TRAINING AND EMPLOYMENT GUIDANCE LETTER No. 29-14, Change 4

2015
2016
Subject

The Department Restores the Reduced Adult and Dislocated Worker Funding Available October 2015 to the Original Appropriated Amounts and Uses Transition Authority to Forgo Recapture and Reallotment of Program Year (PY) 2015 Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) Funds.

Purpose

This guidance informs states that the Department will not reallot PY 2015 funds among states based on obligations made during PY 2014, as indicated in TEGL 29-14, Change 1. This is a one-time occurrence allowing states to use Rapid Response funds for WIOA implementation activities, as referred in TEGL 26-14. This guidance also provides States and outlying areas with revised WIOA Adult and Dislocated Worker PY 2015 program allotments, which became available to states in October 2015. The Change 3 to TEGL 29-14 revised the funding available to states on October 2015 to reflect the 0.2108 percent reduction enacted in the short-term Continuing Appropriations Act for FY 2016. This Change 4 to TEGL 29-14 rescinds the 0.2108 percent reduction and fully restores appropriated original funding.

Please direct questions regarding these allotments to the appropriate ETA Regional Office. Information on allotments and planning requirements may also be found on the ETA Web site at http://www.doleta.gov
