This Change 1 corrects the Fiscal Year (FY) 2024 state formula allocations in Attachment I for the Reemployment Services and Eligibility Assessments (RESEA) program.

To provide guidelines for the FY 2024 UI RESEA grants and to invite State Workforce Agencies to submit a RESEA State Plan.

The purpose of this guidance is to provide grant recipients direction in developing policies, procedures, and practices that reduce unnecessary administrative barriers to serving customers seeking employment and training services.

To provide states, territories, and outlying areas with guidance for submission of four-year SCSEP Stand-Alone State Plans, including the submission process and deadline for submission. Note that, while this guidance aligns with the Workforce Innovation Opportunity Act (WIOA) guidance in many instances, this TEGL pertains only to states that are submitting a SCSEP Stand-Alone State Plan for PYs 2024-2027. States that are including SCSEP as part of a Combined State Plan for 2024-2027 should refer to Training and Employment Guidance Letter (TEGL) 04-23 that the Employment and Training Administration (ETA) issued on October 31, 2023 for instructions on submission of Combined State Plans.

To announce the availability of $9.5 million to assist SCSEP state and territory grantees with IT implementation and support costs related to the Department of Labor transition and implementation of the new Grantee Performance Management System (GPMS) case management tool. These grants will be funded through SCSEP recaptured funds.

This Change provides clarification/updates to the ETA-9130 financial reporting guidance contained in Training and Employment Guidance Letter (TEGL) No. 16-22.

This Change 1 to Training and Employment Guidance Letter (TEGL) No. 06-23 conveys additional Fiscal Year (FY) 2024 WOTC funding allotments and application requirements for State Workforce Agencies (SWAs), based on funding appropriated through a continuing resolution (CR) through February 2, 2024. The rest of TEGL No. 06-23 remains the same.

To advise and provide clarity to State Workforce Agencies or agencies designated by Governors as “Cooperating State Agencies” (CSAs or “States”) on the ongoing required activities under the TAA Program pending reauthorization.

To convey the Fiscal Year (FY) 2024 initial funding allotments for WOTC application requirements for State Workforce Agencies (SWA), based on funding appropriated through a continuing resolution through November 17, 2023.
