3. Background. TEGL 27-16, issued on June 9, 2017, announced Program Year (PY) 2017
WIOA state allotments. This Change 1 TEGL informs the states of recent allotment
adjustments necessary due to the Continuing Appropriations Act, 2018, P.L. 115-56, enacted
on September 8, 2017, (henceforth referred to as the “Continuing Resolution”). The
Continuing Resolution did not reduce the WIOA Youth Activities funds (available April 1,
2017) or the base portion (available July 1, 2017) of funding for Adult and Dislocated
Worker activities. However, the Resolution did reduce the FY 2018 advance funds for
WIOA Adult and Dislocated Worker programs by 0.6791 percent.
In addition, this Change 1 TEGL corrects the amounts for small state minimum allotments in
the last sentence in F. Small State Minimum Allotment States under section 4. State
WIOA Youth Activities Funds: Title I--Chapter 2--Youth Activities. The minimum
allotment correction is shown in bold in the following sentence.
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 $2,128,572 or receive a PY 2017 WIOA Adult
allotment of $2,017,831.
4. Notice of Award (NOA). The Department will issue a NOA with the new FY 2018 advance
amounts for the Adult and Dislocated Worker programs. Because ETA will take into
account the reduction when the NOA is issued, the states need take no further accounting
actions.
5. Possibility of an additional Rescission to FY 2018 Funding. It is possible that the final
appropriation for FY 2018 will contain an additional rescission greater than the 0.6791
percent reduction to the Adult and Dislocated Worker Advance funding identified in this
Change 1 to TEGL 27-16.
6. Inquiries. Please direct questions regarding these allotments to the appropriate ETA
Regional Office. Information on allotments and planning requirements may also be found on
the ETA Web site at http://www.doleta.gov
