To provide guidance to the State Workforce Agencies or agencies designated by Governors as “Cooperating State Agencies” (CSAs) (also jointly referred to as "states") for phasing out the amendments to the Trade Act of 1974 enacted by the Trade and Globalization Adjustment Assistance Act of 2009 (TGAAA or the 2009 Amendments). Because December 31, 2010 (the statutory deadline) is a Federal holiday, followed by Saturday, January 1, and Sunday January 2, petitions received on and before 11:59 PM EST, Monday, January 3, will be governed by the 2009 Amendments, and workers covered by those petitions may be eligible for the benefits and services provided by those Amendments. Petitions filed after that date and time will be governed under the prior law, and workers covered by those petitions may be eligible for the benefits and services provided under that prior law.
