Ongoing administrative funding for expired pandemic unemployment programs
Summary ETA explains how states can request continuing workload-based administrative funding for four expired pandemic unemployment programs: PUA, PEUC, FPUC and MEUC. States must use separate grants and submit a form for each program, then report workload and allocate costs to the right program. The letter concerns remaining administration such as payments for eligible past weeks, overpayment work, audits and data retention, rather than new benefit eligibility periods.

ADVISORY: UNEMPLOYMENT INSURANCE PROGRAM LETTER NO. 02-25
TO: STATE WORKFORCE AGENCIES
FROM: JOSÉ JAVIER RODRÍGUEZ
Assistant Secretary
SUBJECT: Instructions to States for Ongoing Workload-Based Administrative Funding for
the Federal Benefit Programs Under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic
Security (CARES) Act, as amended
1. Purpose. To provide states with instructions for requesting continued workload-based
administrative funding for CARES Act benefit programs. The programs covered under this
Unemployment Insurance Program Letter (UIPL) include Pandemic Emergency
Unemployment Compensation (PEUC), Pandemic Unemployment Assistance (PUA),
Federal Pandemic Unemployment Compensation (FPUC), and Mixed Earners
Unemployment Compensation (MEUC).
2. Action Requested. The U. S. Department of Labor’s (Department’s) Employment and
Training Administration (ETA) requests that State Workforce Agency (SWA) Administrators
provide the information in this UIPL and the attachments to appropriate state staff to:
a. Provide instructions for how to apply for continued CARES Act administrative
funding;
b. Notify the appropriate regional office of any questions or concerns as soon as
possible after receiving this UIPL;
c. Submit a new SF-424 (OMB Approval No. 4040-0004) for each applicable CARES
Act Unemployment Compensation (UC) program.
3. Summary and Background.
a. Summary – This UIPL provides states with information and guidance on the process to
apply for continued administrative funding for CARES Act UC programs following the
expiration of the original CARES Act grants under which these programs were
previously funded. Such funding is provided in accordance with the “Agreement
Implementing the Relief for Workers Affected by Coronavirus Act” (Agreement)
including associated amendments, that all states signed with the Secretary of Labor
(Secretary) in March 2020 to administer the CARES Act UC programs. States must
administer these programs in accordance with the CARES Act, as amended, and guidance
and operating instructions provided by the Department. This includes the requirement
RESCISSIONS EXPIRATION DATE
None Continuing
that states provide program information through the relevant required reports and
properly allocate costs across UC programs.
The original period of performance for CARES Act administrative grants were scheduled
to expire on June 30, 2024, though some states were issued extensions. While ETA will
continue to address period of performance extension requests on a case-by-case basis,
once the period of performance expires on these grants, they will be closed out by ETA’s
Office of Grants Management. Regardless of whether an extension was granted, all new
administrative funding for the CARES Act programs will be issued through a new series
of program specific CARES Act grants. States requesting any CARES Act administrative
funding for ongoing workload activities will need to submit a new SF-424 for each
program for which it wishes to receive new workload based administrative funding as
instructed in section 4 of this UIPL. The guidance in this UIPL applies to state UC
programs operated in a "state" as defined in 3306(j)(1), FUTA (26 U.S.C. 3306(j)(1)). An
additional funding opportunity applicable to the Pacific territories which entered into
agreements with the Secretary to operate the PUA and FPUC programs will be
announced at a later date.
b. Background – The CARES Act (Public Law (Pub. L.) 116-136) was enacted on March
27, 2020, and created new temporary UC programs, including PUA, FPUC, and PEUC.
See UIPL No. 14-20. The Continued Assistance for Unemployed Workers Act of 2020
(Continued Assistance Act) (Pub. L. 116-260) was enacted on December 27, 2020, and
amended and extended the CARES Act UC programs and created the MEUC program.
See UIPL No. 09-21. The American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (ARPA) (Pub. L. 117-2)
was enacted on March 11, 2021, and further amended and extended the CARES Act UC
programs. See UIPL No. 14-21.
All states signed an Agreement with the Secretary in March 2020 to administer the PUA,
FPUC, and PEUC programs. The Agreement incorporates amendments to the CARES
Act made by the Continued Assistance Act, including the addition of the MEUC
program, and ARPA. The eligibility period for benefits covered by the CARES Act UC
programs expired on September 6, 2021, though some states chose to end participation in
some or all of these programs earlier. Per the Agreement, states must continue to process
and pay benefits to eligible individuals under the CARES Act UC programs for all weeks
of unemployment ending on or before the date of the Agreement termination or program
expiration (whichever comes first). In addition, states must also continue efforts to report
on program activities, retain claims data, detect and recover overpayments, address
ongoing audits and unresolved findings, and reconcile financial activities associated with
these programs (see UIPL No. 14-21, Change 1).
On August 26, 2024, ETA published UIPL No. 17-24 providing states with an
opportunity to apply for additional administrative funding through a supplemental budget
request for PUA, PEUC, and FPUC in addition to funding to cover costs associated with
reconciliation for the temporary funding for the first compensable week in states with
either a waived waiting week or no waiting week available under Section 2105 of the
CARES Act. As noted in that UIPL, states will also continue to be eligible to receive
administrative funding based on ongoing workload activities reported through the
relevant workload reports as discussed in UIPL No. 15-20 (FPUC), UIPL No. 16-20
including changes (PUA), UIPL No. 17-20 (PEUC), and UIPL No. 15-20, Change 3
(MEUC).
Following the expiration of prior temporary Federal UC programs, ETA has provided
ongoing administrative funding through the states’ underlying regular UI grants, however
due to new administrative procedures required due to the transition from eGrants to
GrantSolutions and to ensure proper and effective monitoring of UI grant activity, this
will no longer be an option. As a result, each program will require its own separate grant
to which workload-based administrative funding will be awarded.
4. Instructions for Obtaining Ongoing Administrative Grants for CARES Act UC
Programs. To receive ongoing workload-based administrative funding for the four CARES
Act programs addressed in this UIPL, states must follow the instructions outlined below.
These instructions, and the associated grants, are program specific and a state must submit
the required forms separately for each program as outlined in the relevant sections below.
States are reminded that activities associated with each of the referenced CARES Act
programs must be funded using the appropriate program’s funding, and that expenses should
be prorated where necessary to ensure effective application of the funding across efforts
related to each program.
Additionally, states are reminded that within the context of administering these CARES Act
programs, they must disclose all information to DOL-OIG for the purposes of investigating
UC fraud and auditing UC programs (see Section 5 of UIPL No. 04-17, Change 1).
a. PUA
i. Workload Reporting. PUA program activity should continue to be reported on
the ETA 902P PUA Activities report as outlined in UIPL 16-20, including
changes. States’ earnings for continuing PUA administrative funding will
continue to be determined using the state’s reported workload activities for
initial applications (column 1, line 101), weeks claimed (column 4, line 101),
appeals disposed (column 10, line 201), and the number of monetary
redeterminations reported in the comments section of the report and labeled
“Monetary Redeterminations = “######”” (see UIPL No. 16-20 Change 4,
Attachment I, Section E.3.) The latest version of the ETA 902P reporting
instructions are available in UIPL No. 16-20, Change 6, Attachment IV.
ii. Administrative Earnings. The administrative earnings for PUA are computed in
column 17, line 301 for each monthly ETA 902P report. The administrative
funding calculations within the report incorporate the same minute per unit
factors and salary rates used in the computation of the regular UC program
above-base administrative earnings. These calculated earnings, plus any
additional funding based on monetary redeterminations reported in the
comments section of the report, will determine the administrative funding
earned by the state for each month.
iii. Report Period for New Grants. The final payment for PUA administrative
funding on states’ original CARES Act grants included administrative earnings
reported through the 12/31/2023 902P report. As a result, administrative
earnings under the new grant will be compiled beginning with the January 31,
2024, 902P report for each state.
iv. Application of Sequestration. As noted in Section 4.c. of UIPL No. 01-25, the
amounts awarded for these administrative grant funds are subject to
sequestration. As a result, the final amounts awarded to states within FY 2025
will reflect a 5.7 percent sequestration reduction from the total amount
compiled from the ETA 902P reports as detailed in Section 4.a.i. of this UIPL.
v. Application Instructions: In order to receive this continuing workload-based
administrative funding, states must submit an SF-424 form (OMB No. 4040-
0004), available through grants.gov at the following URL
https://www.grants.gov/forms/forms-repository/sf-424-family for an estimated
amount of funding under this grant.
The SF-424 requires “Estimated Funding” to be entered in field 18 of the form.
For this submission, states may use the total administrative earnings as
calculated in column 17, line 301 of its ETA 902P reports for the period from
October 31, 2022, through September 30, 2024, not including any additional
earnings from monetary redeterminations based on data reported through the
comments field for those reports. States may determine this amount by adding
the total of column 17, line 301 from their submitted reports from October
2022 through September 2024 or by requesting this information from the
Division of Fiscal and Actuarial Services via email at UI-
[email protected], including the appropriate Regional Office contact in
the message. A revised SF-424 may be required if the state’s actual earnings on
the new grant exceed this amount, but this estimated figure is expected to be
sufficient in most cases.
Attachment I of this UIPL provides additional information on completing and
submitting the SF-424. States must input the UIPL number and grant name as
“UIPL No. 02-25 PUA Workload Funding”. The period of performance for
these grants will begin July 1, 2024, or 90-days prior to the start of the quarter
in which the first award is made, and end December 31, 2025. States must
apply for this funding opportunity through the submission of the SF-424 which
must be received no later than 30 days after publication date of this UIPL,
via www.grants.gov.
This grant is subject to the requirements of 2 CFR Parts 200 and 2900.
vi. Grant reporting requirements. States must provide a Quarterly Financial Report
(ETA 9130, OMB Approval No. 1205-0461) reflecting the quarterly financial
activity on this grant. States must submit the report covering activity in the first
quarter in which these grant funds are awarded. Therefore, if a state first
receives funding on this grant in the 4th quarter of Calendar Year 2024, the
state’s first ETA 9130 report will be due for the quarter ending December 31,
2024, with a due date of February 15, 2025. No Quarterly Progress Report
(ETA 9178) is required for this grant.
b. PEUC
i. Workload Reporting. PEUC program activity should continue to be reported as
outlined in UIPL No. 17-20. PEUC activity for administrative funding
purposes is based on the following workload reports: ETA 5159 PEUC
(ap5159) for initial claims and continued claims, ETA 207 PEUC (ap207) for
nonmonetary determinations, and ETA 5130 PEUC (ap5130) for appeals.
These workload counts will continue to be included in the quarterly ETA UI-3
report under the relevant third-tier program lines and administrative earnings
will be computed based on states’ ETA UI-3 report submissions.
ii. Administrative Earnings. As noted above, administrative earnings for PEUC
are calculated in the quarterly ETA UI-3 report. In this report, staff years
worked/earned are computed for each workload category under the third-tier
program lines and totaled along with the regular UI staff years worked/earned
to determine above base administrative earnings. Administrative funding for
PEUC activity is removed from the regular earnings and paid separately
through states’ PEUC grants. This process remains unchanged for the new
PEUC grants.
iii. Report Period for New Grants. The final payment for PEUC administrative
funding on states’ original CARES Act grants included administrative funding
earned through the December 31, 2023, PEUC workload and ETA UI-3
reports. As a result, the new grant will include administrative earnings reported
beginning with the March 31, 2024, UI-3 report for each state. This period
includes workload counts beginning January 1, 2024.
iv. Application of Sequestration. As noted in Section 4.c. of UIPL No. 01-25, the
amounts awarded for these administrative grant funds are subject to
sequestration. As a result, the final amounts awarded to states will reflect a 5.7
percent sequestration reduction from the PEUC earnings as determined in the
ETA UI-3 report as detailed in Section 4.b.i. and 4.b.ii. of this UIPL.
v. Application Instructions: In order to receive this continuing workload-based
administrative funding, states must submit an SF-424 form (OMB No. 4040-
0004), available through grants.gov at the following URL
https://www.grants.gov/forms/forms-repository/sf-424-family for an estimated
amount of funding under this grant.
The SF-424 requires “Estimated Funding” to be entered in field 18 of the form.
For this submission, states should use the total administrative earnings received
for PEUC for the period from October 31, 2022, through December 31,
2023. States may determine this amount on their own by using their previous
Notice of Awards (NOA) for the defined period, or by requesting this
information from the Division of Fiscal and Actuarial Services via email at UI-
[email protected], including the appropriate Regional Office contact in
the message. A revised SF-424 may be required if the state’s actual earnings on
the new grant exceed this amount, but this estimated figure is expected to be
sufficient in most cases.
Attachment I of this UIPL provides additional information on completing and
submitting the SF-424. States must input the UIPL number and grant name as
“UIPL No. 02-25 PEUC Workload Funding”. The period of performance for
these grants will begin July 1, 2024, or 90-days prior to the start of the quarter
in which the first award is made, and end December 31, 2025. States must
apply for this funding opportunity through the submission of the SF-424 which
must be received no later than 30 days after publication date of this UIPL,
via www.grants.gov.
This grant is subject to the requirements of 2 CFR Parts 200 and 2900.
vi. Grant reporting requirements. In addition to continuing to report the UI
required reports reflecting PEUC program activity when there is such activity
to report (zero filled reports are generally not required if there is no activity to
report), states must provide a Quarterly Financial Report (ETA 9130, OMB
Approval No. 1205-0461) reflecting the quarterly financial activity on this
grant. States must submit the report covering activity in the first quarter in
which these grant funds are awarded. Therefore, if a state first receives funding
on this grant in the 4th quarter of Calendar Year 2024, the state’s first ETA
9130 report will be due for the quarter ending December 31, 2024, with a due
date of February 15, 2025. No Quarterly Progress Report (ETA 9178) is
required for this grant.
c. MEUC
i. Workload Reporting. MEUC program activity should continue to be reported
as outlined in UIPL No. 15-20, Change 3. States’ administrative funding for
the MEUC program is determined based on reported workload activities for
initial applications (column 1, line 101) and appeals disposed (column 6, line
201) on the ETA 902M report. Administrative funding for MEUC is
automatically computed within the 902M report form in the UI reporting
system once data is entered and the report is saved by the user.
ii. Administrative Earnings. As noted above, administrative earnings for MEUC
are computed within the monthly 902M report. The administrative funding
calculations within the 902M report incorporate the same minute per unit
factors and salary rates used in the computation of the regular UC program
above-base administrative earnings. The factors and salary rates used will be
based on the fiscal year of the report and this process will remain unchanged
for the new grants.
iii. Report Period for New Grants. The final payment for MEUC administrative
funding on states’ original CARES Act grants included administrative funding
earned through the July 31, 2023. As a result, the new grant will include
administrative earnings beginning with the August 31, 2023, 902M report for
each state.
iv. Application of Sequestration. As noted in Section 4.c. of UIPL No. 01-25, the
amounts awarded for these administrative grant funds are subject to
sequestration. As a result, the final amounts awarded to states will reflect a 5.7
percent sequestration reduction from the MEUC earnings as determined in the
ETA 902M report as detailed in Section 4.c.i. and 4.c.ii. of this UIPL.
v. Application Instructions: In order to receive this continuing workload-based
administrative funding, states must submit an SF-424 form (OMB No. 4040-
0004), available through grants.gov at the following URL
https://www.grants.gov/forms/forms-repository/sf-424-family for an estimated
amount of funding under this grant.
The SF-424 requires “Estimated Funding” to be entered in field 18 of the form.
For this submission, states may use the total administrative earnings as
calculated on line 301 of the ETA 902M reports for the period from August
31, 2022, through September 30, 2024. States may determine this amount by
adding the total of line 301 for of their submitted reports from August 2022
through September 2024 or by requesting this information from the Division of
Fiscal and Actuarial Services via email at [email protected],
including the appropriate Regional Office contact in the message. A revised
SF-424 will be required if the state’s actual earnings on the new grant exceed
this amount, however this estimated figure is expected to be sufficient in most
cases.
Attachment I of this UIPL provides additional information on completing and
submitting the SF-424. States must input the UIPL number and grant name as
“UIPL No. 02-25 MEUC Workload Funding”. The period of performance for
these grants will begin July 1, 2024, or 90-days prior to the start of the quarter
in which the first award is made, and end December 31, 2025. States must
apply for this funding opportunity through the submission of the SF-424 which
must be received no later than 30 days after publication date of this UIPL,
via www.grants.gov.
This grant is subject to the requirements of 2 CFR Parts 200 and 2900.
vi. Grant reporting requirements. In addition to continuing to report the UI
required reports reflecting MEUC program activity when there is such activity
to report (zero filled reports are generally not required if there is no activity to
report), states must provide a Quarterly Financial Report (ETA 9130, OMB
Approval No. 1205-0461) reflecting the quarterly financial activity on this
grant. States must submit the report covering activity in the first quarter in
which these grant funds are awarded. Therefore, if a state first receives funding
on this grant in the 4th quarter of Calendar Year 2024, the state’s first ETA
9130 report will be due for the quarter ending December 31, 2024, with a due
date of February 15, 2025. No Quarterly Progress Report (ETA 9178) is
required for this grant.
d. FPUC
i. FPUC Administrative Cost Reporting. Unlike the three programs identified in
Sections 4.a., 4.b., and 4.c. of this UIPL, there is no administrative funding
computed based on reported workload items associated with the FPUC
program. As a result, states are to submit ongoing administrative costs
associated with the continued administration of the FPUC program through the
ETA UI-3 Above Base report field for “Other $”. These costs must be
identified in the comments section of the ETA UI-3 report as “FPUC admin =
$$$” as outlined in UIPL No. 15-20, Attachment I.
ii. Administrative Costs. As noted above, because the FPUC program provided a
flat amount of funding in addition to a claimants’ underlying program
entitlement, no additional claimant determination was required by the state. As
a result, there are no workload counts driving administrative earnings for the
administration of the FPUC program. States may report FPUC specific ongoing
administrative costs as outlined in UIPL No. 15-20, Attachment I, and Section
4.d.i. of this UIPL. States must be prepared to provide upon request complete
justification documentation for any ongoing costs requested for the ongoing
administration of the FPUC program.
iii. Report Period for New Grants. The final payment for FPUC administrative
funding on states’ original CARES Act grants included administrative costs
reported through the December 31, 2023, ETA UI-3 reports. As a result, the
new grant will include administrative costs reported beginning with the March
31, 2024, ETA UI-3 report for each state which covers the period beginning
January 1, 2024.
iv. Application of Sequestration. As noted in Section 4.c. of UIPL No. 01-25, the
amounts awarded for these administrative grant funds are subject to
sequestration. As a result, the final amounts awarded to states will reflect a 5.7
percent sequestration reduction from the FPUC earnings as determined in the
ETA UI-3 report as detailed in Section 4.d.i. and 4.d.ii. of this UIPL.
v. Application Instructions: In order to receive this continuing administrative
funding, states must submit an SF-424 form (OMB No. 4040-0004), available
through grants.gov at the following URL https://www.grants.gov/forms/forms-
repository/sf-424-family for an estimated amount of funding under this grant.
The SF-424 requires “Estimated Funding” to be entered in field 18 of the form.
For this submission, states may use the total amount of FPUC ongoing
administrative funding requested for the period from October 1, 2022, through
September 30, 2024 (if available), as an estimate of funding for the new grant
SF-424 submission. States may determine this amount from their own records
or by requesting this information from the Division of Fiscal and Actuarial
Services via email at [email protected], including the appropriate
Regional Office contact in the message. A revised SF-424 will be required if
the state’s actual earnings on the new grant exceed this amount, but this
estimated figure is expected to be sufficient in most cases.
Attachment I of this UIPL provides additional information on completing and
submitting the SF-424. States must input the UIPL number and grant name as
“UIPL No. 02-25 FPUC Workload Funding”. The period of performance for
these grants will begin July 1, 2024, or 90-days prior to the start of the quarter
in which the first award is made, and end December 31, 2025. States must
apply for this funding opportunity through the submission of the SF-424 which
must be received no later than 30 days after publication date of this UIPL,
via www.grants.gov.
This grant is subject to the requirements of 2 CFR Parts 200 and 2900.
vi. Grant reporting requirements. In addition to continuing to report the UI
required reports reflecting FPUC program activity when there is such activity
to report (zero filled reports are generally not required if there is no activity to
report), states must provide a Quarterly Financial Report (ETA 9130, OMB
Approval No. 1205-0461) reflecting the quarterly financial activity on this
grant. States must submit the report covering activity in the first quarter in
which these grant funds are awarded. Therefore, if a state first receives funding
on this grant in the 4th quarter of Calendar Year 2024, the state’s first ETA
9130 report will be due for the quarter ending December 31, 2024, with a due
date of February 15, 2025. No Quarterly Progress Report (ETA 9178) is
required for this grant.
5. Additional detail on the timing of funding awards. ETA will compile administrative
earnings on a biannual basis, however the amount of the administrative award and other
Federal office grant activities will dictate the ultimate award schedule both overall and at the
individual state level. The expected award schedule for these grants will be following the end
of the second and fourth FY quarters. An additional award will be made during the first
quarter of FY 2025 for earnings from the prior fiscal year, if the threshold amount described
in section 5.c., below, is met. Specifically, the following factors and considerations will be
used to determine the timing of the CARES Act grant awards:
a. ETA will give priority to issuing regular UI program grants, including base and above
base administrative funding, RESEA funding, and Disaster Unemployment
Assistance (DUA) and other ongoing benefit and administrative grants over the
issuance of these CARES Act administrative grants.
b. Grant processing schedules for other ETA program grants may also be taken into
account and prioritized over processing additional awards for CARES Act grants.
c. Awards will not be issued for amounts below a $500 threshold. For states with lower
administrative earnings under these CARES Act programs, ETA will wait to process
awards until the state’s cumulative earnings cross the $500 threshold. In order to
ensure complete administrative funding may be issued for states’ annual activities
through these annual grants, ETA may withhold a state’s initial award and provide the
full year’s administrative funding in a final end-of-period award. Final awards will be
issued through the fourth FY quarter distribution regardless of whether the $500
threshold has been met.
6. Inquiries. Please direct inquiries to the appropriate ETA Regional Office.

• Section # 8, APPLICANT INFORMATION:
o Legal Name: The legal name must match the name submitted with the System for
Award Management (SAM). Please refer to instructions at https://www.sam.gov
o Employer/Tax Identification Number (EIN/TIN): Input your correct 9-digit EIN
and ensure that it is recorded within SAM.
o Unique Entity Identifier Requirements
o Effective on April 4, 2022, the DUNS Number was replaced by a new, non-
proprietary identifier requested in and assigned by SAM.gov. This new identifier
is called the Unique Entity Identifier (UEI), or the Entity ID. To learn more about
SAM’s rollout of the UEI, please visit the U.S. General Services Administration
(GSA), Unique Entity Identifier Update webpage.
o If the grant award or cooperative agreement recipient is authorized to make
subawards under this award, then the recipient:
1. Must notify potential subrecipients that no entity (see definitions below)
may receive a subaward from the grant award recipient until the entity has
provided its UEI to the recipient.
2. May not make a subaward to an entity unless the entity has provided its
UEI to the grant or cooperative agreement recipient. Subrecipients are not
required to obtain an active SAM registration but must obtain a UEI.
o Please ensure that your state is registered with the SAM. Instructions for
registering with SAM can be found at https://www.sam.gov. Additionally, the
state 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 a
rejection of your submission.
