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 2022 funds based on unobligated balances of PY 20 21 funds in excess of 20 percent of their allotment at the end of PY 2021 6 30 22 Requirements when calculating sub-state allocations to local areas Funds set aside for evaluations and program integrity Salary caps at the Executive Level II and Waivers of the competition requirement for outlying areas. b. Background - On March 15 2022 the Consolidated Appropriations Act 2022 Pub. L. 11 7-103 was signed into law from this point forward referred to as the Act . The Act makes PY 2022 Youth Activities funds available for obligation o n April 1 2022 and funds the WIOA Adult and Dislocated Worker programs in two separate appropriations. The first appropriations for the Adult and Dislocated Worker programs become available 2 for obligation on July 1 2022 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 2022 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 2022 that will be made available on October 1 2022 were appropriated during FY 2022 but not made available until FY 2023 and are called the FY 2023 advance funds. See Attachment A for details. The Act Division H 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 2022 as authorized by the Act the Department has set aside 11 489 000 of the Training and Employment Services TES and 2 819 000 of the State Unemployment Insurance and Employment Services Operations SUIESO appropriations impacted in this TEGL for these activities. ETA reserved these funds from the WIOA Adult Youth Dislocated Worker Wagner-Peyser Act Employment Service and Workforce Information Grant program budgets. Any funds not utilized for these reserve activities will be provided to the states. ETA applied the reductions for evaluations and program integrity from the WIOA Adult and Dislocated Worker programs only to the FY 2023 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. Lastly salary caps are imposed under the Act Division H 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 Implementing the Salary and Bonus Limitations in Public Law 109-234. 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 2022 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 3 determinations prohibiting assistance have been m ade 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 funding. See 48 U.S.C. 1921d f 1 B ix . The National Defen se 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 20 24 . In addition to this TEGL ETA will publish the allotments and descr iptions of the allotment formulas in the https www.federalregister.gov .

A. State Allotments. The appropriated level for PY 2022 for WIOA Youth Activities totals 933 130 000. After reducing the appropriation by 3 963 000 for set asides authorized by the Act 929 167 000 is available for Youth Activities which includes 13 932 627 for Native American grantees 912 621 900 for states and 2 287 273 for outlying areas. The WIOA Youth formula has a section in WIOA for a reservation for Migrant and Seasonal Farmworker MSFW Youth if the appropriation exceeds 925 000 000. Per WIOA 127 a 1 ETA reserved 4 percent 325 200 of the excess amount for MSFW Youth. 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 MSFW Youth and Native American reservations. The Native American reservation is calculated on the total available for Youth Activities after the MSFW Youth reservation. Attachment D contains a breakdown of the WIOA Youth Activities program allotments by state for PY 2022 and provides a comparison of these allotments to PY 2021. 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 2022 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 2020 through June 2021 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 2020 through June 2021 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 2022 is below the required 1 billion threshold specified in WIOA sec. 127 b 1 C iv IV which was also the case in PY 2021 the Department did not apply the WIOA additional minimum provisions see Attachment B . Instead the minimums of 90 percent of the prior year allotment Appendix I -2- 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. B. PY 2022 Funding WIOA Agreement Notice of Award NOAs . Youth program funds are available to states to use once the PY 2022 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 2022 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 2020 to June 2021. 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 2020 to June 2021. 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. Appendix I -3- 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-21-12 . 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 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 2022. 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 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 C.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. Appendix I -4-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 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 C.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 2021 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 2021 funds after the first program year. Therefore any reallotment of funds requires the use of PY 2022 funds. In other words recapture and reallotment of PY 2022 funds is based on obligation levels of PY 2021 funds at the end of PY 2021. 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 2021 funds and no further action is required regarding reallotment of PY 2022 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 Appendix I -5- 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 2022 columns in Attachments D and E. States that meet the criteria for PY 2022 as a minimum allotment state are those states that receive a PY 2022 WIOA Youth allotment of 2 281 555 or receive a PY 2022 WIOA Adult allotment of 2 163 640. If a state wishes to submit a small state OSY exception request they must submit the request for PY 2022 by September 30 2022. 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 2022 is 870 649 000. After reducing the appropriated amount by 3 024 000 for set asides authorized by the Act 867 625 000 remains for Adult Activities of which 865 455 937 is for states and 2 169 063 is for outlying areas. Attachment E shows the PY 2022 Adult Employment and Training Activities allotments and a state-by-state comparison of the PY 2022 allotments to PY 2021 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 2022 is below the required 960 million threshold specified in WIOA sec. 132 b 1 B iv IV as was also the case in PY 2021 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 2022 Funding WIOA Agreement NOAs. For PY 2022 Congress appropriated funds for this program in two portions 158 649 000 is available for obligation on July 1 2022 PY 2022 and 712 000 000 is available for obligation on October 1 2022 FY 2023 . After reductions associated with evaluations and program integrity the amount available for Adult Activities on July 1 2022 PY 2022 is 158 649 000 and on October 1 2022 is 708 976 000. 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 2022 under the PY 2022 WIOA grant agreement and the other for October 1 2022 also under the PY 2022 WIOA grant agreement see Attachment F . C. Sub-State Allocations. States must distribute WIOA Adult Activities funds for PY 2022 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 2022. In allocating WIOA Adult funds to local areas for PY 2022 states may use either the allocation formula described in WIOA sec. 133 b 2 A or the discretionary allocation Appendix II -2- 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. 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 2020 to June 2021. 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 2020 to June 2021. 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-21-12 . 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 2022. 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 Appendix II -3- 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 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 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 C.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 C.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. Appendix II -4- 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 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 2021 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 2021 funds after the first program year. Therefore any re-allotment of funds requires the use of PY 2022 funds. In other words re-allotment of PY 2022 funds is based on obligation levels of PY 2021 funds at the end of PY 2021. 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 2021 funds and no further action is required regarding re-allotment of PY 2022 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 2022 totals 1 376 412 000. 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 4 502 000 for set asides authorized by the Act a total of 1 371 910 000 remains available for Dislocated Worker Activities. The amount available for outlying areas is 3 429 775 leaving 296 579 225 for the National Reserve and a total of 1 071 901 000 available for states. A. State Allotments. Attachment G shows the PY 2022 Dislocated Worker Activities allotments and a state-by-state comparison of the PY 2022 allotments to PY 2021 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 2022 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 2020 through September 2021. 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 2020 through September 2021. 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 2020 through September 2021. 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- B. PY 2022 Funding WIOA Agreement NOAs. For PY 2022 Congress appropriated funds for this program in two portions for both formula funds and National Reserve funds. For state formula funds 215 553 000 is available for obligation on July 1 2022 PY 2022 and 860 000 000 is available for obligation on October 1 2022 FY 2023 . For the National Reserve which includes funds for the outlying areas 100 859 000 is available for obligation on July 1 2022 PY 2022 and 200 000 000 is available for obligation on October 1 2022 FY 2023 . After reductions associated with evaluations and program integrity the amount available for state formula funds on July 1 2022 is 215 553 000 and on October 1 2022 is 856 348 000. For the National Reserve the amount available on July 1 2022 is 100 859 000 and on October 1 2022 is 199 150 000. 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 2022 under the PY 2022 WIOA grant agreement and the other for October 1 2022 also under the PY 2022 WIOA grant agreement see Attachment H . C. Sub-State Allocations. States will distribute Dislocated Worker Activities funds for PY 2022 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 2022. In allocating WIOA Dislocated Worker funds to local areas for PY 2022 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 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 Appendix III -3- 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 2021 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 2021 funds after the first program year. Therefore any re-allotment of funds requires the use of PY 2022 funds. In other words the Department will reallot PY 2022 Dislocated Worker formula funds among states during PY 2022 based on state obligations of PY 2021 funds made during PY 2021. Likewise obligation of PY 2022 funds will impact recapture and reallotment of PY 2023 funding. 1. WIOA sec. 134 a 2 A ii gives states the flexibility to use PY 2021 Rapid Response funds that are not obligated by the end of PY 2021 for statewide activities. Per WIOA sec. 132 c states must still obligate 80 percent of their PY 2021 Dislocated Worker program formula funds which includes Rapid Response funds by June 30 2022 or potentially have PY 2022 funds recaptured and re-allotted to states who have obligated 80 percent of their PY 2021 funds. Appendix III -4- 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 Final Allotments. The appropriated level for PY 2022 for grants for the ES programs totals was 675 052 000. After reducing the appropriated amount by 2 775 000 for set asides authorized by the Act 672 277 000 is available for ES programs. 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 2022 formula allotments on each state s share of calendar year 2021 monthly averages of the Civilian Labor Force CLF and unemployment. The distribution of Wagner-Peyser Act funds for PY 2022 includes 670 638 223 for states as well as 1 638 777 for Guam and the United States Virgin Islands. Attachment I shows the distribution of PY 2022 ES formula amounts by state compared to PY 2021. 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 2022 are 32 000 000. After reducing the total by 44 000 for program integrity 31 956 000 is available for Workforce Information Grants. Funds are distributed to states by administrative formula with 176 694 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 2021. Attachment J contains the allotment amounts. Activities to be performed with money from WIGS will be described in a TEGL published later this year.

WIOA Adult and Dislocated Worker programs Purpose The purpose of the WIOA Adult and Dislocated Worker grants is to serve individuals and help employers meet their workforce needs. The WIOA Adult program enables workers to obtain good jobs by providing them with job search assistance and training opportunities. The WIOA DW program aims to help dislocated workers get back to work as quickly as possible and overcome barriers to employment. When individuals become dislocated workers as a result of job loss mass layoffs global trade dynamics or transitions in economic sectors the Dislocated Worker program provides services to assist them in re- entering the workforce. Activities to be performed WIOA specifies that most services for Adult and Dislocated Workers will be provided through the American Job Center network also known as one-stop career centers. Under both programs eligible individuals will receive career services which are classified into two categories basic and individualized services. While some job seekers may only need self-service or other basic career services such as labor exchange services others may need more comprehensive services such as individualized services which include career planning and developing an individual employment plan outlining needs and goals of the job seeker. Participants will also receive training services linked to job opportunities in their communities. To promote customer choice and involvement in career decisions participants use an Individual Training Account to select an appropriate training program from an eligible training provider list. WIOA also authorizes the provision of supportive services e.g. transportation and child care assistance to enable an individual to participate in the program. Expected Outcomes The WIOA Adult and Dislocated Worker program outcomes are to ensure that individuals can access and receive the training services they are eligible for so that they may overcome barriers to employment and reenter the workforce systems quickly as possible.
