TEGL 29-14 Continuing
3. Background. On December 16, 2014, the Consolidated and Further Continuing
Appropriations Act, 2015, Pub. L. 113-235 was signed into law (from this point forward,
referred to as “the Act”). The Act, Division G, Title I, Section 107, allows the Secretary of
Labor to set aside up to .5 percent of most operating funds. The evaluation provision is
consistent with the Federal government’s priority on evidence-based policy and
programming and provides important opportunities to expand evaluations and
demonstrations in the Department to build solid evidence about what works best. In the past,
funds for ETA evaluations and demonstrations were separately appropriated and managed by
ETA. Like last year, that separate authority has been replaced by the set aside provision.
Funds are transferred to the Department’s Chief Evaluation Office to implement formal
evaluations and demonstrations in collaboration with ETA. For 2015, the Secretary set aside
.25 percent of the TES and SUIESO appropriations. ETA spread the amount to be set aside
for each appropriation among 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 WIOA Youth grants are funded through a single appropriation and the evaluation
reductions were applied to the PY 2015 appropriated level. The 2015 Youth activities funds
will become available for obligation on April 1. However, the Act funds the WIOA Adult
and Dislocated Worker programs in two separate appropriations. The first becomes available
for obligation on July 1; this portion is commonly referred to as the “base” funds. The second
becomes available for obligation on October 1; 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 2015 that will be made available on October 1, 2015 were appropriated during FY 2015,
but not made available until FY 2016, and are called the FY 2016 “advance.” Like last year,
the reductions for evaluations from the WIOA Adult and Dislocated Worker programs were
applied to the FY 2016 “advance” funding levels; “base” funding will be disseminated at the
full amount appropriated in the Act.
The Act also specifies the following provisions, which are applicable to utilization of the
funds appropriated:
• 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 the WIOA.
• Notwithstanding section 128(a)(1) of WIOA, the amount available for the Governor
for Statewide workforce investment activities must not exceed 10 percent of the
amount allotted to the State from each of the WIOA Youth, Adult, and Dislocated
Worker, PY 2015 appropriations.
• Salary caps are imposed under Pub. L.113-235, Division G, Title I, Section 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
$181,500. States also may establish lower salary caps. See TEGL 5-06.
WIOA included the following additional change:
• Per WIOA Section 133(b)(4), a local board may now transfer up to 100 percent of
funds between the Adult and Dislocated Worker funding streams if approved by their
Governor.
While the WIOA allotments for States are based on formula provisions contained in WIOA
(see Attachment A for WIOA and Wagner-Peyser formula descriptions), the WIOA
allotments for the outlying areas (e.g., American Samoa, Guam, Northern Marianas, Palau,
and the Virgin Islands) are now based on a competitive grant process (see WIOA sections
127(b)(1)(B)(ii), 132(b)(1)(A)(ii), and 132(b)(2)(A)(ii)). Using the transition authority
provided in WIOA Section 503(b), ETA will delay implementation of a competitive grant
process for outlying areas until PY 2016. For PY 2015, outlying area grant amounts will be
based on the administrative formula determined by the Secretary that was used under WIA.
The Marshall Islands and Micronesia receive funding from the Department of Education’s
appropriation rather than WIOA Title 1 funding (see WIOA section 512(g)(1) updates to the
Compact of Free Association Amendments of 2003, Pub. L. 108-188 (December 17, 2003),
codified at 48 U.S.C. 1921d(f)(1)(B)(iii)(the “Compact”). WIOA also updated the Compact
so that the Republic of Palau remained eligible for WIOA Title I funding. See 48
U.S.C.1921d(f)(1)(B)(ix). The Consolidated and Further Continuing Appropriations Act,
2015 (Division G, Title III, Section 306 of Pub. L. 113-235) authorized WIOA Title I
funding to Palau through FY 2015.
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 2015 for WIOA Youth Activities totals
$831,842,000. After reducing the appropriation by $2,295,000 for evaluations,
$829,547,000 is available for Youth Activities, which includes $12,443,205 for Native
Americans, $815,061,036 for States, and $2,042,759 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 B contains a breakdown of the WIOA Youth Activities program allotments
by State for PY 2015 and provides a comparison of these allotments to PY 2014. Please
note that the Department of Labor (the Department) will provide the Native American
Youth allotments in a separate TEGL.
The three data factors required by WIOA for the PY 2015 Youth Activities State formula
allotments are:
1. The average number of unemployed individuals for Areas of Substantial
Unemployment (ASUs) for the 12-month period, July 2013 through June 2014, 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 as used for ASU unemployed
data; and,
3. The number of economically 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
economically disadvantaged Youth were collected between January 1, 2006, and
December 31, 2010.
Since the total amount available for States in PY 2015 is below the required $1 billion
threshold specified in WIOA section 127(b)(1)(C)(iv)(IV), which was also the case in PY
2014, the Department did not apply the WIOA additional minimum provisions (see
Attachment A). Instead, as required by WIOA, the Job Training Partnership Act (JTPA)
(Pub. L. 97-300), section 262(a)(3) (as amended by section 207 of the Job Training
Reform Amendments of 1992 Pub. L. 102-367) minimums of 90 percent hold-harmless
of the prior year allotment percentage and 0.25 percent State minimum floor apply.
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 2015 Funding WIOA Agreement/Notice of Obligations (NOOs). Upon execution of
the PY 2015 WIOA Annual Funding Agreement/NOO, Youth program funds will be
available for States to use.
C. Within-State Allocations. States must distribute WIOA Youth Activities funds among
local workforce investment areas (subject to reservation of the 10 percent limitation for
statewide workforce investment activities as discussed in the Background Section of this
TEGL) in accordance with the provisions of WIOA section 128 and the approved
WIA/Wagner-Peyser Act State Plan. For purposes of identifying ASUs for the within-
State Youth Activities allocation formula, states should use data made available by BLS
(as described in LAUS Technical Memorandum No. S-14-22). For purposes of
determining the number of economically disadvantaged Youth for the statutory formula,
States should use the special tabulations of ACS data available at
http://www.doleta.gov/budget/disadvantagedYouthAdults.cfm for the within-State Youth
program allocations. See TEGL 21-12 for further information.
D. Transfers of Funds. Local workforce investment areas do not have the authority to
transfer funds to or from the Youth Activities program.
E. Reallotment of Funds. The Secretary of Labor reallots Youth Activities program formula
funds, as provided for by WIOA Section 127(c), based on completed PY financial reports
that the States submitted. The Department will reallot funds among States under WIOA
during PY 2015 based on State obligations made during PY 2014 (ETA will continue to
reallot in accordance with 20 CFR §667.150 pending publication of the WIOA
regulations).
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 2015 is
$776,736,000. After reducing the appropriated amount by $2,143,000 for evaluations,
$774,593,000 remains for Adult Activities, of which $772,656,517 is for states and
$1,936,483 is for outlying areas. Attachment C shows the PY 2015 Adult Employment
and Training Activities allotments and a State by State comparison of the PY 2015
allotments to PY 2014 allotments.
The three formula data factors for the Adult Activities program are the same as those
used for the Youth Activities formula, except the Department used data for the number of
economically disadvantaged Adults (age 18 to 72, excluding college students in the
workforce and military). Since the total amount available for the Adult Activities
program for States in PY 2015 is below the required $960 million threshold specified in
WIOA section 132(b)(1)(B)(iv)(IV), as was also the case in PY 2014, the WIOA
additional minimum provisions (See Attachment A) are not applicable. Instead, as
required by WIOA, the JTPA section 202(b)(2) (as amended by section 202 of the Job
Training Reform Amendments of 1992) minimums of 90 percent hold-harmless of the
prior year allotment percentage and 0.25 percent State minimum floor apply. Also, like
for the Youth program, 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 2015 Funding WIOA Agreement/Notices of Obligation (NOOs). For PY 2015,
Congress appropriated funds for this program in two portions: $64,736,000 is available
for obligation on July 1, 2015 (PY 2015), and $712,000,000 available for obligation on
October 1, 2015 (FY 2016). The Department elected to use the funding available on
October 1, 2015 for the evaluations set aside, reducing the amount available for Adult
Activities on October 1, 2015 to $709,857,000. The Department prorated allotments to
States and outlying areas based on these total amounts and will issue two NOOs: one for
July 1, 2015, under the PY 2015 WIOA grant agreement, and the other for October 1,
2015, also under the PY 2015 WIOA grant agreement (see Attachment D).
C. Within-State Allocations. States must distribute WIOA Adult Activities funds for PY
2015 allotments among local workforce investment areas (subject to reservation of the 10
percent limitation for statewide workforce investment activities) in accordance with the
provisions in WIOA section 133 and the approved WIA/Wagner-Peyser Act State Plan.
The 10 percent which may be retained for statewide activities must be calculated on the
total final allotment for PY 2015.
Similar to the Youth Activities program, for purposes of identifying ASUs for the within-
state Adult Activities allocation formula, States should use the data made available by
BLS (as described in LAUS Technical Memorandum No. S-14-22). For purposes of
developing the number of economically disadvantaged Adults for the statutory formula,
States should use the special tabulations of ACS data available at
http://www.doleta.gov/budget/disadvantagedYouthAdults.cfm for the within-state Adult
allocations. See TEGL 21-12 for further information.
D. Transfers of Funds. WIOA section 133(b)(4) provides the authority for local workforce
investment areas, with approval of the Governor, to transfer up to 100 percent of the
Adult Activities funds to Dislocated Worker Activities, and up to 100 percent of
Dislocated Worker Activities funds to Adult Activities.
E. Reallotment of Funds. Reallotment of Adult Activities program formula funds, as
provided for by WIOA section 132(c), is based on completed financial reports submitted
by the States. The Department will reallot funds among States under WIOA during PY
2015 based on State obligations of PY 2014 funds made during PY 2014 (ETA will
continue to reallot in accordance with 20 CFR §667.150 pending publication of the
WIOA regulations).
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 2015 totals $1,236,389,000.
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 $3,411,000 for evaluations, a total of $1,232,978,000 remains
available for Dislocated Worker activities. The amount available for outlying areas is
$3,082,445, leaving $217,167,555 for the National Reserve and a total of $1,012,728,000
available for States.
A. State Allotments. Attachment E shows the PY 2015 Dislocated Worker activities
allotments and a State by State comparison of the PY 2015 allotments to PY 2014
allotments.
The three data factors required in WIOA for the PY 2015 Dislocated Worker State
formula allotments are:
1. The number of unemployed, averaged for the 12-month period, October 2013
through September 2014;
2. The number of excess unemployed, averaged for the 12-month period, October
2013 through September 2014; and
3. The number of long-term unemployed, averaged for the 12-month period, October
2013 through September 2014.
B. PY 2015 Funding WIOA Agreement/NOOs. For PY 2015, Congress appropriated funds
for this program in two portions for both formula funds and National Reserve funds. For
State formula funds, $155,530,000 is available for obligation on July 1, 2015 (PY 2015),
and $860,000,000 is available for obligation on October 1, 2015 (FY 2016). For the
National Reserve, which includes funds for the outlying areas, $20,859,000 is available
for obligation on July 1, 2015 (PY 2015), and $200,000,000 is available for obligation on
October 1, 2015 (FY 2016). The Department elected to use the funding available on
October 1, 2015 for the evaluations set aside, reducing the amount available for State
formula funds on October 1, 2015 to $857,198,000 and for the National Reserve to
$199,391,000. 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 NOOs: one for July 1, 2015, under the PY 2015 WIOA grant agreement, and the
other for October 1, 2015, (also under the PY 2015 WIOA grant agreement) (see
Attachment F).
C. Within-State Allocations. Dislocated Worker Activities funds for PY 2015 allotments are
to be distributed among local workforce investment areas (subject to the Governor’s
reservation of up to 25 percent for statewide rapid response activities under WIOA 133
and the 10 percent limitation for statewide workforce investment activities as discussed in
the Background Section of this TEGL) in accordance with the provisions in WIOA section
133 and the approved WIA/Wagner-Peyser Act State Plan. States must calculate the 10
percent which may be retained for statewide activities on the total final allotment for PY
2015. WIOA provisions regarding within-state allocation minimum percentages do not go
into effect until PY 2016.
D. Transfers of Funds. WIOA section 133(b)(4) provides the authority for local workforce
investment areas, with approval of the Governor, to transfer up to 100 percent of the Adult
Activities funds to Dislocated Worker Activities, and up to 100 percent of Dislocated
Worker Activities funds to Adult Activities.
E. Reallotment of Funds. The Department bases reallotment of Dislocated Worker program
formula funds, as provided for by WIOA section 132(c), on completed financial reports
submitted by the States. The Department will reallot funds among States under WIOA
during PY 2015 based on State obligations made during PY 2014 (ETA will continue to
reallot in accordance with 20 CFR § 667.150 pending publication of the WIOA
regulations).
7. Wagner-Peyser ES Final Allotments. The appropriated level for PY 2015 for grants for the
ES program was $664,184,000. After reducing the appropriation by $1,784,000 for
evaluations, $662,400,000 is available for the ES programs. After determining the funding
for outlying areas, 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 2015 formula allotments on each
State’s share of calendar year 2014 monthly averages of the Civilian Labor Force (CLF) and
unemployment. The distribution of Wagner-Peyser Act funds for PY 2015 includes
$660,785,299 for States, as well as $1,614,701 for outlying areas. Attachment G shows the
distribution of PY 2015 ES formula amounts by State compared to PY 2014.
Under section 7(b) of the Wagner-Peyser Act, ten percent of the total sums allotted to each
State shall be reserved for use by the governor to provide performance incentives, services
for groups with special needs, and for the extra costs of exemplary models for delivering job
services.
8. Workforce Information Grants. Total funds for PY 2015 are $32,000,000. Funds are
distributed to States by administrative formula with $176,800 for Guam and the Virgin
Islands. Guam and the Virgin Islands allotment amounts are partially based on CLF data.
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 2014. The allotment figures are listed in Attachment H. Policy guidance
on the use of workforce information grants will be forthcoming.
9. Submission. In order to achieve greater efficiency and as part of ETA’s ongoing effort to
streamline the mandatory grant award process, all States 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:
• ETA-TEGL-PY-YOUTH-2015 [CFDA 17.259]
• ETA-TEGL-PY-FY-ADULT-2015 [CFDA 17.258]
• ETA-TEGL-PY-FY-DW-2015 [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 May 12th, 2015. The
WIOA Youth funds will be awarded in May 2015. The PY 2015 “base” allotment of WIOA
Adult and Dislocated Worker funds will be awarded during the period of availability
beginning July 2015. The FY 2016 “advance” allotment will be awarded in the period of
availability starting October 2015. A copy of the executed PY 2015 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-2015 [CFDA 17.207]
• ETA-TEGL-WIG-2015 [CFDA 17.207]
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 May 30,
2015. The Wagner-Peyser Employment Service Program and Workforce Information funds
will be awarded in July 2015. A copy of the executed PY 2015 ES Agreement will be
available upon award of funds.
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.
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, as these are mandatory grants, not competitive funding opportunities.
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 Ms. Sharon Carter, 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 WIA 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) until revised
WIOA quarter financial status reports become available. These seven WIA reports provide
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.
12. Inquiries. Questions regarding these allotments may be directed to the appropriate Regional
Office. Information on allotments and planning requirements may also be found on the ETA
Web site at http://www.doleta.gov.

State Allotment Formula Descriptions
WIOA Youth Activities
Formula:
1/3: State relative share of total unemployed in areas of substantial unemployment (ASU) (average 12 months ending 6/30)
1/3: State relative share of excess unemployed (average 12 months ending 6/30)
1/3: State relative share of economically disadvantaged youth (American Community Survey 2006-2010)
Minimums:
(a) If total amount available for States is $1 billion or less:
State allotment cannot be less than
(1) 90 percent of State relative share of prior year funding
(2) 0.25 percent of total available funds for States
(b) If total amount available for States exceeds $1 billion:
State allotment cannot be less than
(1) 90 percent of State relative share of prior year funding
(2) 1998 allotment amount
(3) 0.3 percent of first $1 billion plus 0.4 percent of amount over $1 billion
Maximum:
130% of State relative share of prior year funding
WIOA Adult Activities
Same as Youth Activities, except
(a) Formula uses economically disadvantaged ADULTS instead of YOUTH
(b) Threshold for selecting minimum provisions is $960 million instead of $1 billion
WIOA Dislocated Workers
Formula:
1/3: State relative share of total unemployed (average 12 months ending 09/30)
1/3: State relative share of excess unemployed (average 12 months ending 09/30)
1/3: State relative share of long-term unemployed (average 12 months ending 09/30)
Minimum: none in PY 2015
Maximum: none in PY 2015
Employment Service (Wagner-Peyser Act)
Formula for 97% of funds:
2/3: State relative share of civilian labor force (average 12 months ending 9/30 (preliminary) or 12/31 (final))
1/3: State relative share of total unemployment (average 12 months ending 9/30 (preliminary) or 12/31 (final))
Minimums:
(a) 90 percent of State relative share of prior year funding
(b) 0.28 percent of total available funds for States
Maximum:
Distribution of 3% of funds:
(1) States with civilian labor force below 1 million and under the national median civilian labor force density receive an amount
which, when added to their share of the 97 percent portion, will result in an amount equal to 100 percent of their relative share of
the prior year funding
(2) Remaining States losing in relative share receive a share of the remaining funds prorated based on the amount needed to achieve
100 percent of their relative share of prior year funding.
