Trade Adjustment Assistance Data Integrity (TAADI)

Purpose

To update TAADI instructions, previously issued in Training and Employment Guidance Letter (TEGL) No. 01-19. TAADI is a required component of quarterly reporting submitted by State Workforce Agencies or agencies designated by Governors as “Cooperating State Agencies” (“states”) and established procedures for corrective action by the U.S. Department of Labor (Department) in the event of non-compliance. The updated guidance provides clarifying language and better captures how the TAADI process adapts over time.
