LAUS Technical Memorandum No. S-14-22. RESCISSIONS TEGL 29-14 EXPIRATION DATE Continuing 2 3. Background. On December 16 2014 the Consolidated and Further Continuing Appropriations Act 2015 Pub. L. 113-235 was signed into law from this point forward referred to as the Act . The Act Division G Title I Section 107 allows the Secretary of Labor to set aside up to .5 percent of most operating funds. The evaluation provision is consistent with the Federal government s priority on evidence-based policy and programming and provides important opportunities to expand evaluations and demonstrations in the Department to build solid evidence about what works best. In the past funds for ETA evaluations and demonstrations were separately appropriated and managed by ETA. Like last year that separate authority has been replaced by the set aside provision. Funds are transferred to the Department s Chief Evaluation Office to implement formal evaluations and demonstrations in collaboration with ETA. For 2015 the Secretary set aside .25 percent of the TES and SUIESO appropriations. ETA spread the amount to be set aside for each appropriation among the programs funded by that appropriation with more than 100 million in funding. This includes WI OA Adult Youth and Dislocated Worker and Wagner-Peyser Employment Service program budgets. The WIOA Youth grants are funded throu gh a single appropriation and the evaluation reductions were applied to the PY 2015 appropriated level. The 2015 Youth activities funds will become available for obligation on April 1. However the Act funds the WI OA Adult and Dislocated Worker programs in two separate appropriations. The first becomes available for obligation on July 1 this portion is commonly referred to as the base funds. The second becomes available for obligation on October 1 this portion is commonly referred to as advance funds because they are provided in the appropriations act passed during the fiscal year immediately before the fiscal year when the funds are available. For example funds for PY 2015 that will be made available on October 1 2015 were appropriated during FY 2015 but not made available until FY 2016 and are called the FY 201 6 advance. Like last year the reductions for evaluations from the WIOA Adult and Dislocated Worker programs were applied to the FY 2016 advance funding levels base funding will be disseminated at the full amount appropriated in the Act. The Act also specifies the following provisions which are applicable to utilization of the funds appropriated The Secretary may reserve not more than 10 percent of the Dislocated Worker National Reserve funds to provide technical assistance and carry out additional activities related to the transition to the WIOA. Notwithstanding section 128 a 1 of WI OA the amount available for the Governor for Statewide workforce investment activities must not exceed 10 percent of the amount allotted to the State from each of the WIOA Youth Adult and Dislocated Worker PY 2015 appropriations. Salary caps are imposed under Pub. L.113-235 Division G Title I Section 105. No funds under the header Employment and Training Administration shall be used by a recipient or sub-recipient to pay the salary and or bonus of an individual either as direct costs or indirect costs at a rate in excess of Executive Level II currently 181 500. States also may establish lower salary caps. See TEGL 5-06. 3 WIOA included the following additional change Per WIOA Section 133 b 4 a local board may now transfer up to 100 percent of funds between the Adult and Dislocated Worker funding streams if approved by their Governor. While the WI OA allotments for States are based on formula provisions contained in WIOA see Attachment A for WIOA and Wagner-Peyser formula descriptions the WIOA allotments for the outlying areas e.g. American Samoa Guam Northern Marianas Palau and the Virgin Islands are now based on a competitive grant process see WIOA sections 127 b 1 B ii 132 b 1 A ii and 132 b 2 A ii . Using the transition authorit y provided in WIOA Section 503 b ETA will delay implementation of a competitive grant process for outlying areas until PY 2016. For PY 2015 outlying area grant amounts will be based on the administrative formula determined by the Secretary that was used under WIA. The Marshall Islands and Micronesia receive funding from the Department of Education s appropriation rather t han WIOA Title 1 funding s ee WIOA section 512 g 1 updates to the Compact of Free Association Amendments of 2003 Pub. L. 108-188 December 17 2003 codified at 48 U.S.C. 1921d f 1 B iii the Compact . WIOA also updated the Compact so that the Republic of Palau remained eligible for WIOA Title I funding. See 48 U.S.C.1921d f 1 B ix . The Consolidated and Further Continuing Appropriations Act 2015 Division G Title III Section 306 of Pub. L. 113-235 authorized WI OA Title I funding to Palau through FY 2015. In addition to this TEGL allotments and descriptions of the allotment formulas will be published in the Federal Register. 4. State WIOA Youth Activities Funds Title I--Chapter 2--Youth Activities . A. State Allotments. The appropriated level for PY 2015 for WIOA Youth Activities totals 831 842 000. After reducing the appropriation by 2 295 000 for evaluations 829 547 000 is available for Youth Activities which includes 12 443 205 for Native Americans 815 061 036 for States and 2 042 759 for outlying areas. Note that under WIOA the basis for calculating the of 1 percent reserved for outlying areas is based on the total available for Youth Activities after the Native American reservation. The Native American reservation is calculated on the total available for Youth Activities. Attachment B contains a breakdown of the WIOA Youth Activities program allotments by State for PY 2015 and provides a comparison of these allotments to PY 2014. Please note that the Department of Labor the Department will provide the Native American Youth allotments in a separate TEGL. The three data factors required by WIOA for the PY 2015 Youth Activities State formula allotments are 1. The average number of unemployed individuals for Areas o f Substantial Unemployment ASUs for the 12-month period July 2013 through June 2014 as prepared by the States under the direction of the Bureau of Labor Statistics BLS 4 2. The number of excess unemployed individuals or the ASU excess depending on which is higher averages for the same 12-month period as used for ASU unemployed data and 3. The number of economically disadvantaged Youth age 16 to 21 excluding college students in the workforce and military from special tabulations of data from the American Community Survey ACS . The data used in the special tabulations for economically disadvantaged Youth were collected between January 1 2006 and December 31 2010. Since the total amount available for States in PY 2015 is below the required 1 billion threshold specified in WIOA section 127 b 1 C iv IV wh ich was also the case in PY 2014 the Department did not apply the WI OA additional minimum provisions see Attachment A . Instead as required by WIOA the Job Training Partnership Act JTPA Pub. L. 97-300 section 262 a 3 as amended by section 207 of the Job Training Reform Amendments of 1992 Pub. L. 102-367 minimums of 90 percent hold-harmless of the prior year allotment percentage and 0.25 percent State minimum floor apply. WIOA also provides that no State may receive an allotment that is more than 130 percent of the allotment percentage for the State for the previous year. B. PY 2015 Funding WIOA Agreement Notice of Obligations NOOs . Upon execution of the PY 2015 WI OA Annual Funding Agreement NOO Youth program funds will be available for States to use. C. Within-State Allocations. States must distribute WIOA Youth Activities funds among local workforce investment areas subject to reservation of the 10 percent limitation for statewide workforce investment activities as discussed in the Background Section of this TEGL in accordance with the provisions of WIOA section 128 and the approved WIA Wagner-Peyser Act State Plan. For purposes of identifying ASUs for the within- State Youth Activities allocation formula states should use data made available by BLS as described in LAUS Technical Memorandum No. S-14-22 . For purposes of determining the number of economically disadvantaged Youth for the statutory formula States should use the special tabulations of ACS data available at http www.doleta.gov budget disadvantagedYouthAdults.cfm for the within-State Youth program allocations. See TEGL 21-12 for further information. D. Transfers of Funds. Local workforce investment areas do not have the authority to transfer funds to or from the Youth Activities program. E. Reallotment of Funds. The Secretary of Labor reallots Youth Activities program formula funds as provided for by WIOA Section 127 c based on completed PY financial reports that the States submitted. The Department will r eallot funds among States under WIOA during PY 2015 based on State obligations made during PY 2014 ETA will continue to reallot in accordance with 20 CFR 667.150 pending publication of the WIOA regulations . 5. State Adult Employment and Training Activities Funds Title I--Chapter 3--Adult and Dislocated Worker Employment and Training Activities. 5 A. State Allotments. The total appropriated funds for Adult Activities in PY 2015 is 776 736 000. After reducing the appropriated amount by 2 143 000 for evaluations 774 593 000 remains for Adult Activities of which 772 656 517 is for states and 1 936 483 is for outlying areas. Attachment C shows the PY 2015 Adult Employment and Training Activities allotments and a State by State comparison of the PY 2015 allotments to PY 2014 allotments. The three formula data factors for the Adult Activities program are the same as those used for the Youth Activities formula except the Department used data for the number of economically disadvantaged Adults age 18 to 72 excluding college students in the workforce and military . Since the total amount available for the Adult Activities program for States in PY 2015 is below the required 960 million threshold specified in WIOA section 132 b 1 B iv IV as was also the case in PY 2014 the WIOA additional minimum provisions See Attachment A are not applicable. Instead as required by WIOA the JTPA section 202 b 2 as amended by section 202 of the Job Training Reform Amendments of 1992 minimums of 90 percent hold-harmless of the prior year allotment percentage and 0.25 percent State minimum floor apply. Also like for the Youth program WIOA also provides that no State may receive an allotment that is more than 130 percent of the allotment percentage for the State for the previous year. B. PY 2015 Funding WIOA Agreement Notices of Obligation NOOs . For PY 2015 Congress appropriated funds for this program in two portions 64 736 000 is available for obligation on July 1 2015 PY 2015 and 712 000 000 available for obligation on October 1 2015 FY 2016 . The Department elected to use the funding available on October 1 2015 for the evaluations set aside reducing the amount available for Adult Activities on October 1 2015 to 709 857 000. The Department prorated allotments to States and outlying areas based on these total amounts and will issue two NOOs one for July 1 2015 under the PY 2015 WI OA grant agreement and the other for October 1 2015 also under the PY 2015 WI OA grant agreement see Attachment D . C. Within-State Allocations. States must distribute WIOA Adult Activities funds for PY 2015 allotments among local workforce investment areas subject to reservation of the 10 percent limitation for statewide workforce investment activities in accordance with the provisions in WIOA section 133 and the approved WIA Wagner-Peyser Act State Plan. The 10 percent which may be retained for statewide activities must be calculated on the total final allotment for PY 2015. Similar to the Youth Activities program for purposes of identifying ASUs for the within- state Adult Activities allocation formula States should use the data made available by BLS as described in LAUS Technical Memorandum No. S-14-22 . For purposes of developing the number of economically disadvantaged Adults for the statutory formula States should use the special tabulations of ACS data available at http www.doleta.gov budget disadvantagedYouthAdults.cfm for the within-state Adult allocations. See TEGL 21-12 for further information. D. Transfers of Funds. WIOA section 133 b 4 provides the authority for local workforce investment areas with approval of the Governor to transfer up to 100 percent of the Adult Activities funds to Dislocated Worker Activities and up to 100 percent of Dislocated Worker Activities funds to Adult Activities . 6 E. Reallotment of Funds. Reallotment of Adult Activities program formula funds as provided for by WIOA section 132 c is based on completed financial reports submitted by the States. The Department will reallot funds among States under WIOA during PY 2015 based on State obligations of PY 2014 funds made during PY 2014 ETA will continue to reallot in accordance with 20 CFR 667.150 pending publication of the WIOA regulations . 6. State Dislocated Worker Employment and Training Funds Title I--Chapter 3- Adult and Dislocated Worker Employment and Training Activities. The amount appropriated for Dislocated Worker activities in PY 2015 totals 1 236 389 000. The total appropriation includes formula funds for the States while the National Reserve is used for National Dislocated Worker Grants technical assistance and training demonstration projects and the outlying areas Dislocated Worker allotments. After reducing the appropriated amount by 3 411 000 for evaluations a total of 1 232 978 000 remains available for Dislocated Worker activities. The amount available for outlying areas is 3 082 445 leaving 217 167 555 for the National Reserve and a total of 1 012 728 000 available for States. A. State Allotments. Attachment E shows the PY 2015 Dislocated Worker activities allotments and a State by State comparison of the PY 2015 allotments to PY 201 4 allotments. The three data factors required in WIOA for the PY 2015 Dislocated Worker State formula allotments are 1. The number of unemployed averaged for the 12-month period October 2013 through September 2014 2. The number of excess unemployed averaged for the 12-month period October 2013 through September 2014 and 3. The number of long-term unemployed averaged for the 12-month period October 2013 through September 2014. B. PY 2015 Funding WIOA Agreement NOOs. For PY 2015 Congress appropriated funds for this program in two portions for both formula funds and National Reserve funds. For State formula funds 155 530 000 is available for obligation on July 1 2015 PY 2015 and 860 000 000 is available for obligation on October 1 2015 FY 2016 . For the National Reserve which includes funds for the outlying areas 20 859 000 is available for obligation on July 1 2015 PY 2015 and 200 000 000 is available for obligation on October 1 2015 FY 2016 .

Allotments to States and outlying areas are prorated based on the two amounts for formula funds and National Reserve respectively. Allotments will be issued in two NOOs one for July 1 2015 under the PY 2015 WI OA grant agreement and the 7 other for October 1 2015 also under the PY 2015 WI OA grant agreement see Attachment F . C. Within-State Allocations. Dislocated Worker Activities funds for PY 2015 allotments are to be distributed among local workforce investment areas subject to the G overnor s reservation of up to 25 percent for statewide rapid response activities under WIOA 133 and the 10 percent limitation for statewide workforce investment activities as discussed in the Background Section of this TEGL in accordance with the provisions in WIOA section 133 and the approved WIA Wagner-Peyser Act State Plan.

Wagner-Peyser ES Final Allotments. The appropriated level for PY 2015 for g rants for the ES program was 664 184 000. After reducing the appropriation by 1 784 000 for evaluations 662 400 000 is available for the ES programs. After determining the funding for outlying areas ETA calculates allotments to States using the formula set forth at section 6 of the Wagner-Peyser Act 29 U.S.C. 49e . ETA based PY 2015 formula allotments on each State s share of calendar year 2014 monthly averages of the Civilian Labor Force CLF and unemployment. The distribution of Wagner-Peyser Act funds for PY 2015 includes 660 785 299 for States as well as 1 614 701 for outlying areas.

The allotment figures are listed in Attachment H. Policy guidance on the use of workforce information grants will be forthcoming. 8 9. Submission. In order to achieve greater efficiency and as part of ETA s ongoing effort to streamline the mandatory grant award process all States are required to submit an electronically signed copy of an SF- 424 Application for Federal Assistance through Grants.gov for each WIOA funding stream under Funding Opportunity Numbers ETA-TEGL- PY-YOUTH-2015 CFDA 17.259 ETA-TEGL- PY-FY-ADULT-2015 CFDA 17.258 ETA-TEGL- PY-FY-DW-2015 CFDA 17.278 An electronically submitted SF-424 through Grants.gov constitutes an official signed document and must reflect the amount for each WIOA funding stream Youth Adult and Dislocated Worker . The closing date for receipt of each SF-424 is May 12th 2015. The WIOA Youth funds will be awarded in May 2015. The PY 2015 base allotment of WIOA Adult and Dislocated Worker funds will be awarded during the period of availability beginning July 2015. The FY 2016 advance allotment will be awarded in the period of availability starting October 2015. A copy of the executed PY 2015 WIO A Agreement will be available upon award of funds. All States must submit an electronically signed SF- 424 Application for Federal Assistance through Grants.gov for each ES funding program under Funding Opportunity Numbers ETA-TEGL- ES-2015 CFDA 17.207 ETA-TEGL-WIG-2015 CFDA 17.207 An electronically submitted SF-424 through Grants.gov constitutes an official signed document and must reflect the amount for each ES program Wagner-Peyser ES Program and Workforce Information Grants . The closing date for receipt of each SF-424 is May 30 2015. The Wagner-Peyser Employment Service Program and Workforce Information funds will be awarded in July 2015. A copy of the executed PY 2015 ES Agreement will be available upon award of funds. Each SF-424 must reflect the exact amount of the designated State allotment in item 18 Estimated Funding. Item 11 must include the Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance Number for the applicable Funding Opportunity. To submit the required SF-424s States must follow the Apply for Grants link on Grants.gov and download the grant application package links. States should not follow the Find Grants link as these are mandatory grants not competitive funding opportunities. This process can be complicated and time-consuming. As such the Department strongly encourages States to initiate the process as soon as possible and to allow for time to resolve technical problems if necessary. The Department strongly recommends that States immediately initiate and complete the Get Registered registration steps at http www.grants.gov web grants register.html . States should read through the registration process carefully before registering. These steps may take as much as four weeks to complete and this time should be factored into plans for electronic submission in order to avoid unexpected delays that could result in the rejection of an application. The site also contains registration checklists to help you walk through the process. The Department 9 strongly recommends that States download the Organization Registration Checklist at http www.grants.gov web grants applicants organization-registration.html and prepare the information requested before beginning the registration process. Reviewing and assembling required information before beginning the registration process will alleviate last minute searches for required information and save time. All applicants for Federal grant and funding opportunities are required to have a Data Universal Numbering System D-U-N-S number and must supply their D-U-N-S number on the SF-424. Before submitting States must register with the System for Award Management SAM which has replaced the Central Contractor Registry CCR . Instructions for registering with SAM can be found at https www.sam.g ov An awardee must maintain an active SAM registration with current information at all times during which it has an active Federal award or an application under consideration. To remain registered in the SAM database after the initial registration there is a requirement to review and update the registration at least every 12 months from the date of initial registration or subsequently update the information in the SAM database to ensure it is current accurate and complete. Failure to register with SAM and maintain an active account will result in Grants.gov rejecting your submission. The next step in the registration process is creating a username and password with Grants.gov to become an Authorized Organizational Representative AOR . AORs will nee d to know the D-U-N-S number of the organization for which they will be submitting applications to complete this process. To read more detailed instructions for creating a profile on Grants.gov visit http www.grants.gov web grants applicants organization- registration step-3-username-password.html After creating a profile on Grants.gov the E-Biz point of Contact E-Biz POC - a representative from your organization who is the contact listed for SAM will receive an email to grant the AOR permission to submit applications on behalf of their organization. The E-Biz POC will then log in to Grants.gov and approve an applicant as the AOR thereby giving him or her permission to submit applications. To learn more about AOR Authorization visit http www.grants.gov web grants applicants organization- registration step-4-aor-authorization.html To track AOR status visit http www.grants.gov web grants applicants organization-registration step-5-track-aor- status.html Submitting through Grants.gov constitutes an electronically signed SF-424 Application for Federal Assistance. The registration and account creation with Grants.gov with E-Biz POC approval establishes an AOR. When you submit the SF-424 through Grants.gov the name of your AOR on file will be inserted into the signature line. States must register the individual who is able to make legally binding commitments as the AOR. If States encounter a problem with Grants.gov and do not find an answer in any of the other resources call 1-800-518-4726 or 606-545-5035 to speak to a Customer Support Representative or email support grants.gov . The Contact Center is open 24 hours a day seven days a week. It is closed on federal holidays. States should e-mail all submission questions to Ms. Sharon Carter Grants Management Specialist at Carter.Sharon dol.gov and must reference the specific Funding Opportunity Number and along with question s include a contact name email address and phone 10 number. 11. Reporting. For the WIOA formula programs States are required to submit the seven designated WIA quarterly financial status reports covering funds received for each of the programs including separate reports for each of the fund year periods for the Adult and Dislocated Worker Activities programs -- July 1 funds and October 1 funds until revised WIOA quarter financial status reports become available. These seven WIA reports provide financial data for Statewide Youth Statewide Adult S tatewide Dislocated Worker Statewide Rapid Response Dislocated Worker Activities local Youth local Adult and local Dislocated Worker activities. The Department also requires States to submit the designated financial reports each quarter for the Wagner-Peyser Act funds and the Workforce Information Grant funds. 12. Inquiries. Questions regarding these allotments may be directed to the appropriate Regional Office. Information on allotments and planning requirements may also be found on the ETA Web site at http www.doleta.gov. 13. Attachments. A. WIOA and Wagner-Peyser Statutory Formula Descriptions B.
