To provide information to states and outlying areas on WIOA Title I Adult Dislocated Worker and Youth Activities program allotments for PY 2023 final PY 2023 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 2023. 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 2023 funds based on unobligated balances of PY 2022 funds in excess of 20 percent of their allotment at the end of PY 2022 6 30 23 Requirements when calculating sub-state allocations to local areas and updated Disadvantaged Youth and Adult data for use in PY 2023 and future WIOA Youth and Adult within-state allocation formulas Funds set aside for evaluations and program integrity Salary caps at the Executive Level II Waivers of the competition requirement for outlying areas and updated 2020 Census data used in the outlying area allotments and New authority for outlying areas to submit an application for a single consolidated grant for Adult Dislocated Worker and Youth funds. 2 b. Background - On December 29 2022 the Consolidated Appropriations Act 202 3 Pub. L. 117 -328 was signed into law from this point forward referred to as the Act . The Act makes PY 20 23 Youth Activities funds available for obligation on April 1 20 23 and funds the WIOA Adult and Dislocated Worker programs i n two separate appr opriations. The first appropriation s for the Adult and Dislocated Worker programs become available for obligation on July 1 20 23 this portio n is commonly referred to as base funds. The second appropriation s for the Adult and Dislocated Worker program s become available for obligation on October 1 20 23 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 20 23 that will be made available on October 1 20 23 were appropriated during FY 20 23 but not made available until FY 202 4 and are called the FY 202 4 advance funds. See Attachment A for details. The Act Division H Title I sec s. 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 20 23 as authorized by the Act the Department has set aside 10 408 000 of the Training and Employment Services TES and 2 556 500 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 to States program budgets. Any funds not utilized for the se 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 202 4 advance funding levels base funding is disseminated at the full amount appropriated in the Act. The Act also spe cifies 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 s alary caps are imposed under the Act Division H Title I sec. 105 . The f unds provided to grantees in these allotments must not be used by a recip ient or sub -recipient to pay the salary and bonus es 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 contain ed in WIOA see Attachment B for WIOA and Wagner -Peyser Act formula descriptions . The Act waives the competition re quirement 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 20 23 outlying area grant amounts are based on the administrative formula determined by the Secretary that was used under the Workforce 3 Investment Act . Note ETA used updated 2020 Census data to calculate the Adult Youth and Workforce Information Grants outlying area allotments. The 2020 Island Areas Censuses IAC operation was impacted by the COVID -19 pandemic. While the enumeration was successful the COVID -19 pandemic impacted the quality of the detailed social economic and housing characteristic data for American Samoa Guam and the U.S. Virgi n Islands. Guidance is available at https www2.census.gov programs - surveys decennial 2020 technical -documentation island -areas -tech -docs 2020 -iac - guidance.pdf . Palau s data was obtained from the 2021 Statistical Yearbook of the Republic of Palau available at https www.palaugov.pw wp - content uploads 2022 07 2021 -Statistical -Yearbook.pdf . Additionally t he Act allows outlying areas to submit a single application according to the requirements established by the Secretary for a consolidated grant for Adult Youth and Dislocated Worker funds. Subject to approval of the grant application and other reporting requirements of the Secretary the Act allows outlying areas receiving a consolidated grant to use th ose funds interchangeably between Adult Youth and Dislocated Worker programs or activities. If an outlying area is interested in consolidating its grants it should contact the appropriate ETA Regional Office. ETA will separately provide outlying areas additional guidance regarding application and reporting requirements associated with the option to consolidate funds. 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 an d 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 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 20 24 . In addition to this TEGL ETA will publish the allotments and descriptions of the allotment formulas in the https www.federalregister.gov . In this Federal Register notic e ETA will invite comments on the allotment formula for outlying areas. 4. WIOA PY 202 3 Allotments .

A. State Allotments . The appropriated level for PY 202 3 for WIOA Youth Activities totals 948 130 000 . After reducing the appropriation b y 3 629 000 for set asides authorized by the Act and reserving 925 200 for Migrant and Seasonal Farmworker MSFW Youth 94 3 575 800 is available for Youth Activities which includes 14 153 637 for Native American grantees 927 098 608 for states and 2 323 555 for outlying areas. The WIOA Youth formula has a section in WIOA for a reservation for MSFW Youth if the appropriation exceeds 925 000 000 . Per WIOA 127 a 1 ETA reserved 4 percent 925 200 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 set asides authorized by the Act after the MSFW Youth and Native American reservation s. The Native American reservation is calculated on the total available for Youth Activities after set asides authorized by the Act after the MSFW Youth reservation . Attachment D contains a breakdown of the WIOA Yo uth Activities program allotments by state for PY 202 3 and provides a comparison of these allotments to PY 20 22. Please note that the Department will provide information on the Native American Youth allotments in a separate T raining and Employment Guidance Letter TEGL . Formula funds are allotted for PY 202 3 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 20 21 through June 20 22 as prepared by the states under the direction of the Bureau of Labor Statistics BLS i n 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 ASU s depending on which is higher averages for the same 12 -month period July 20 21 through June 20 22 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 no t 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 tabulation s for disadvantaged youth between January 1 201 6 and December 31 20 20 . Since the total amount available for states in PY 202 3 is below the required 1 billion threshold specified in WIOA sec. 127 b 1 C iv IV which was also the case in PY Appendix I -2- 20 22 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 flo or 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 202 3 Funding WIOA Agreement Notice of Award NOAs . Youth program funds are available to states to use once the PY 202 3 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 202 3 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. Alloc ation 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 Substantia l 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 20 21 to June 20 22. b. The relative excess nu mber 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 20 21 to June 20 22. 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 y outh 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 1 201 6 and December 31 20 20 . Appendix I -3- For purposes of identifying ASUs for the Youth Acti vities sub -state allocation formula states must use data made available by BLS as described in L ocal Area Unemployment Statistics LAUS Technical Memorandum No. S -22-13 . 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 unemploye d 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 20 23 and will publish this information in a forthcoming TEGL . 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 t he 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 portio n 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 no t 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 s uch 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 20 22 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 20 22 funds after the first program year. Therefore any reallotment of funds requires the use of PY 202 3 funds. In other words recapture and reallotment of PY 202 3 funds is based on obligation levels of PY 20 22 funds at the end of PY 20 22. 1. The obligation threshold a state must meet to avoid recapture under WIOA sec. 127 c 2 is 80 percent. The term ob ligation 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 allocatio ns the state has obligated more than 80 percent of its PY 20 22 funds and no further action is required regarding reallotment of PY 202 3 funds. 2. States report the aggregate amount of allocations to the local areas on the Local Youth ETA -9130 B financia l reports along with obligations by local areas of those funds. Note that a s part of ETA s transition away from legacy systems the new Payment Management System PMS Financial Reporting System is go ing live for ETA grant recipients submission of the qu arterly ETA -9130 financial reports on April 3 2023. PMS is operated by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services which will conduct training for ETA grant recipients on the use of the new reporting Appendix I -5- system. Additional guidance and information on the access and use of the PMS Financial Reporting System for the submission of future ETA -9130 quarterly financial reports is provided in Training and Employment Notice TEN No. 16 -22. The PMS Financial Reporting System training sessions will be recorded and available for future reference. 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 m inimum allotment review the PY 202 3 columns in Attachments D and E. States that meet the criteria for PY 202 3 as a minimum allotment state are those states that receive a PY 202 3 WIOA Youth allotment of 2 317 747 or receive a PY 202 3 WIOA Adult allotmen t of 2 201 794 . If a state wishes to submit a small state OSY exception request they must submit the request for PY 202 3 by September 30 202 3. The request must be submitted to the appropriate ETA Regional Administrator and contain the required justifi cation outlined in the WIOA final rule at 20 CFR 681.410 b . Appendix I I -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 202 3 is 885 649 000 . After reducing the appropriated amount by 2 724 000 for set asides authorized by the Act 882 925 000 remains for Adult Activities of which 880 717 687 is for states and 2 207 313 is for outlying areas. Attachment E shows the PY 202 3 Adult Employment and Training Activities allotments and a state -by -state comparison of the PY 202 3 allotments to PY 20 22 allotments. The three formula data factors that the Department uses to distrib ute 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 rath er than the number of disadvantaged youth. Since the total amount available for the Adult Activities program for states in PY 20 23 is below the required 960 million threshold specified in WIOA sec. 132 b 1 B iv IV as was also the case in PY 20 22 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 20 23 Funding WI OA Agreement NOAs . For PY 20 23 Congress appropriated funds for this program in two portions 173 649 000 is available for obligation on July 1 20 23 PY 20 23 and 712 000 000 is available for obligation on October 1 20 23 FY 202 4 . After reductions associated with evaluations and program integrity the amount available for Adult Activities on July 1 20 23 PY 20 23 is 173 649 000 and on October 1 20 23 FY 2024 is 709 276 000 . 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 20 23 under the PY 20 23 WIOA grant agreement and the other for October 1 20 23 also under the PY 20 23 WIOA grant agreement see Attachment F . C. Sub -State Allocations . States must distribute WIOA Adult Activities funds for PY 20 23 allotments among local workforce areas subject to reservation of the 15 percent limitation for statewide employmen t and training activities in accordance with the provisions in WIOA section 133 and the approved State Plan. States must calculate the up to 1 5 percent available for statewide activities on the total allotment for PY 20 23. In allocating WIOA Adult funds to local areas for PY 20 23 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 Appendix I I -2- the approved WIOA Unifie d or Combined 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 20 21 to June 20 22. 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 20 21 to June 20 22. 3. Th e 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 1 201 6 and December 31 20 20 . 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 -22-13 . 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 de termine the numb er 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 form ula disadvantagedyouthadults . ETA obtained updated data for use in PY 20 23 and will publish this information in a forthcoming TEGL. States must utilize a minimum percentage or stop loss to ensure that no local area receive s 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 s hare or percentage of funds allocated to all local areas . States must Appendix I I -3- not use 90 percent of the average amount allocated to the local area for the last two years. States must obtain a mounts necessary to increas e 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 f unds are made available to the s tate or 7 days after the date the local plan for the area is approved whichever is later. 2. Discretionary Formula . Alte rnatively 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 rema inder 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 dis tributed 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 re lated 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 povert y 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 a llocation 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 Appendix I I -4- areas with approval of the Governor to transfer up to 10 0 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 . WI OA 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 6 83 .135 . PY 20 22 funds are only available for Feder al obligation until the end of the program year and so the Secretary does not have authority to re -obligate PY 20 22 funds after the first program year. Therefore any re -allotment of funds requires the use of PY 202 3 funds. In other words re -allotment of PY 202 3 funds is based on obligation levels of PY 20 22 funds at the end of PY 20 22. 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 tha t 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 20 22 funds and no further action is required regarding re -allotment of PY 202 3 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. As noted in Appendix I a s part of ETA s transition away from legacy systems the new PMS Finan cial Reporting System is go ing live for ETA grant recipients submission of the quarterly ETA -9130 financial reports on April 3 2023. PMS is operated by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services which will conduct training for ETA grant recipients on the use of the new reporting system. Additional guidance and information on the access and use of the PMS Financial Reporting System for the submission of future ETA -9130 quarterly financial reports is provided in TEN No. 16 -22. The PMS Financial Rep orting System training sessions will be recorded and available for future reference. Appendix I II -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 20 23 totals 1 421 412 000 . 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 Colle ge Grants and the outlying areas Dislocated Worker allotments. After reducing the appropriated amount by 4 055 000 for set asides authorized by the Act a total of 1 417 357 000 remains available for Dislocated Worker Activities. The amount available for outlying areas is 3 543 393 leaving 321 550 607 for the National Reserve and a total of 1 092 263 000 available for states. A. State Allotments . Attachment G shows the PY 20 23 Dislocated Worker Activities allotments and a state -by -state comparis on of the PY 202 3 allotments to PY 20 22 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 20 23 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 20 21 through September 20 22. 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 20 21 through September 20 22. No comparison to A SU 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 1 5 weeks or more. For this factor the timeframe for comparison is the 12 -month period October 20 21 through September 20 22. 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 I II -2- B. PY 20 23 Fun ding WIOA Agreement NOAs . For PY 20 23 Congress appropriated funds for this program in two portions for both formula funds and National Reserve funds. For state formula funds 235 553 000 is available for obligation on July 1 20 23 PY 20 23 and 860 000 000 is available for obligation on October 1 20 23 FY 202 4 . For the National Reserve which includes funds for the outlying areas 125 859 000 is available for obligation on July 1 20 23 PY 20 23 and 200 000 000 is available for obligation o n October 1 20 23 FY 202 4 . After reductions associated with evaluations and program integrity the amount available for state formula funds on July 1 20 23 is 235 553 000 and on October 1 20 23 is 856 710 000 . For the National Reserve the amount ava ilable on July 1 20 23 is 125 859 000 and on October 1 20 23 is 199 235 000 . 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 20 23 under the PY 20 23 WIOA grant agreement and the other for October 1 20 23 also under the PY 20 23 WIOA grant agreement see Attachment H . C. Sub -State Allocations . States will distribute Dislocated Worker Activities funds for PY 20 23 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 wit h 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 20 23. In allocating WIOA Dislocated Worker funds to local areas for PY 20 23 s tates 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 unemploy ment data. A s tate 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 recognize s that an accurate source of such data is no longer available at the national level. Some state s 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 WIOA Unified or Combin ed State Plan Appendix I II -3- An inventory of available national or state -level d ata 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 ho w 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 percent age 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 percen t 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 s tate obligation levels at the end of the first program year of use ETA reallots in accordance with 20 CFR 683.135 . PY 20 22 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 20 22 funds after the first program year. Therefore any re -allotment of funds requires the use of PY 20 23 funds. In other words the Department will reallot PY 20 23 Dislocated Worker formula funds among states during PY 20 23 based on state obligations of PY 20 22 funds made during PY 20 22. Likewise obligation of PY 202 3 funds will impact recapture and reallotment of PY 202 4 funding. 1. WI OA sec. 134 a 2 A ii gives s tates the flexibility to use PY 20 22 Rapid Response funds that are not obligated by the end of PY 20 22 for statewide activities. Per WIOA sec. 132 c states must still obligate 80 percent of their PY 20 22 Dislocated Worker program formula funds which includes Rapid Response funds by June 30 20 23 or potentially have PY 20 23 funds recaptured and re -allotted to states who have obligated 80 percent of their PY 20 22 funds. Appendix I II -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 allocat ions to the local areas on the Local Dislocated Worker ETA 9130 F financial reports along with obligations by local areas of those funds. As noted in Appendix I a s part of ETA s transition away from legacy systems the new PMS Financial Reporting System is go ing live for ETA grant recipients submission of the quarterly ETA -9130 financial reports on April 3 2023. PMS is operated by the U.S. Department of Health an d Human Services which will conduct training for ETA grant recipients on the use of the new reporting system. Additional guidance and information on the access and use of the PMS Financial Reporting System for the submission of future ETA -9130 quarterly financial reports is provided in TEN No. 16 -22. The PMS Financial Reporting System training sessions will be recorded and available for future reference. Appendix IV -1- Appendix IV Wagner -Peyser Act ES Allotment Activities Wagner -Peyser Act ES Final Allotments . The appropriated level for PY 20 23 for grants for the ES programs totals was 680 052 000 . After reducing the appropriated amount by 2 520 500 for set asides authorized by the Ac t 677 531 500 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 20 23 formula allotments on each state s share of calendar year 20 22 monthly averages of the Civilian Labor Force CLF and unemployment. The distribution of Wagner -Peyser Act funds for PY 20 23 includes 675 879 914 for states as well as 1 651 586 for Guam and the United States Virgin Islands. Attachment I shows the distribution of PY 20 23 ES formula amounts by state compared to PY 20 22. Section 7 a of the Wagner -Peyser Act 49 U.S.C. 49f a authorize s states to use 90 perc ent of the funds allotted to a s tate 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 th e 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 f or delivering services of the type described in section 7 a and models for enhancing professional development and career advancement opportunities of state agency staff. To provide services such as outreach to M igrant and Seasonal Farmworkers MSFW State Monitor Advocate SMA responsibilities and others State Workforce Agencies SWA must use Wagner -Peyser Act ES funding to provide employment services to MSFW s as described at 20 CFR 651 653 654 and 658. These services include but are not limited to outreach to MSFWs SMA responsibilities clearance of job orders through the Agricultural Recruitment System ARS and operation of the Employment Service and Employment -Related Law Complaint System. Wagner -Peyser funds support the following ES staffing requirements 1 an adequate number of outreach staff as described in the approved Agricultural Outreach Plan and ES regulations at 653.107 a 2 a full -time SMA unless the SWA has approval from the Regional Administra tor for less than full -time SMA devotion and ES staff assigned to the SMA to assist the SMA to fulfil the SMA s responsibilities as necessary under 653.108 d 3 ES staff assigned to conduct preoccupancy housing inspections and field checks on ARS clearance orders and 4 trained Complaint System Representatives for ES offices and the SWA as described at 658 Subpart E . Appendix V -1-Appendix V Workforce Information Grants Allotment Activities Workforce Information Grants WIGs . Total funds for PY 2023 are 32 000 000. After reducing the total by 36 000 for program integrity 31 964 000 is available for Workforce Information Grants. Funds are distributed to states by administrative formula with 176 714 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 Survey which was updated this year with data from the 2020 Census. 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 2022. Attachment J contains the allotment amounts. Activities to be performed with money from WIGS will be described in a TEGL published later this year. Appendix VI -1- Appendix VI Submission Requirements and Reporting 1. Submission Requirements .

Note that WIG S 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 ES program and WIGS . The closing date for receipt of each ES program SF -424 is 30 days from the issue date of this TEGL. ETA will award t he ES program and WIGS funds in July 20 23. A copy of the executed PY 20 23 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 Appendix VI -2-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 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. Also Item 15 of the SF424 must indicate the amount of Indirect Costs claimed by the recipient. Example Indirect Costs for this award are estimated at 19 000. A dollar amount must be inserted even if it is 0 . 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. As of April 4 2022 the DUNS Number was replaced by a new non-proprietary identifier requested in and assigned by SAM.gov. This new identifier is being called the Unique Entity Identifier UEI or the Entity ID. To learn more about SAM s rollout of the UEI please visit the U.S. General Service Administration GSA Unique Entity Identifier Update webpage. 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 sam.gov content entity-registration. 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 the email address found in https www.grants.gov web grants support.html. 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 Janice Sheelor Grants Management Specialist at Sheelor.Janice dol.gov. The email must reference the specific Funding Appendix VI -3-Opportunity Number and include a contact name email address and phone number. 3.Separate Grants. ETA has determined that it is necessary to de-couple programs that were previously awarded under a single grant and execute them as individual awards as part of an ongoing effort to improve data quality and fulfill reporting requirements to USASpending.gov. Prior to PY 2023 the annual allotments for the three separate WIOA programs were distributed under a single grant award using the AA program identifier. Similarly while the Wagner-Peyser ES Program grant and the Workforce Information Grants were distributed under a single grant award using the ES program identifier. Starting in PY 2023 ETA will award a separate grant to states and outlying areas for each WIOA and ES program except for those outlying areas that request a WIOA consolidated grant. For the WIOA programs this will result in three separate grant awards as follows WIOA Youth PY 2023 Youth funding under program identifier AY. WIOA Adult PY 2023 Adult and FY 2024 Advance Adult funding under program identifier AT. WIOA Dislocated Worker PY 2023 Dislocated Worker and FY 2024 Advance Dislocated Worker funding under program identifier AW. For the Employment Service programs this will result in two separate grant awards as follows Wagner-Peyser ES Program PY 2023 ES funding under program identifier WP. Workforce Information System Grants WIGs PY 2023 WIGs funding under program identifier WG. Note that this change does not impact the submission of the ETA 9130 financial reports since grantees are required to currently submit a separate ETA 9130 for each program. 4.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 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 WIGS funds. Please refer to published ETA guidance and instructions on the ETA Advisory publication page https wdr.doleta.gov directives . Appendix VI -4- 5. Grant Award Descriptions .
