EMPLOYMENT AND TRAINING ADMINISTRATION ADVISORY SYSTEM U.S. DEPARTMENT OF LABOR Washington D.C. 20210 CLASSIFICATION WIOA Wagner-Peyser CORRESPONDENCE SYMBOL OWI DATE April 23 2020 RESCISSIONS None EXPIRATION DATE Continuing ADVISORY TRAINING AND EMPLOYMENT GUIDANCE LETTER NO. 16-19TO STATE WORKFORCE AGENCIES ALL STATE WORKFORCE LIAISONS FROM JOHN PALLASCH Assistant Secretary SUBJECT Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act WIOA Adult Dislocated Worker and Youth Activities Program Allotments for Program Year PY 2020 PY 2020 Allotments for the Wagner-Peyser Act Employment Service ES Program and the Allotments of Workforce Information Grants to States for PY 2020 1.Purpose. To provide information to states and outlying areas on WIOA Title I Adult Dislocated Worker and Youth Activities program allotments for PY 2020 PY 2020 allotments for the Wagner-Peyser Act ES Program as required by section 6 b 5 of the Wagner-Peyser Act as amended and the allotments of Workforce Information Grants to states for PY 2020. 2.Action Requested. States must follow the requirements in this guidance to obtain the federal funds needed to manage their programs. 3.Summary and Background. a.Summary - This document provides grantees with guidance and information including How to obtain the federal funds covered by the TEGL and financial reporting requirements The potential for reallotment of PY 2020 funds based on unobligated balances of PY 2019 funds in excess of 20 percent of their allotment at the end of PY 2019 6 30 2020 Requirements when calculating sub-state allocations to local areas Funds set aside for evaluations Salary caps at the Executive Level II and Waivers of the competition requirement for outlying areas. b.Background - On December 20 2019 the Further Consolidated Appropriations Act 2020 Pub. L. 116-94 was signed into law from this point forward referred to as the Act . The Act makes PY 2020 Youth Activities funds available for obligation on April 1 2020 and funds the WIOA Adult and Dislocated Worker programs in two separate 2 appropriations. The first appropriations for the Adult and Dislocated Worker programs become available for obligation on July 1 2020 this portion is commonly referred to as base funds. The second appropriations for the Adult and Dislocated Worker programs become available for obligation on October 1 2020 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 2020 that will be made available on October 1 2020 were appropriated during FY 2020 but not made available until FY 2021 and are called the FY 2021 advance funds. See Attachment A for details. The Act Division A Title I secs. 106 b and 107 allows the Secretary of Labor Secretary to set aside up to 0.5 percent of each discretionary appropriation for activities related to program integrity and 0.75 percent of most operating funds for evaluations. For 2020 as authorized by the Act the Department has set aside 818 000 of the Training and Employment Services TES appropriations for evaluations. ETA reserved these funds from the WIOA Adult Youth and Dislocated Worker program budgets. Any funds not utilized for these reserve activities will be provided to the states. ETA applied the reductions for evaluations from the WIOA Adult and Dislocated Worker programs only to the FY 2021 advance funding levels base funding is disseminated at the full amount appropriated in the Act. The Act also specifies that the Secretary may reserve no 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 WIOA. Additionally salary caps are imposed under the Act Division A Title I sec. 105. The funds provided to grantees in these allotments must not be used by a recipient or sub-recipient to pay the salary and bonuses of an individual either as direct costs or indirect costs at a rate in excess of Executive Level II. The rates of basic pay for the Executive Schedule are found at https www.opm.gov policy-data-oversight pay-leave salaries-wages . States also may establish lower salary caps. See TEGL No. 5-06. WIOA allotments for states are based on formula provisions contained in WIOA see Attachment B for WIOA and Wagner-Peyser Act formula descriptions . The Act waives the competition requirement regarding funding to outlying areas i.e. American Samoa Guam Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands the Republic of Palau and the United States Virgin Islands . For PY 2020 outlying area grant amounts are based on the administrative formula determined by the Secretary that was used under WIA. WIOA specifically included the Republic of Palau as an outlying area except during any period for which the Secretary of Labor and the Secretary of Education determine that a Compact of Free Association is in effect and contains provisions for training and education assistance prohibiting the assistance provided under WIOA. No such determinations prohibiting assistance have been made WIOA sec. 3 45 B . WIOA updated the Compact of Free Association Amendments of 2003 Pub. L. 108-188 December 17 2003 so that the Republic of Palau remained eligible for WIOA Title I 3 funding. See 48 U.S.C. 1921d f 1 B ix . The National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2018 Pub. L. 115-91 December 12 2017 Division A Title XII Subtitle F sec. 1259C c authorized WIOA Title I funding to Palau through FY 2024. In addition to this TEGL ETA will publish the allotments and descriptions of the allotment formulas in the Federal Register. In this Federal Register notice ETA will invite comments on the allotment formula for outlying areas. 4. WIOA PY 2020 Allotments.

A. State Allotments. The appropriated level for PY 2020 for WIOA Youth Activities totals 913 130 000. After reducing the appropriation by 224 000 for evaluations 912 906 000 is available for Youth Activities which includes 13 693 590 for Native American grantees 896 964 379 for states and 2 248 031 for outlying areas. Note that under WIOA the basis for calculating the 1 4 of one 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 D contains a breakdown of the WIOA Youth Activities program allotments by state for PY 2020 and provides a comparison of these allotments to PY 2019. Please note that the Department will provide information on the Native American Youth allotments in a separate Training and Employment Guidance Letter TEGL . Formula funds are allotted for PY 2020 Youth Activities among the states in accordance with WIOA formula requirements. For reference the Department allots these funds to the states based on the following data factors summarized slightly 1. The average number of unemployed individuals for Areas of Substantial Unemployment ASUs for the 12-month period July 2018 through June 2019 as prepared by the states under the direction of the Bureau of Labor Statistics BLS in each state compared to the total number of unemployed individuals in ASUs in all states 2. The number of excess unemployed individuals or excess unemployed individuals in ASUs depending on which is higher averages for the same 12-month period July 2018 through June 2019 compared to the total excess individuals or ASU excess in all states and 3. The number of disadvantaged youth age 16 to 21 excluding college students not in the workforce and military from special tabulations of data from the American Community Survey ACS in each state compared to the total number of disadvantaged youth in all states. The Census Bureau collected the data used in the special tabulations for disadvantaged youth between January 1 2011 and December 31 2015. Since the total amount available for states in PY 2020 is below the required 1 billion threshold specified in WIOA sec. 127 b 1 C iv IV which was also the case in PY 2019 the Department did not apply the WIOA additional minimum provisions see Attachment B . Instead the minimums of 90 percent of the prior year allotment percentage and 0.25 percent state minimum floor apply as required by WIOA. WIOA also maintains that no state may receive an allotment that is more than 130 percent of the allotment percentage for the state for the previous year. Appendix I -2- B. PY 2020 Funding WIOA Agreement Notice of Award NOAs . Youth program funds are available to states to use once the PY 2020 WIOA Annual Funding Agreement NOA is complete. C. Sub-State Allocations. States must distribute WIOA Youth Activities funds among local workforce areas subject to reservation of the 15 percent limitation for statewide workforce employment and training activities in keeping with the provisions of WIOA sec. 128 and their approved Unified or Combined WIOA State Plan. In allocating Youth Activities funds to local areas for PY 2020 states may use either the allocation formula described in WIOA sec.128 b 2 or the discretionary allocation formula in WIOA sec. 128 b 3 and ensure the state policy articulated in the approved State Plan remains consistent with this guidance. Consistent with sec. 182 e of WIOA sub-state allocations must be made available to local areas not later than 30 days after the date funds are made available to the state or 7 days after the date the local plan for the area is approved whichever is later. See Attachment C for a description of sub-state allocation formulas. 1. Allocation Formula. Thirty-three and 1 3 percent of the total funds available for local allocations are allocated based on each local area s relative share of each data factor listed below. a. The relative number of unemployed individuals in Areas of Substantial Unemployment ASUs in each local area compared to the total number of unemployed individuals in ASUs in all local areas in the state. For this factor the timeframe for comparison is the 12-month period July 2018 to June 2019. b. The relative excess number of unemployed individuals in each local area compared to the total excess number of unemployed individuals in all local areas in the state. See the definition of excess number below which requires a comparison of the excess unemployed in ASUs with excess unemployed in all areas. For this factor the timeframe for comparison is the 12-month period July 2018 to June 2019. c. The relative number of disadvantaged youth age 16 to 21 excluding college students not in the workforce and military in each local area compared to the total number of disadvantaged youth in all local areas in the state. The number of disadvantaged youth comes from special tabulations of data from the ACS prepared in accordance with the definition provided in WIOA. The Census Bureau collected this data between January 1 2011 and December 31 2015. For purposes of identifying ASUs for the Youth Activities sub-state allocation formula states must use data made available by BLS as described in Local Area Unemployment Statistics LAUS Technical Memorandum No. S-19-15 . The term excess number means used with respect to the excess number of unemployed individuals within a local area the higher of i the number that Appendix I -3- represents the number of unemployed individuals in excess of 4.5 percent of the civilian labor force in the local area or ii the number that represents the number of unemployed individuals in excess of 4.5 percent of the civilian labor force in ASUs in such local area. In order to determine the number of disadvantaged youth for the sub-state Youth formula states must use the special tabulations of ACS data available at https www.dol.gov agencies eta budget formula disadvantagedyouthadults. ETA obtained updated data for use in PY 2018 and the same data must be used in PY 2020. See TEGL No. 14-17 for further information. States must utilize a minimum percentage or stop loss to ensure that no local area receives an allocation percentage that is less than 90 percent of the average allocation percentage received by the local area for the previous two years. An allocation percentage is the local area s share or percentage of funds allocated to all local areas. States must not use 90 percent of the average amount allocated to the local area for the last two years. States must obtain amounts necessary to increase allocations to local areas to comply with the minimum percentage requirement by proportionately reducing the allocations to be made to other local areas. States must not use a maximum percentage or stop gain . 2. Discretionary Formula. Alternatively a state may use a discretionary formula. When using a discretionary formula a state distributes a portion that is at least 70 percent of the funds according to the allocation formula described in subparagraph 1.C.1 of this Appendix and the remainder on the basis of a formula that incorporates additional factors relating to a. excess youth poverty in urban rural and suburban areas and b. excess unemployment above the state average in urban rural and suburban local areas. Of the portion of funds distributed according to the allocation formula described in subparagraph 1 a state must not assign unequal percentages to the ASU excess unemployment and disadvantaged data factors. These three data factors carry equal weights and must not total less than 70 percent of the formula. Of the remainder states may determine the percentage to allocate to data factors reflecting excess youth poverty and excess unemployment above the state average. States also have flexibility in choosing what data they want to use related to youth poverty and excess unemployment above the state average. States may not reuse the allocation formula data factors ASU excess unemployment and disadvantaged youth to distribute the remainder. Using data factors such as high school dropout rate may be an acceptable reflection of youth poverty but the state must articulate Appendix I -4- how such factors relate to youth poverty in the State Plan. For the portion of funds distributed according to the allocation formula which represent at least 70 percent of the distributed funds the state must employ the minimum percentage or stop loss as described in subparagraph 1 on the allocation formula. The state may choose whether to apply the minimum percentage to the remainder portion of funds that the state distributes according to the discretionary formula which represent not more than 30 percent of the distributed funds . The State Board must develop the discretionary formula and the Secretary must approve it as part of the State Plan. D. Transfer of Funds. Local workforce areas do not have the authority to transfer funds to or from the Youth Activities program. E. Re-allotment of Funds. WIOA sec. 127 c requires the Secretary of Labor to recapture and reallot Youth Activities program formula funds based on state obligation levels at the end of the first program year of use ETA reallots in accordance with 20 CFR 683.135 . PY 2019 funds are only available for Federal obligation until the end of the program year and so the Secretary does not have authority to reobligate PY 2019 funds after the first program year. Therefore any reallotment of funds requires the use of PY 2020 funds. In other words recapture and reallotment of PY 2020 funds is based on obligation levels of PY 2019 funds at the end of PY 2019. 1. The obligation threshold a state must meet to avoid recapture under WIOA sec. 127 c 2 is 80 percent. The term obligation is defined at 2 CFR 200.71. The funds that a state allocates to a local area are state obligations. WIOA requires states to allocate at least 85 percent of Youth Activities funds to local areas. Therefore by making the required local allocations the state has obligated more than 80 percent of its PY 2019 funds and no further action is required regarding reallotment of PY 2020 funds. 2. States report the aggregate amount of allocations to the local areas on the Local Youth ETA 9130 B financial reports along with obligations by local areas of those funds. F. Small State Minimum Allotment States. WIOA sec. 129 a 4 B allows a state that receives a small state minimum allotment under WIOA sec. 127 b 1 relating to the youth formula program or 132 b 1 relating to the adult formula program to submit a request for approval to the Department to decrease the percentage of funds spent on out- of-school youth OSY to not less than 50 percent in a local area. To determine if a state receives a small state minimum allotment review the PY 2020 columns in Attachments D and E. States that meet the criteria for PY 2020 as a minimum allotment state are those states that receive a PY 2020 WIOA Youth allotment of 2 242 411 or receive a PY 2020 WIOA Adult allotment of 2 130 845. If a state wishes to submit a small state OSY exception request they must submit the request for PY 2020 by September 30 2020. Appendix I -5- The request must be submitted to the appropriate ETA Regional Administrator and contain the required justification outlined in the WIOA final rule at 20 CFR 681.410 b . Appendix II -1- Appendix II WIOA Adult Allotment Activities State Adult Employment and Training Activities Funds Title I--Chapter 3--Adult and Dislocated Worker Employment and Training Activities. A. State Allotments. The total appropriated funds for Adult Activities in PY 2020 is 854 649 000. After reducing the appropriated amount by 175 000 for evaluations 854 474 000 remains for Adult Activities of which 852 337 815 is for states and 2 136 185 is for outlying areas. Attachment E shows the PY 2020 Adult Employment and Training Activities allotments and a state-by-state comparison of the PY 2020 allotments to PY 2019 allotments. The three formula data factors that the Department uses to distribute WIOA Adult Activities funds among the states are the same as those used for the Youth Activities formula except that data is used for the number of disadvantaged adults age 22 to 72 excluding college students not in the workforce and military rather than the number of disadvantaged youth. Since the total amount available for the Adult Activities program for states in PY 2020 is below the required 960 million threshold specified in WIOA sec. 132 b 1 B iv IV as was also the case in PY 2019 the WIOA additional minimum provisions See Attachment B are not applicable. Instead as required by WIOA the minimums of 90 percent of the prior year allotment percentage and 0.25 percent state minimum floor apply. Like for the Youth program WIOA also provides that no state may receive an allotment that is more than 130 percent of the previous year allotment percentage for the state. B. PY 2020 Funding WIOA Agreement NOAs. For PY 2020 Congress appropriated funds for this program in two portions 142 649 000 is available for obligation on July 1 2020 PY 2020 and 712 000 000 is available for obligation on October 1 2020 FY 2021 . After reductions associated with evaluations the amount available for Adult Activities on July 1 2020 PY 2020 is 142 649 000 and on October 1 2020 is 711 825 000. The Department prorated allotments to states and outlying areas based on these total amounts and will issue two NOAs subject to the state submitting an approved State Plan under secs. 102 or 103 of WIOA . The first NOA covers the period starting July 1 2020 under the PY 2020 WIOA grant agreement and the other for October 1 2020 also under the PY 2020 WIOA grant agreement see Attachment F . C. Sub-State Allocations. States must distribute WIOA Adult Activities funds for PY 2020 allotments among local workforce areas subject to reservation of the 15 percent limitation for statewide employment and training activities in accordance with the provisions in WIOA section 133 and the approved State Plan. States must calculate the up to 15 percent available for statewide activities on the total allotment for PY 2020. In allocating WIOA Adult funds to local areas for PY 2020 states may use either the allocation formula described in WIOA sec. 133 b 2 A or the discretionary allocation formula in WIOA sec. 133 b 3 . Also states must ensure the state policy articulated in the approved State Plan remains consistent with this guidance. See Attachment C for a description of sub-state allocation formulas. Appendix II -2- 1. Allocation Formula. Thirty-three and 1 3 percent of the total funds available for local allocations are allocated based on each local area s relative share of each data factor listed below. 1. The relative number of unemployed individuals in ASUs in each local area compared to the total number of unemployed individuals in ASUs in all local areas in the state. For this factor the timeframe for comparison is the 12- month period July 2018 to June 2019. 2. The relative excess number of unemployed individuals in each local area compared to the total excess number of unemployed individuals in all local areas in the state. See the definition of excess number below which requires a comparison of the excess unemployed in ASUs with excess unemployed in all areas. For this factor the timeframe for comparison is the 12-month period July 2018 to June 2019. 3. The relative number of disadvantaged adults age 22 to 72 excluding college students not in the workforce and military in each local area compared to the total number of disadvantaged adults in all local areas in the state. The Census Bureau collected the data used in the special tabulations for disadvantaged adults between January 1 2011 and December 31 2015. For purposes of identifying ASUs for the Adult Activities sub-state allocation formula states should use data made available by BLS as described in LAUS Technical Memorandum No. S-19-15 . The term excess number means used with respect to the excess number of unemployed individuals within a local area the higher of i the number that represents the number of unemployed individuals in excess of 4.5 percent of the civilian labor force in the local area or ii the number that represents the number of unemployed individuals in excess of 4.5 percent of the civilian labor force in ASUs in such local area. In order to determine the number of disadvantaged adults for the sub-state Adult formula states must use the special tabulations of ACS data available at https www.dol.gov agencies eta budget formula disadvantagedyouthadults. ETA obtained updated data for use in PY 2018 and the same data must be used in PY 2020. See TEGL No. 14-17 for further information. States must utilize a minimum percentage or stop loss to ensure that no local area receives an allocation percentage that is less than 90 percent of the average allocation percentage of the local area for the previous two years. An allocation percentage is the local area s share or percentage of funds allocated to all local areas. States must not use 90 percent of the average amount allocated to the local area for the last two years. States must obtain amounts necessary to increase allocations to local areas to Appendix II -3- comply with the minimum percentage requirement by proportionately reducing the allocations to be made to other local areas. States must not use a maximum percentage or stop gain . In accordance with sec. 182 e of WIOA states must make sub-state allocations available to local areas not later than 30 days after the date funds are made available to the state or 7 days after the date the local plan for the area is approved whichever is later. 2. Discretionary Formula. Alternatively a state may use a discretionary formula. When using a discretionary formula a state distributes a portion that is at least 70 percent of the funds according to the allocation formula described in subparagraph 1.C.1 of this Appendix and the remainder on the basis of a formula that incorporates additional factors related to 1. excess poverty in urban rural and suburban areas and 2. excess unemployment above the state average in urban rural and suburban local areas. Of the portion of funds distributed according to the allocation formula described in subparagraph 1 a state must not assign unequal percentages to the ASU excess unemployment and disadvantaged data factors. These three data factors carry equal weights and must total at least 70 percent of the formula. Of the remainder states may determine the percentage to allocate to data factors reflecting excess poverty and excess unemployment above the state average. States also have flexibility in choosing the data they want to use related to poverty and excess unemployment above the state average. States may not reuse the allocation formula data factors ASU excess unemployment and disadvantaged adults to distribute the remainder. Using data factors not directly describing poverty or excess unemployment may be acceptable but the state must articulate how such factors relate to the statutory requirements in the State Plan. The discretionary formula must also employ a minimum percentage as described in subparagraph 1 on the allocation formula. The minimum percentage may be applied to the 70 percent or greater portion or to the entire allocation. The State Board must develop the discretionary formula and the Secretary must approve it as part of the State Plan. D. Transfers of Funds. WIOA sec. 133 b 4 provides the authority for local workforce areas with approval of the Governor to transfer up to 100 percent of the Adult Activities funds for expenditure on Dislocated Worker Activities and up to 100 percent of Appendix II -4- Dislocated Worker Activities funds for expenditure on Adult Activities. E. Re-allotment of Funds. WIOA sec. 132 c requires the Secretary of Labor to recapture and reallot Adult Activities program formula funds based on state obligation levels at the end of the first program year of use ETA reallots in accordance with 20 CFR 683.135 . PY 2019 funds are only available for Federal obligation until the end of the program year and so the Secretary does not have authority to re-obligate PY 2019 funds after the first program year. Therefore any re-allotment of funds requires the use of PY 2020 funds. In other words re-allotment of PY 2020 funds is based on obligation levels of PY 2019 funds at the end of PY 2019. 1. The obligation threshold a State must meet to avoid recapture under WIOA sec. 132 c 2 is 80 percent. The term obligation is defined at 2 CFR 200.71. The funds that a state allocates to a local area are state obligations. WIOA requires states to allocate at least 85 percent of Adult Activities funds to local areas. Therefore by making the required local allocations the state has obligated more than 80 percent of its PY 2019 funds and no further action is required regarding re-allotment of PY 2020 funds. 2. States report aggregate allocations to the local areas on the Local Adult ETA 9130 D financial reports along with obligations by local areas of those funds. Appendix III -1- Appendix III WIOA Dislocated Worker Allotment Activities 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 2020 totals 1 322 912 000. 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 Workforce Opportunity for Rural Communities Community College Grants and the outlying areas Dislocated Worker allotments. After reducing the appropriated amount by 419 000 for evaluations a total of 1 322 493 000 remains available for Dislocated Worker Activities. The amount available for outlying areas is 3 306 233 leaving 267 473 767 for the National Reserve and a total of 1 051 713 000 available for states. A. State Allotments. Attachment G shows the PY 2020 Dislocated Worker Activities allotments and a state-by-state comparison of the PY 2020 allotments to PY 2019 allotments. WIOA prescribes different data factors for the federal allotment of Dislocated Worker funds by the Department to the states and for the sub-state allocation of Dislocated Worker funds by the Governor within a state. The Department has allotted the PY 2020 Dislocated Worker program state allotments among the states in accordance with the factors required by WIOA. For reference the three data factors that the Department considers in allocating these funds to the states are summarized slightly 1. The relative number of unemployed individuals in each state compared to the total number of unemployed individuals in all states. For this factor the timeframe for comparison is the 12-month period October 2018 through September 2019. 2. The relative number of excess unemployed individuals in each state compared to the total excess number of unemployed individuals in all states. For this factor the timeframe for comparison is the 12-month period October 2018 through September 2019. No comparison to ASU excess is performed for this data factor. 3. The relative number of individuals in each state who have been unemployed for 15 weeks or more compared to the total number of individuals in all states who have been unemployed for 15 weeks or more. For this factor the timeframe for comparison is the 12-month period October 2018 through September 2019. WIOA sec. 132 b 2 B iii I requires the Dislocated Worker formula to adopt a 90 percent minimum of the prior year allotment percentage stop loss . 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 stop gain under section 132 b 2 B iii II . Appendix III -2- Low unemployment rates in the states have impacted the excess unemployment data factor in the WIOA Dislocated Worker formula. The excess unemployment rate of 4.5 percent and low unemployment result in all states triggering either their statutorily required stop loss or stop gain provision with some PY 2020 funding undistributed. WIOA specifically prohibits distributing an amount to a state that is more than its stop gain limit. Based on this statutory limitation the Department distributed the remaining balance of funds according to the formula driven relative share of all states triggering the stop loss provision. B. PY 2020 Funding WIOA Agreement NOAs. For PY 2020 Congress appropriated funds for this program in two portions for both formula funds and National Reserve funds. For state formula funds 192 053 000 is available for obligation on July 1 2020 PY 2020 and 860 000 000 is available for obligation on October 1 2020 FY 2021 . For the National Reserve which includes funds for the outlying areas 70 859 000 is available for obligation on July 1 2020 PY 2020 and 200 000 000 is available for obligation on October 1 2020 FY 2021 . After reductions associated with evaluations the amount available for state formula funds on July 1 2020 is 192 053 000 and on October 1 2020 is 859 660 000. For the National Reserve the amount available on July 1 2020 is 70 859 000 and on October 1 2020 is 199 921 000. Allotments to states and outlying areas are prorated based on the two amounts for formula funds and National Reserve respectively. ETA will issue allotments in two NOAs one for July 1 2020 under the PY 2020 WIOA grant agreement and the other for October 1 2020 also under the PY 2020 WIOA grant agreement see Attachment H . C. Sub-State Allocations. States will distribute Dislocated Worker Activities funds for PY 2020 among local workforce areas subject to the Governor s reservation of up to 25 percent for statewide Rapid Response activities under WIOA sec. 133 a 2 and the 15 percent limitation for statewide employment and training activities in accordance with the provisions in WIOA section 133 and the approved State Plan. States must calculate up to 15 percent for statewide activities on the total allotment for PY 2020. In allocating WIOA Dislocated Worker funds to local areas for PY 2020 states must ensure the state policy articulated in the approved State Plan remains consistent with this guidance. See Attachment C for a description of sub-state allocation formulas. Governors continue to prescribe the Dislocated Worker formula for sub-state allocations. Under WIOA the data factors that must be included are insured unemployment data unemployment concentrations plant closing and mass layoff data declining industries data farmer-rancher economic hardship data and long-term unemployment data. A state may assign zero weight to a factor only where the state is able to demonstrate it Appendix III -3- does not have an appropriate data source to accurately reflect state needs for a given data factor. For example the Bureau of Labor Statistics no longer produces the plant closing and mass layoff data one of the six data factors WIOA requires. ETA recognizes that an accurate source of such data is no longer available at the national level. Some states have sub-state administrative data available and others do not. In order to assign a weight of zero to a data factor such as the plant closing and mass layoff data factor the state must include the following information in their State Plan An inventory of available national or state-level data sources germane to the data factor A discussion of why the available data sources are inadequate for the purposes of assigning a weight to a given data factor and A description of how the Governor s formula is appropriate to distribute funds equitably throughout the state. Note that weighting a data factor at zero percent is not allowable under any other circumstance. WIOA requires the use of a minimum percentage or stop loss see WIOA sec. 133 b 2 B iii . A local workforce area must receive an allocation percentage that is no less than 90 percent of the average allocation percentage of the local area for the two preceding years. In the event of a shortage of funds states must obtain the amounts necessary to increase the allocations to local areas to comply with this provision by proportionately reducing the allocations to other local areas. The minimum percentage methodology states use for Dislocated Worker funds is the same minimum percentage methodology used in the sub-state Youth and Adult allocation formulas. States are not required to use a maximum percentage or stop gain but may use one if desired. D. Transfers of Funds. WIOA sec. 133 b 4 provides the authority for local workforce areas with approval of the Governor to transfer up to 100 percent of the Dislocated Worker Activities funds for expenditure on Adult Activities and up to 100 percent of Adult Activities funds for expenditure on Dislocated Worker Activities. E. Re-allotment of Funds. WIOA sec. 132 c requires the Secretary of Labor to recapture and reallot Dislocated Worker program formula funds based on state obligation levels at the end of the first program year of use ETA reallots in accordance with 20 CFR 683.135 . PY 2019 funds are only available for Federal obligation until the end of the program year and so the Secretary does not have authority to re-obligate PY 2019 funds after the first program year. Therefore any re-allotment of funds requires the use of PY 2020 funds. In other words the Department will reallot PY 2020 Dislocated Worker formula funds among states during PY 2020 based on state obligations of PY 2019 funds made during PY 2019. Likewise obligation of PY 2020 funds will impact recapture and reallotment of PY 2021 funding. 1. WIOA sec. 134 a 2 A ii gives states the flexibility to use PY 2019 Rapid Response funds that are not obligated by the end of PY 2019 for statewide activities. Appendix III -4- Per WIOA sec. 132 c states must still obligate 80 percent of their PY 2019 Dislocated Worker program formula funds which includes Rapid Response funds by June 30 2020 or potentially have PY 2020 funds recaptured and re-allotted to states who have obligated 80 percent of their PY 2019 funds. 2. The term obligation is defined at 2 CFR 200.71. The funds a state allocates to local areas are state obligations. States report aggregate allocations to the local areas on the Local Dislocated Worker ETA 9130 F financial reports along with obligations by local areas of those funds. Appendix IV -1- Appendix IV Wagner-Peyser Act ES Allotment Activities Wagner-Peyser Act ES Allotments. The appropriated level for PY 2020 for grants for the ES programs totals was 668 052 000. After determining the funding for Guam and the United States Virgin Islands 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 2020 formula allotments on each state s share of calendar year 2019 monthly averages of the Civilian Labor Force CLF and unemployment. The distribution of Wagner-Peyser Act funds for PY 2020 includes 666 423 522 for states as well as 1 628 478 for Guam and the United States Virgin Islands. Attachment I shows the distribution of PY 2020 ES formula amounts by state compared to PY 2019. Section 7 a of the Wagner-Peyser Act 49 U.S.C. 49f a authorizes states to use 90 percent of the funds allotted to a state for labor exchange services and other career services such as job search and placement services to job seekers appropriate recruitment services for employers program evaluations developing and providing labor market and occupational information developing management information systems and administering the work test for unemployment insurance claimants. Section 7 b of the Wagner-Peyser Act 49 U.S.C. 49f b states that 10 percent of the funds allotted to a state must be reserved for use by the Governor to provide performance incentives for public employment service offices and programs provide services for groups with special needs and provide for the extra costs of exemplary models for delivering services of the type described in section 7 a and models for enhancing professional development and career advancement opportunities of state agency staff. Appendix V -1-Appendix V Workforce Information Grants Allotment Activities Workforce Information Grants WIGs . Total funds for PY 2020 are 32 000 000. Funds are distributed to states by administrative formula with 176 800 for Guam and the United States Virgin Islands. Guam and the United States Virgin Islands allotment amounts are partially based on CLF data from the BLS Current Population Study. The remaining funds are distributed to the states with 40 percent distributed equally to all states and 60 percent distributed based on each state s share of the CLF for the 12 months ending September 2019. Attachment J contains the allotment amounts. Activities to be performed with money from WIGS will be described in a TEGL published later this year.

In addition all states must submit an electronically signed SF-424 Application for Federal Assistance through Grants.gov for each Wagner-Peyser Act program under Funding Opportunity Numbers ETA-TEGL-16-19-ES CFDA 17.207 ETA-TEGL-16-19-WIG CFDA 17.207 States must follow the instructions in this TEGL to receive WIGs funding including submission of SF-424s. Note that WIGs have specific grant deliverable requirements not outlined in this document. A forthcoming TEGL will list these grant deliverable requirements. An electronically submitted SF-424 through Grants.gov constitutes an official signed document and must reflect the amount for each Wagner-Peyser Act program ES Program and Workforce Information Grants . The closing date for receipt of each Wagner-Peyser Act program SF-424 is 30 days from the issue date of this TEGL. ETA will award the ES Program and Workforce Information Grant funds in July 2020. A copy of the executed PY 2020 ES Agreement will be available upon award of funds. 2.Grants.gov Submission Process. States must submit the SF-424 Application for Federal Assistance through Grants.gov. States needing to register with Grants.gov may do so here https www.grants.gov web grants grantors grantor-registration.html. Registration is a one- time process and states that already have a Grants.gov account do not need to register again. To submit the required SF-424s states must Appendix VI -2- Select the SEARCH GRANTS tab on the Grants.gov homepage. Under the section BASIC SEARCH CRITERIA states enter the Funding Opportunity Number referenced above in Section 1 of this appendix for each WIOA funding stream i.e. ETA-TEGL . Select the link to the applicable Opportunity Number provided in the search results. Select the PACKAGE tab. Under the ACTIONS column select APPLY. Submitting the SF-424 through Grants.gov constitutes an electronically signed SF-424 Application for Federal Assistance. For each funding stream the Estimated Funding section of the SF-424 item 18 must reflect the exact amount of the designated state allotment referenced in the attachments to this TEGL. Additionally Item 11 of the SF-424 must include the Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance Number CFDA for the applicable WIOA funding stream which is referenced above in Section 1. This submission process can be complicated and time-consuming. As such the Department strongly encourages states to initiate the process as soon as possible in order to allow time to resolve unanticipated technical problems. Submission requirements stipulate that all applicants for Federal grant and funding opportunities must 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 also ensure its registration with the System for Award Management SAM is current. SAM replaced the Central Contractor Registry. States can find instructions for registering with SAM at https www.sam.gov. 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 states must review and update the registration at least every 12 months from the date of initial registration. Failure to register with SAM and maintain an active account will result in Grants.gov rejecting your submission. For technical issues encountered during application submission states may call 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 but closes on federal holidays. States should e-mail all submission questions to Chanta Ferrell Grants Management Specialist at Ferrell.Chanta dol.gov. The email must reference the specific Funding Opportunity Number and include a contact name email address and phone number. 3. Reporting. For the WIOA formula programs states are required to submit the seven designated WIOA 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 . These seven Appendix VI -3- WIOA quarterly financial reports cover financial data for statewide Youth statewide Adult statewide 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 ES Program funds and the Workforce Information Grant funds.
