ADVISORY:        UNEMPLOYMENT INSURANCE PROGRAM LETTER NO. 06-23

TO:              STATE WORKFORCE AGENCIES

FROM:            BRENT PARTON
                 Acting Assistant Secretary

SUBJECT:         Administrative Funding to Support States’ Participation and Correspondence
                 with Federal Partners Regarding Ongoing Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and
                 Economic Security (CARES) Act Program Activity

1. Purpose. This Unemployment Insurance Program Letter (UIPL) is to inform states regarding
   the availability of additional funding to support states’ participation and correspondence with
   the U.S. Department of Labor (Department), Employment and Training Administration’s
   (ETA’s) outreach efforts regarding ongoing CARES Act program activity, commonly
   referred to as ETA’s “well-defined ask”.

2. Action Requested. ETA requests that State Workforce Agency Administrators:

   •    Review the funding opportunity to determine if the state will apply for funds under this
        solicitation;
   •    Coordinate with appropriate state staff to develop an SF-424 for each applicable CARES
        Act unemployment compensation (UC) program under this solicitation;
   •    Submit each form via www.grants.gov and by e-mail to the Office of Unemployment
        Insurance (OUI) at [email protected], with a copy to the appropriate ETA
        Regional Office no later than the close of business on June 16, 2023. The subject line of
        the e-mail should include the name of the state and the title “ETA CARES Act Outreach
        Administrative Funding.” ETA will award funding in the order the applications for
        funding are received and will begin submitting grants awards upon receipt of states’
        applications.

3. Summary and Background.

   a. Summary – The Department is making a total of $3.14 million in administrative funding
      available to states to support participation and correspondence with ETA’s outreach
      regarding ongoing activity related to specific CARES Act programs. This funding
      opportunity covers program specific costs and provides states with up to $20,000 for costs
      incurred as a result of states efforts related to the Pandemic Unemployment


 RESCISSIONS                                              EXPIRATION DATE
 None                                                     Continuing

         Assistance (PUA) program, $15,000 for costs incurred as a result of states efforts related
         to the Pandemic Emergency Unemployment Compensation (PEUC) program, $15,000
         for costs incurred as a result of states efforts related to the Federal Pandemic
         Unemployment Compensation (FPUC) program, and $10,000 for costs incurred as a
         result of states efforts related to the Mixed Earners Unemployment Compensation
         (MEUC) program.

         In recognition that states’ efforts in support of these discussions is in addition to
         significant and ongoing workloads impacting state UI systems as a result of both the
         CARES Act programs and the continuing operation of the regular UI system, the
         Department has determined that additional funding is both appropriate and, in many
         cases, necessary for states to reasonably coordinate with Federal officials in support of
         this effort.

         To obtain this funding, states are required to submit a SF-424 for each funding allotment
         (i.e., one SF-424 for FPUC funding, one SF-424 for PUA funding, one SF-424 for PEUC
         funding, and one SF-424 for MEUC funding as appropriate). ETA encourages states to
         submit these forms as soon as possible, but no later than June 16, 2023, via
         www.grants.gov. Attachment I lists the amounts of funding available for each state by
         program. Attachment II provides additional information on completing the SF-424.

    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, as well as creating 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. ARPA also provided a $2 billion
       appropriation to the Department for purposes of strengthening the national UI system. 1

4. Funding to Support States’ Participation and Correspondence with ETA’s Outreach
   Efforts Regarding Ongoing CARES Act Program Activities.

    a. Amount Available to States. The Department is providing an additional $3.14 million
       in administrative funding to states to support this effort. This funding opportunity is
       provided to cover program specific costs and includes up to $20,000 for costs incurred as
       a result of states efforts related to the PUA program, up to $15,000 for costs incurred as a
       result of states efforts related to the PEUC program, up to $15,000 for costs incurred as a
       result of states efforts related to the FPUC program, and up to $10,000 for costs incurred

 With this appropriation under ARPA, the Department has offered additional funding opportunities to states to be
used towards all UC programs in the support of: (1) fraud detection and prevention, including identity verification
and overpayment recovery activities; and (2) promoting equitable access; and (3) improving timeliness of UC
payments to eligible individuals.




         as a result of states efforts related to the MEUC program. Attachment I lists the amounts
         of funding available for each state by program 2.

         These grants are subject to the requirements of 2 CFR Parts 200 and 2900, Uniform
         Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal
         Awards.

                i.    Applicable CARES Act UC programs. States may use these funds for
                      administrative activity related to the PUA, PEUC, FPUC, and MEUC
                      programs in accordance with the allowable uses described in Section 4.b. of
                      this UIPL.

               ii.    Application of Sequestration. As noted in Section 4.c. of UIPL No. 04-23,
                      the final amounts provided to states will be subject to sequestration, so the
                      amounts awarded to states will be reduced by the FY 2023 sequestration rate
                      of 5.7 percent.

    b. Allowable Uses of Funds. States may use these funds to support staff participation in
       discussions with ETA, internal planning and coordination meetings, and any information
       technology and/or programming costs incurred as a result of states’ efforts to provide
       background and information to ETA with regard to ongoing state operations only of the
       four covered CARES Act UC programs. 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 proration of expenses is appropriate where necessary to
       ensure effective application of the funding across efforts related to each program. These
       funds may be used to cover project costs in the quarter prior to the quarter in which the
       funds are awarded.

    c. Application Instructions. States are required to submit a SF-424 (OMB No. 4040-0004)
       https://apply07.grants.gov/apply/forms/sample/SF424_4_0-V4.0.pdf for each funding
       allotment as applicable (i.e., one SF-424 for PUA, one SF-424 for PEUC, one SF-424 for
       FPUC, and one SF-424 for MEUC). Attachment II provides additional information on
       completing the SF-424.

         ETA encourages states to submit each SF-424 as soon as possible, but no later than June
         16, 2023, via www.grants.gov and by e-mail to OUI at [email protected] with a
         copy to the appropriate ETA Regional Office. ETA will award funding in the order the
         applications for funding are received and will begin submitting grants awards upon
         receipt of states’ applications.



 Although the Pacific territories and freely associated states provided PUA and FPUC benefit payments, this
funding is not available to these entities because they are not included in ETA’s outreach efforts, which are focused
on states with permanent UI programs.




   d. Reporting Requirements. States must provide a narrative Quarterly Progress Report
      (ETA 9178-P) and Quarterly Financial Report (ETA 9130) containing updates on the
      progress and implementation of each project. ETA will use the ETA 9178-P to track
      each state’s progress on activities and ensure that a state’s use of funds is consistent with
      the permissible activities outlined in this UIPL. The Department expects to award these
      funds prior to June 30, 2023, and so the first ETA 9178-P report under this UIPL will be
      due August 14, 2023.

5. Inquiries. States should direct inquiries to the appropriate ETA Regional Office.
   Additionally, states should submit each SF-424 as described in Section 4.c. of this UIPL via
   www.grants.gov and by e-mail to OUI at [email protected], with a copy to the
   appropriate ETA Regional Office, no later than the close of business on June 16, 2023. ETA
   will award funding in the order the applications for funding are received and will begin
   submitting grants awards upon receipt of states’ applications.
