TRAINING AND EMPLOYMENT NOTICE NO. 14-20DATE January 14 2021 EMPLOYMENT AND TRAINING ADMINISTRATION U.S. DEPARTMENT OF LABOR WASHINGTON D.C. 20210 TO STATE WORKFORCE AGENCIES ALL STATE WORKFORCE LIAISONS FROM JOHN PALLASCH Assistant Secretary SUBJECT Planning Estimate for Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act WIOA Youth Adult and Dislocated Worker Program Allotments for Program Year PY 2021 1.Purpose. To transmit to states and outlying areas the impact of updated data on WIOA Title I Youth Adult and Dislocated Worker program allotments for PY 2021. 2.Action Requested. The Department of Labor Department is requesting that states actively review their obligations and expenditures on in-person and virtual service delivery as areas around the country are responding to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. States should consider ways to adjust spending to provide the services that are needed most by jobseekers. 3.Summary and Background. a.Summary ETA is providing states with estimated allotment levels for the WIOA Youth Adult and Dislocated Worker programs to show the impact of updated unemployment data on allotments for PY 2021 to use for planning purposes. These tables are not meant to predict your allotment. ETA based the allotment levels provided in this TEN on PY 2020 funding which is different than the PY 2021 appropriated amount and will be adjusted by reserves for evaluations and program integrity. b.Background Every year ETA calculates allotments based on statutory formulas that require ETA to adjust funding from one state relative to another based on factors that change year to year such as relative share of unemployment. These tables merely show how changes from last year in relative share of unemployment and other factors change the relative share of allotments for state planning purposes. The appropriated funding for these three programs increased for PY 2021 and ETA will publish final amounts available for state grants in its annual allotment guidance after the Department determines set asides for evaluations and program integrity. In the past evaluation and program integrity set-asides have ranged from approximately 740 000 in PY 2020 to 7.7 million in PY 2017. The funding levels in this guidance letter can provide states with a general idea of how their funding may change in PY 2021. The Consolidated Appropriations Act 2021 P.L. 116-260 was enacted on December 27 2020. Allotments will be provided to states 2 based on the full -year appropriation for FY 2021 after making decisi ons on the set aside amounts . 4. Planning Estimates . a. Methodology - To provide states with estimated PY 2021 funding levels to use for planning purposes ETA 1 used the data that ETA will use to calculate the actual PY 2021 allotments and 2 estimated funding for the programs based o n the full year funding levels for these programs in PY 2020 as indicated in TEGL 16 -19.
