SUBJECT: Fiscal Year (FY) 2016 Advanced Funding Levels Available October 2015 for
Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) Programs.
1. Purpose. This guidance provides states with revised allotment levels for WIOA Adult and
Dislocated Worker FY 2016 funds, which became available to states in October 2015. This
Change 3 to TEGL 29-14 revises the funding available to states on October 2015 to reflect
the 0.2108 percent reduction enacted in the short-term Continuing Appropriations Resolution
for FY 2016.

3. Background. TEGL 29-14, issued on April 27, 2015, announced PY 2015 WIOA state
allotments. Subsequently Change 1, issued on May 1, 2015 rescinded TEGL 29-14,
correcting the due date for each of the SF-424 from April 18 to May 12, 2015 for the WIOA

funding streams for the Youth, Adult, and Dislocated Worker programs listed in section 9,
Submission, and leaving the rest of the TEGL unchanged. Change 2, issued on September 1,
2015, informed the workforce investment system of changes to previous guidance to TEGL
29-14, Change 1. One change corrected the Executive Level II salary cap to $183,300, and
the second change made four corrections to Attachment A. The remainder of the TEGL
remained unchanged.
This Change 3 TEGL informs the states of recent allotment adjustments necessary due to the
Continuing Appropriations Act, 2016, enacted on September 30, 2015, (henceforth referred
to as the “Continuing Resolution”). The Continuing Resolution reduced neither the WIOA
Youth Activities funds (available April 1, 2015) nor the base portion (available July 1, 2015)
of funding for Adult and Dislocated Worker activities. However, the Resolution did reduce
the FY 2016 advance funds for WIOA Adult and Dislocated Worker programs by 0.2108
percent. States’ Adult and Dislocated Worker FY 2016 advance allotments were reduced by
slightly more than 0.2108 percent because states absorbed the reduction associated with the
evaluation funds transferred to the Department’s Chief Evaluation Office (see attachment for
revised allotment levels).
4. Notice of Obligation (NOO). The Department will issue a NOO with the new FY 2016
advance amounts for the Adult and Dislocated Worker programs. Because ETA will take
into account the reduction when the NOO is issued, the states need take no further accounting
actions.
5. Possibility of a Rescission to FY 2016 Funding. It is possible that the final appropriation
for FY 2016 will contain a rescission greater than the 0.2108 percent reduction to the Adult
and Dislocated Worker Advance funding.
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
