub-state
Youth formula, States should use the special tabulations of American Community
Survey (ACS) data available at
http://www.doleta.gov/budget/disadvantagedYouthAdults.cfm. See TEGL No. 21-12
for further information.
States must utilize a minimum percentage (or stop loss) to ensure that no local area
receives an allocation percentage that is less than 90 percent of the average allocation
percentage received by the local area for the previous two years. An allocation
percentage is the local area’s share or percentage of funds allocated to all local areas.
States should not use 90 percent of the average amount allocated to the local area for
the last two years. Amounts necessary to increase allocations to local areas to comply
with the minimum percentage requirement must be obtained by proportionately
reducing the allocations to be made to other local areas.
States must not use a maximum percentage (or stop gain).
2. Discretionary Formula. Alternatively, a State may use a discretionary formula. When
using a discretionary formula, a State distributes a portion that is at least 70 percent of
the funds according to the allocation formula described in subparagraph 4.C.1 of this
TEGL, and the remainder on the basis of a formula that incorporates additional
factors relating to:
a. excess youth poverty in urban, rural, and suburban areas; and
b. excess unemployment above the State average in urban, rural, and suburban local
areas.
Of the portion of funds distributed according to the allocation formula described in
subparagraph 1, a State must not assign unequal percentages to the ASU, excess
unemployment, and economically disadvantaged data factors. These three data
factors carry equal weights of 33 1/3 percent.
Of the remainder, States may determine the percentage to allocate to data factors
reflecting excess youth poverty and excess unemployment above the state average.
States also have flexibility in choosing what data they want to use related to youth
poverty and excess unemployment above the state average. States may not reuse the
allocation formula data factors (ASU, excess unemployment, and disadvantaged
youth) to distribute the remainder. Using data factors such as high school drop-out
rate may be an acceptable reflection of youth poverty, but the State must articulate
how such factors relate to youth poverty in the State Plan.
For the portion of funds distributed according to the allocation formula (which
represent at least 70 percent of the distributed funds), the State must employ the
minimum percentage (or stop loss), as described in subparagraph 1 on the allocation
formula. The State may choose whether or not to also apply the minimum percentage
to the remainder portion of funds that the State distributes according to the
discretionary formula (which represent not more than 30 percent of the distributed
funds).
The discretionary formula must be developed by the State Board and approved by the
Secretary as part of the State Plan.
D. Transfers of Funds. Local workforce areas do not have the authority to transfer funds to
or from the Youth Activities program.
E. Re-allotment of Funds. WIOA sec. 127(c) requires the Secretary of Labor to recapture
and reallot Youth Activities program formula funds based on State obligation levels at the
end of the first program year of use (ETA reallots in accordance with 20 CFR 683.150).
PY 2016 funds are only available for Federal obligation until the end of the program year,
and so the Secretary does not have authority to reobligate PY 2016 funds after the first
program year. Therefore, any reallotment of funds requires the use of PY 2017 funds. In
other words, recapture and reallotment of PY 2017 funds is based on obligation levels of
PY 2016 funds at the end of PY 2016.
1. The obligation threshold a State must meet to avoid recapture under WIOA sec.
127(c)(2) is 80 percent. The term obligation is defined at 2 CFR 200.71. The funds
that a State allocates to a local area are State obligations. WIOA requires States to
allocate at least 85 percent of Youth Activities funds to local areas. Therefore, by
making the required local allocations, the State has obligated more than 80 percent of
its PY 2016 funds and no further action is required regarding reallotment of PY 2017
funds.
2. Allocations to the local areas are reported on the Local Youth ETA 9130 (B) financial
reports, along with obligations by local areas of those funds.
F. Small State Minimum Allotment States. WIOA sec. 129(a)(4)(B) allows a State that
receives a small state minimum allotment under WIOA sec. 127(b)(1) (relating to the
youth formula program) or 132(b)(1) (relating to the adult formula program) to submit a
request for approval to the Department to decrease the percentage of funds spent on out-
of-school youth to not less than 50 percent in a local area. To determine if a State
receives a small state minimum allotment, review the PY 2017 columns in Attachments
D and E. States that meet the criteria for PY 2017 as a minimum allotment State are
those states that receive a PY 2017 WIOA Youth allotment of $2,128,564 or receive a PY
2017 WIOA Adult allotment of $2,017,823.
5. State Adult Employment and Training Activities Funds: Title I--Chapter 3--Adult and
Dislocated Worker Employment and Training Activities.
A. State Allotments. The total appropriated funds for Adult Activities in PY 2017 is
$815,556,000. After reducing the appropriated amount by $2,323,000 for evaluations and
$4,077,780 for program integrity, $809,155,220 remains for Adult Activities, of which
$807,132,332 is for States and $2,022,888 is for outlying areas. Attachment E shows the
PY 2017 Adult Employment and Training Activities allotments and a State by State
comparison of the PY 2017 allotments to PY 2016 allotments.
The three formula data factors that the Department uses to distribute WIOA Adult
Activities funds among the States are the same as those used for the Youth Activities
formula, except that data is used for the number of disadvantaged adults (age 22 to 72,
excluding college students in the workforce and military), rather than the number of
disadvantaged youth. Since the total amount available for the Adult Activities program
for States in PY 2017 is below the required $960 million threshold specified in WIOA
sec. 132(b)(1)(B)(iv)(IV), as was also the case in PY 2016, the WIOA additional
minimum provisions (See Attachment B) are not applicable. Instead, as required by
WIOA, the minimums of 90 percent of the prior year allotment percentage and 0.25
percent State minimum floor apply. As noted above, this is the same methodology to set
a floor on the annual variation in allotments as has been applied almost continuously for
more than two decades, under both JTPA and WIA. Also, like for the Youth program,
WIOA also provides that no State may receive an allotment that is more than 130 percent
of the previous year allotment percentage for the State.
B. PY 2017 Funding WIOA Agreement/Notice of Award (NOAs). For PY 2017, Congress
appropriated funds for this program in two portions: $103,556,000 is available for
obligation on July 1, 2017 (PY 2017), and $712,000,000 available for obligation on
October 1, 2017 (FY 2018). After reductions associated with evaluations and program
integrity, the amount available for Adult Activities on July 1, 2017 (PY 2017) is
$103,038,220 and on October 1, 2017 is $706,117,000. The Department prorated
allotments to States and outlying areas based on these total amounts and will issue two
NOAs (subject to the state submitting an approved state plan under secs. 102 or 103 of
WIOA): one for July 1, 2017, under the PY 2017 WIOA grant agreement, and the other
for October 1, 2017, also under the PY 2017 WIOA grant agreement (see Attachment F).
C. Sub-State Allocations. States must distribute WIOA Adult Activities funds for PY 2017
allotments among local workforce areas (subject to reservation of the 15 percent
limitation for statewide employment and training activities) in accordance with the
provisions in WIOA section 133 and the approved State Plan. The 15 percent which may
be retained for statewide activities must be calculated on the total allotment for PY 2017.
In allocating WIOA Adult funds to local areas for PY 2017, States may use either the
allocation formula described in WIOA sec. 133(b)(2)(A) or the discretionary allocation
formula in WIOA sec. 133(b)(3). Also, States must ensure the State policy articulated in
the approved State Plan remains consistent with this guidance. See Attachment C for a
description of sub-state allocation formulas.
1. Allocation Formula. Thirty-three and 1/3 percent of the total funds available for local
allocations are allocated based on each local area’s relative share of each data factor
listed below.
a. The relative number of unemployed individuals in ASUs in each local area,
compared to the total number of unemployed individuals in ASUs in all local
areas in the State. For this factor, the time period for comparison is the 12-
month period, July 2015 to June 2016.
b. The relative excess number of unemployed individuals in each local area,
compared to the total excess number of unemployed individuals in all local
areas in the State. See the definition of “excess number” below which requires
a comparison of the excess unemployed in ASUs with excess unemployed in
all areas. For this factor, the time period for comparison is the 12-month
period, July 2015 to June 2016.
c. The relative number of disadvantaged adults (age 22 to 72, excluding college
students in the workforce and military) in each local area, compared to the total
number of disadvantaged adults in all local areas in the State. The data used in
the special tabulations for disadvantaged adults were collected between January
1, 2006 and December 31, 2010.
For purposes of identifying ASUs for the Adult Activities sub-state allocation
formula, States should use data made available by BLS (as described in LAUS
Technical Memorandum No. S-16-15).
The term “excess number” means, used with respect to the excess number of
unemployed individuals within a local area, the higher of (i) the number that
represents the number of unemployed individuals in excess of 4.5 percent of the
civilian labor force in the local area; or (ii) the number that represents the number of
unemployed individuals in excess of 4.5 percent of the civilian labor force in ASUs in
such local area.
For purposes of determining the number of disadvantaged adults for the sub-state
Adult formula, States should use the special tabulations of ACS data available at
https://www.doleta.gov/budget/disadvantagedYouthAdults.cfm. See TEGL No. 21-
12 for further information.
States must utilize a minimum percentage (or stop loss) to ensure that no local area
receives an allocation percentage that is less than 90 percent of the average allocation
percentage of the local area for the previous two years. An allocation percentage is
the local area’s share or percentage of funds allocated to all local areas. States should
not use 90 percent of the average amount allocated to the local area for the last two
years. Amounts necessary to increase allocations to local areas to comply with the
minimum percentage requirement must be obtained by proportionately reducing the
allocations to be made to other local areas.
States must not use a maximum percentage (or stop gain).
2. Discretionary Formula. Alternatively, a State may use a discretionary formula. When
using a discretionary formula, a State distributes a portion that is at least 70 percent of
the funds according to the allocation formula described in subparagraph 5.C.1. of this
TEGL and the remainder on the basis of a formula that incorporates additional factors
related to:
a. excess poverty in urban, rural, and suburban areas, and
b. excess unemployment above the State average in urban, rural, and suburban local
areas.
Of the portion of funds distributed according to the allocation formula described in
subparagraph 1, a State must not assign unequal percentages to the ASU, excess
unemployment, and disadvantaged data factors. These three data factors carry equal
weights of 33 1/3 percent.
Of the remainder, States may determine the percentage to allocate to data factors
reflecting excess poverty and excess unemployment above the state average.
States also have flexibility in choosing the data they want to use related to poverty
and excess unemployment above the state average. States may not reuse the
allocation formula data factors (ASU, excess unemployment, and disadvantaged
adults) to distribute the remainder. Using data factors not directly describing poverty
or excess unemployment may be acceptable, but the State must articulate how such
factors relate to the statutory requirements in the State Plan.
The discretionary formula must also employ a minimum percentage, as described in
subparagraph 1 on the allocation formula. The minimum percentage may be applied
to the 70 percent (or greater) portion or to the entire allocation.
The discretionary formula must be developed by the State Board and approved by the
Secretary as part of the State Plan.
D. Transfers of Funds. WIOA sec. 133(b)(4) provides the authority for local workforce
areas, with approval of the Governor, to expend up to 100 percent of the Adult Activities
funds on Dislocated Worker Activities, and up to 100 percent of Dislocated Worker
Activities funds on Adult Activities.
E. Re-allotment of Funds. WIOA sec. 132(c) requires the Secretary of Labor to recapture
and reallot Adult Activities program formula funds based on State obligation levels at the
end of the first program year of use (ETA reallots in accordance with 20 CFR 683.150).
PY 2016 funds are only available for Federal obligation until the end of the program year,
and so the Secretary does not have authority to re-obligate PY 2016 funds after the first
program year. Therefore, any re-allotment of funds requires the use of PY 2017 funds. In
other words, re-allotment of PY 2017 funds is based on obligation levels of PY 2016
funds at the end of PY 2016.
1. The obligation threshold a State must meet to avoid recapture under WIOA sec.
132(c)(2) is 80 percent. The term obligation is defined at 2 CFR 200.71. The funds
that a State allocates to a local area are State obligations. WIOA requires States to
allocate at least 85 percent of Adult Activities funds to local areas. Therefore, by
making the required local allocations, the State has obligated more than 80 percent of
its PY 2016 funds and no further action is required regarding re-allotment of PY
2017 funds.
2. Allocations to the local areas are reported on the Local Adult ETA 9130 (D)
financial reports, along with obligations by local areas of those funds.
6. State Dislocated Worker Employment and Training Funds: Title I-- Chapter 3- Adult
and Dislocated Worker Employment and Training Activities
The amount appropriated for Dislocated Worker Activities in PY 2017 totals $1,241,719,000.
The total appropriation includes formula funds for the States, while the National Reserve is
used for National Dislocated Worker Grants, technical assistance and training, demonstration
projects, and the outlying areas’ Dislocated Worker allotments. After reducing the
appropriated amount by $3,536,000 for evaluations and $6,208,595 for program integrity, a
total of $1,231,974,405 remains available for Dislocated Worker Activities. The amount
available for outlying areas is $3,079,936, leaving $216,046,769 for the National Reserve and
a total of $1,012,847,700 available for States.
A. State Allotments. Attachment G shows the PY 2017 Dislocated Worker Activities
allotments and a State by State comparison of the PY 2017 allotments to PY 2016
allotments.
WIOA prescribes different data factors for the federal allotment of Dislocated Worker
funds by the Department to the States, and for the sub-state allocation of Dislocated
Worker funds by the Governor within a State. The Department has allotted the PY
2017 Dislocated Worker State program allotments among the States in accordance with
the factors required by WIOA. For reference, the three data factors that the Department
considers in allocating these funds to the States are:
1. The relative number of unemployed individuals in each State, compared to the total
excess number of unemployed individuals in all States. For this factor, the time
period for comparison is the 12-month period, October 2015 through September
2016.
2. The relative excess number of individuals in each State, compared to the total
excess number of unemployed individuals in all States. For this factor, the time
period for comparison is the 12-month period, October 2015 through September
2016. No comparison to ASU excess is required for this data factor.
3. The relative number of individuals in each State who have been unemployed for 15
weeks or more, compared to the total number of individuals in all States who have
been unemployed for 15 weeks or more. For this factor, the time period for
comparison is the 12-month period, October 2015 through September 2016.
WIOA sec. 132(b)(2)(B)(iii)(I) required the Dislocated Worker formula to adopt a 90
percent minimum of the prior year allotment percentage. WIOA also provides that no
State may receive an allotment that is more than 130 percent of the allotment percentage
for the State for the previous year under section 132(b)(2)(B)(iii)(II).
B. PY 2017 Funding WIOA Agreement/NOAs. For PY 2017, Congress appropriated
funds for this program in two portions for both formula funds and National Reserve
funds. For State formula funds, $160,860,000 is available for obligation on July 1,
2017 (PY 2017), and $860,000,000 is available for obligation on October 1, 2017 (FY
2018). For the National Reserve, which includes funds for the outlying areas,
$20,859,000 is available for obligation on July 1, 2017 (PY 2017), and $200,000,000 is
available for obligation on October 1, 2017 (FY 2018). After reductions associated
with evaluations and program integrity the amount available for State formula funds on
July 1, 2017 is $106,055,700 and on October 1, 2017 is $852,792,000. For the National
Reserve, the amount available on July 1, 2017 is reduced to 20,754,705 and on October
1, 2017 is $198,372,000. Allotments to States and outlying areas are prorated based on
the two amounts for formula funds and National Reserve, respectively. Allotments will
be issued in two NOAs (subject to the State submitting an approved state plan under
sections 102 or 103 of WIOA): one for July 1, 2017, under the PY 2017 WIOA grant
agreement, and the other for October 1, 2017, also under the PY 2017 WIOA grant
agreement (see Attachment H).
C. Sub-State Allocations. States will distribute Dislocated Worker Activities funds for PY
2017 among local workforce areas (subject to the Governor’s reservation of up to 25
percent for statewide Rapid Response activities under WIOA sec. 133(a)(2) and the 15
percent limitation for statewide employment and training activities as discussed in the
Background Section of this TEGL), in accordance with the provisions in WIOA section
133 and the approved State Plan. States must calculate the 15 percent which may be
retained for statewide activities on the total allotment for PY 2017.
In allocating WIOA Dislocated Worker funds to local areas for PY 2017, States must
ensure the State policy articulated in the approved State Plan remains consistent with
this guidance. See Attachment C for a description of sub-state allocation formulas.
Governors continue to prescribe the Dislocated Worker formula for sub-state
allocations. Under WIOA the data factors that must be included have not changed from
those under WIA, and are:
insured unemployment data,
unemployment concentrations,
plant closing and mass layoff data,
declining industries data,
farmer-rancher economic hardship data, and
long-term unemployment data.
A State may assign zero weight to a factor only where the State is able to demonstrate it
does not have an appropriate data source to accurately reflect State needs for a given
data factor. For example, the plant closing and mass layoff data, one of the six data
factors WIOA requires, is no longer produced by the Bureau of Labor Statistics. We
recognize that an accurate source of such data is no longer available at the national
level. Some States have sub-state administrative data available and others do not. In
order to assign a weight of zero to a data factor, such as the plant closing and mass
layoff data factor, the State must include the following information in their State Plan:
An inventory of available national or State-level data sources germane to the data
factor;
A discussion of why the available data sources are inadequate for the purposes of
assigning a weight to a given data factor; and
A description of how the Governor’s formula is appropriate to equitably distribute
funds throughout the State.
(Note that weighting a data factor at zero percent is not allowable under any other
circumstance.)
WIOA requires the use of a minimum percentage (or stop loss) (see WIOA sec.
133(b)(2)(B)(iii)). A local workforce area must receive an allocation percentage that
is no less than 90 percent of the average allocation percentage of the local area for the
two preceding years. In the event of a shortage of funds, the amounts necessary to
increase the allocations to local areas to comply with this provision must be obtained by
proportionately reducing the allocations to other local areas. The minimum percentage
methodology States use for Dislocated Worker funds is the same minimum percentage
methodology used in the sub-state Youth and Adult allocation formulas. States are not
required to use a maximum percentage (or stop gain), but may use one if desired.
D. Transfers of Funds. WIOA sec. 133(b)(4) provides the authority for local workforce
areas, with approval of the Governor, to expend up to 100 percent of the Adult
Activities funds on Dislocated Worker Activities, and up to 100 percent of Dislocated
Worker Activities funds on Adult Activities.
E. Re-allotment of Funds. WIOA sec. 132(c) requires the Secretary of Labor to recapture
and reallot Dislocated Worker program formula funds based on State obligation levels
at the end of the first program year of use (ETA reallots in accordance with 20 CFR
683.150). PY 2016 funds are only available for Federal obligation until the end of the
program year, and so the Secretary does not have authority to re-obligate PY 2016 funds
after the first program year. Therefore, any re-allotment of funds requires the use of PY
2017 funds. In other words, the Department will reallot PY 2017 Dislocated Worker
formula funds among States during PY 2017 based on State obligations of PY 2016
funds made during PY 2016.
1. WIOA sec. 134(a)(2)(A)(ii) gives States the flexibility to use PY 2016 Rapid
Response funds that are not obligated by the end of PY 2016 for statewide
activities. Per WIOA sec. 132(c), States must still obligate 80 percent of their PY
2016 Dislocated Worker program formula funds, which includes Rapid Response
funds, by June 30, 2017 or potentially have PY 2017 funds recaptured and re-
alloted to States who have obligated 80 percent of their PY 2016 funds.
2. The term obligation is defined at 2 CFR 200.71. The funds a State allocates to
local areas are State obligations. Allocations to the local areas are reported on the
Local Dislocated Worker ETA 9130 (F) financial reports, along with obligations
by local areas of those funds.
7. Wagner-Peyser ES Final Allotments. The appropriated level for PY 2017 for grants for the
ES programs totals was $671,413,000. After reducing the appropriation by $1,826,000 for
evaluations and $3,357,065 for program integrity, $666,229,935 is available for the ES
programs. After determining the funding for Guam and the United States Virgin Islands,
ETA calculates allotments to States using the formula set forth at section 6 of the Wagner-
Peyser Act (29 U.S.C. 49e). ETA based PY 2017 formula allotments on each State’s share of
calendar year 2016 monthly averages of the Civilian Labor Force (CLF) and unemployment.
The distribution of Wagner-Peyser Act funds for PY 2017 includes $664,605,898 for States,
as well as $1,624,037 for Guam and the United States Virgin Islands. Attachment I shows
the distribution of PY 2017 ES formula amounts by State compared to PY 2016.
Section 7(a) of the Wagner-Peyser Act (49 U.S.C. § 49 f(a)) authorizes States to use 90
percent of the funds allotted to a State for labor exchange services, and other career services
such as job search and placement services to job seekers; appropriate recruitment services for
employers; program evaluations; developing and providing labor market and occupational
information; developing management information systems; and administering the work test
for unemployment insurance claimants.
Section 7(b) of the Wagner-Peyser Act (49 U.S.C. § 49f(b)), states that 10 percent of the
funds allotted to a State must be reserved for use by the Governor to provide performance
incentives for public employment service offices and programs, provide services for groups
with special needs, and provide for the extra costs of exemplary models for delivering
services of the type described in section 7(a).
8. Workforce Information Grants (WIGs). Total funds for PY 2017 are $32,000,000. After
reducing the total by $160,000 for program integrity, $31,840,000 is available for Workforce
Information Grants. Funds are distributed to States by administrative formula with $176,416
for Guam and the United States Virgin Islands. Guam and the United States Virgin Islands
allotment amounts are partially based on Civilian Labor Force (CLF) data from the BLS
Current Population Study. The remaining funds are distributed to the States with 40 percent
distributed equally to all States, and 60 percent distributed based on each State’s share of the
CLF for the 12 months ending September 2016. The allotment figures are listed in
Attachment J.
9. Submission Requirements. In order to achieve greater efficiency and as part of ETA’s
ongoing effort to streamline the mandatory grant award process, all States and outlying areas
are required to submit an electronically signed copy of an SF- 424, Application for Federal
Assistance, through Grants.gov for each WIOA funding stream under Funding Opportunity
Numbers (henceforth, in sections 9 through 11 of this TEGL, references to “States” shall be
read to include outlying areas):
ETA-TEGL-PY-YOUTH-2017 [CFDA 17.259]
ETA-TEGL-PY-FY-ADULT-2017 [CFDA 17.258]
ETA-TEGL-PY-FY-DW-2017 [CFDA 17.278]
An electronically submitted SF-424 through Grants.gov constitutes an official signed
document and must reflect the amount for each WIOA funding stream (Youth, Adult, and
Dislocated Worker). The closing date for receipt of each SF-424 is July 3, 2017. The
WIOA Youth funds will be awarded as SF-424s are received from grantees during the period
of June 8, 2017 through July 3, 2017. The PY 2017 “base” allotment of WIOA Adult and
Dislocated Worker funds will be awarded during the period of availability beginning July
2017. The FY 2018 “advance” allotment will be awarded in the period of availability starting
October 2017. A copy of the executed PY 2017 WIOA Agreement will be available upon
award of funds.
All States must submit an electronically signed SF-424, Application for Federal Assistance,
through Grants.gov for each ES funding program under Funding Opportunity Numbers:
ETA-TEGL-ES-2017 [CFDA 17.207]
ETA-TEGL-WIG-2017 [CFDA 17.207]
Note that WIGs have specific grant deliverable requirements not outlined in this document. A
forthcoming TEGL will list these grant deliverable requirements. States should follow the
instructions in this TEGL to receive WIGs funding, including submission of SF-424s.
An electronically submitted SF-424 through Grants.gov constitutes an official signed
document and must reflect the amount for each ES program (Wagner-Peyser ES Program and
Workforce Information Grants). The closing date for receipt of each SF-424 is July 14,
2017. The Wagner-Peyser Employment Service Program and Workforce Information Grant
funds will be awarded in July 2017. A copy of the executed PY 2017 ES Agreement will be
available upon award of funds.
10. Grants.gov Submission Process. To submit the required SF-424s, States must follow the
“Apply for Grants” link on Grants.gov, and download the grant application package links.
States should not follow the “Find Grants” link, which pertains only to competitive funding
opportunities.
Each SF-424 must reflect the exact amount of the designated State allotment in item #18,
Estimated Funding. Item #11 must include the Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance
Number for the applicable Funding Opportunity.
This process can be complicated and time-consuming. As such, the Department strongly
encourages States to initiate the process as soon as possible and to allow for time to resolve
technical problems if necessary. The Department strongly recommends that States
immediately initiate and complete the “Get Registered” registration steps at
http://www.grants.gov/web/grants/register.html. States should read through the registration
process carefully before registering. These steps may take as much as four weeks to
complete, and this time should be factored into plans for electronic submission in order to
avoid unexpected delays that could result in the rejection of an application. The site also
contains registration checklists to help you walk through the process. The Department
strongly recommends that States download the “Organization Registration Checklist” at
http://www.grants.gov/web/grants/applicants/organization-registration.html
and prepare the information requested before beginning the registration process. Reviewing
and assembling required information before beginning the registration process will alleviate
last minute searches for required information and save time.
All applicants for Federal grant and funding opportunities are required to have a Data
Universal Numbering System (D-U-N-S®) number, and must supply their
D-U-N-S® number on the SF-424. Before submitting, States must register with the System
for Award Management (SAM), which has replaced the Central Contractor Registry (CCR).
Instructions for registering with SAM can be found at https://www.sam.gov
An awardee must maintain an active SAM registration with current information at all times
during which it has an active Federal award or an application under consideration. To remain
registered in the SAM database after the initial registration, there is a requirement to review
and update the registration at least every 12 months from the date of initial registration or
subsequently update the information in the SAM database to ensure it is current, accurate,
and complete. Failure to register with SAM and maintain an active account will result in
Grants.gov rejecting your submission.
The next step in the registration process is creating a username and password with Grants.gov
to become an Authorized Organizational Representative (AOR). AORs will need to know
the D-U-N-S® number of the organization for which they will be submitting applications to
complete this process. To read more detailed instructions for creating a profile on Grants.gov
visit: http://www.grants.gov/web/grants/applicants/organization-registration/step-3-
username-password.html.
After creating a profile on Grants.gov, the E-Biz point of Contact (E-Biz POC) - a
representative from your organization who is the contact listed for SAM - will receive an
email to grant the AOR permission to submit applications on behalf of their organization.
The E-Biz POC will then log in to Grants.gov and approve an applicant as the AOR, thereby
giving him or her permission to submit applications. To learn more about AOR authorization
visit: http://www.grants.gov/web/grants/applicants/organization-registration/step-4-aor-
authorization.html.
To track AOR status visit:
http://www.grants.gov/web/grants/applicants/organization-registration/step-5-track-aor-
status.html.
Submitting through Grants.gov constitutes an electronically signed SF-424, Application for
Federal Assistance. The registration and account creation with Grants.gov, with E-Biz POC
approval, establishes an AOR. When you submit the SF-424 through Grants.gov, the name
of your AOR on file will be inserted into the signature line. States must register the
individual who is able to make legally binding commitments as the AOR.
If States encounter a problem with Grants.gov and do not find an answer in any of the other
resources, call 1-800-518-4726 or 606-545-5035 to speak to a Customer Support
Representative or email [email protected]. The Contact Center is open 24 hours a day,
seven days a week. It is closed on federal holidays.
States should e-mail all submission questions to Tammy Edwards Grants Management
Specialist, at [email protected] and must reference the specific Funding
Opportunity Number, and along with question(s), include a contact name, email address, and
phone number.
11. Reporting. For the WIOA formula programs, States are required to submit the seven
designated WIOA quarterly financial status reports covering funds received for each of the
programs (including separate reports for each of the fund year periods for the Adult and
Dislocated Worker Activities programs, July 1 funds and October 1 funds). These seven
WIOA quarterly financial reports cover financial data for Statewide Youth, Statewide Adult,
Statewide Dislocated Worker, Statewide Rapid Response (Dislocated Worker Activities),
local Youth, local Adult, and local Dislocated Worker activities. The Department also
requires States to submit the designated financial reports each quarter for the Wagner-Peyser
Act funds and the Workforce Information Grant funds.
Guidance and instructions can be found in TEGL No. 2-16, Revised ETA-9130 Financial
Report, Instructions, and Additional Guidance, at the following link:
