It also denotes which fund sources may be used to provide these benefits and services. One-Stop operators have the option to determine 4-3 what funding source they will use to conduct such activities. Note All benefits and services activities funded by UI TAA TRA and W-P Act must be merit staffed to the extent required by 5 CFR 900.603 and 20 CFR 652.215. 1 Some of these fund sources may not be available in your State or local area. Conversely other funding sources not specified here may be available so an other column is provided to allow for the listing of any other sources that may be available in your particular State or local area. 2 UI administration is also known as base and contingency funds provided to the States from the State Unemployment Insurance and Employment Security Operations SUIESO account. 3 Case Management - under the TAA program case management has usually meant follow-up. Best practices have shown that active case management such as the client-centered approach defined in the WIA provides improved outcomes for program participants.
