TO: STATE WORKFORCE AGENCIES
FROM: LENITA JACOBS-SIMMONS
Deputy Assistant Secretary
SUBJECT: Corrected Attachment I to Unemployment Insurance Program Letter (UIPL)
No. 08-24
1. Purpose. This Change 1 corrects the Fiscal Year (FY) 2024 state formula allocations in
Attachment I for the Reemployment Services and Eligibility Assessments (RESEA) program.
2. Action Requested. The U.S. Department of Labor’s (Department) Employment and
Training Administration (ETA) requests that state workforce administrators share this UIPL
with appropriate staff and to please replace Attachment I of UIPL No. 08-24 with the
attached corrected Attachment I.
3. Summary and Background.
a. Summary – This UIPL No. 08-24, Change 1 provides a corrected Attachment I:
Maximum Fiscal Year (FY) 2024 Unemployment Insurance (UI) Reemployment
Services and Eligibility Assessments (RESEA) Grant Awards by State.
b. Background – UIPL No. 08-24, Fiscal Year (FY) 2024 Funding Allotments and
Operating Guidance for Unemployment Insurance (UI) Reemployment Services and
Eligibility Assessment (RESEA) Grants, was published on February 21, 2024. It included
Attachment I, listing maximum RESEA grant awards by state. This attachment in the
previously published UIPL contained errors and has been corrected.
4. Corrected FY 2024 Funding Allotments. As required by Section 306(f) of the Social
Security Act and explained in Section 4.b.1 of UIPL No. 08-24, the Department began in FY
2021 to determine each state’s maximum RESEA base award using a formula allocation
based on the state’s Insured Unemployment Rate (IUR) and the size of its civilian labor
force. The final RESEA base funding allocation formula was published in the Federal
Register on August 8, 2019 (84 Fed. Reg. 39,018) and, among other provisions, includes a
“hold-harmless” provision. The hold-harmless provision is intended to avoid sharp
reductions in states’ grant funding over time. The corrected Attachment I resolves a

calculation error for FY 2024 Funding Allotments that occurred during the application of the
hold harmless provision and provides correct funding levels for all states.

Projected state funding allocations for FY 2024 include application of the hold harmless and
minimum funding provisions described in the final funding allocation methodology announced
in the Federal Register on August 8, 2019 (84 FR 39018) and described in Section 4.b.i. of this
UIPL.
In FYs 2021 and 2022, the Department applied the Congressional notification process described
in Section 306(g) of the Social Security Act to delay implementation of the carry-over provision
to FY 2023 at a temporarily increased carry-over limit of 60 percent. Training and Employment
Notice (TEN) No. 23-22 further clarified that any reductions to state funding resulting from
exceeding the carry-over limit occur in the year following the occurrence of the carry -over,
rather than concurrently. Lastly, the Department informed Congress on December 11, 2023 of
additional permanent modifications to the Department’s implementation of the carry-over
limitation. The recent modification clarifies that a state’s carry-over will be assessed based on
the expenditure of funds awarded the FY before the preceding FY. Applying the applicable
formula changes described above, any adjustments to FY 2024 allocations due to carry-over are
to be based on initial FY 2021 RESEA state base fund awards that were carried into FY 2023 as
of September 30, 2023, that exceeded 60 percent of the state’s initial based funding award.
Attachment I
These provided projected funding allocations reflect the final formula, including all applicable
revisions identified above, and represent the maximum funding level a state may request to
support its FY 2024 RESEA activities. States are strongly encouraged to take advantage of
available funding to further build and expand RESEA program capacity (see Section 4.b. of this
UIPL for additional information). However, the state may request a lesser amount based on
capacity, projected need, and other factors.
States that did not receive an increase from the FY 2023 allocations were subject to the formula’s
minimum funding provision. The funding for these states was increased from their formula -
based allocations to the minimum funding level of $498,400.
