Background Every year ETA calculates allotments based on statutory formulas thatrequire ETA to adjust funding from one state relative to another based on factors that change year to year such as relative share of unemployment. The attached table shows how changes from last year in relative share of unemployment and other factors change the relative share of allotments for state planning purposes. ETA will publish final amounts available for state grants in its annual allotment guidance once Congress enacts a full-year appropriation for FY 2024 and after the Department determines set asides for evaluations and program integrity. The funding levels in this guidance letter can provide states with a general idea of how their funding may change in PY 2024.
