The purpose of this Training and Employment Guidance Letter (TEGL) is to provide states with information on the Fiscal Year (FY) 2007 and FY 2008 rescissions for the WIA Adult, Dislocated Worker, and Youth programs. Funding appropriated to states may be significantly affected and require a reevaluation of current spending patterns.

While annual rescissions are not new to our WIA programs, this year there is additional complexity because there are three separate rescissions which span several Program Years (PY). These rescissions are from funds appropriated in the FY 2008 and FY 2007 appropriation acts, and the Department of Labor is required to implement them. All but one of the rescissions are across-the-board (ATB) rescissions similar to those enacted each year for the last several years. The manner in which these rescissions will be administered was determined by applying both appropriations law and relevant portions of the reports that accompanied the appropriation acts.

The intent of this guidance is to inform State Workforce Agencies and all other necessary parties of a revised deadline for inputting information pertaining to the implementation of the Rescission of Unexpended Balances into the WRERS system.
