Notice on Reallotment of Workforce Innovation Opportunity Act Title I Formula Allotted Funds for Dislocated Worker Activities for Program Year 2022

AGENCY:

Employment and Training Administration (ETA), Labor.

ACTION:

Notice.

SUMMARY:

The Workforce Innovation Opportunity Act (WIOA), requires the Secretary of Labor (Secretary) to conduct reallotment of certain WIOA formula allotted funds based on ETA-9130 financial reports submitted by states at of the end of the prior Program Year (PY). This notice publishes the Dislocated Worker PY 2022 funds for recapture by state and the amount to be reallotted to eligible states.

DATES:

This notice is effective March 20, 2023.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Ms. Kimberly Vitelli, Administrator, U.S. Department of Labor, Office of Workforce Investment, Employment and Training Administration, Room C-4510, 200 Constitution Avenue NW, Washington, DC. Telephone (202) 693-3639 (this is not a toll-free number) or fax (202) 693-3981.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

In the Fiscal Year (FY) 2022 Consolidated Appropriations Act, Congress appropriated WIOA PY 2022 funds in two portions: (1) funds available for obligation July 1, 2022 ( i.e., PY 2022 "base" funds), and (2) funds available for obligation October 1, 2022 ( i.e., FY 2023 "advance" funds). Together, these two portions make up the complete PY 2022 WIOA funding. Training and Employment Guidance Letter (TEGL) No. 09-21 announced WIOA allotments based on this appropriation and TEGL No. 19-20 alerted states to the recapture and reallotment of funds' provisions based on obligations of PY 2021 funding, as required under WIOA Section 132(c). This section and 127(c) of WIOA requires the Secretary to conduct reallotment of excess unobligated WIOA Adult, Youth, and Dislocated Worker formula funds based on ETA 9130 financial reports submitted by states at the end of the prior program year ( i.e., PY 2021).

WIOA regulations at 20 CFR 683.135 describe the procedures the Secretary uses for recapture and reallotment of funds. ETA will not recapture any PY 2022 funds for the Adult and Youth programs because there are no states where PY 2021 unobligated funds exceed the statutory requirements of 20 percent of state allotted funds. However, for the Dislocated Worker program, Ohio and Puerto Rico had unobligated PY 2021 funds in excess of 20 percent of their allotments. Therefore, ETA will recapture a total of $4,957,289 from PY 2022 funding from Ohio and Puerto Rico and reallot those funds to the remaining eligible states, as required by WIOA Section 132(c).

ETA will issue a Notice of Award to the states to reflect the recapture and reallotment of these funds. The adjustment of funds will be made to the FY 2023 advance portion of the PY 2022 allotments, which ETA issued in October 2022. The attached tables display the net changes to PY 2022 formula allotments.

WIOA and its implementing regulations do not provide specific requirements by which states must distribute realloted funds, so states have flexibility to determine the methodology used. For any state subject to recapture of funds, WIOA Section 132(c)(5) requires the Governor to prescribe equitable procedures for reacquiring funds from the state and local areas.

As mentioned, the recapture/reallotment adjustments will be made to the FY 2023 advance portion of the PY 2022 allotment. Therefore, for reporting purposes, states must reflect the recapture/reallotment amount (decrease or increase) in the "Total Federal Funds Authorized" line of any affected FY 2023 ETA 9130 financial reports (State Dislocated Worker Activities, Statewide Rapid Response, Local Dislocated Worker Activities) in a manner consistent with the method of distribution of these amounts to state and local areas used by the state. The state must include an explanation of the adjustment in the remarks section of the adjusted reports.

As part of ETA's transition away from legacy systems, the new Payment Management System (PMS) Financial Reporting System will go 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 Training and Employment Notice (TEN) No. 16-22. The PMS Financial Reporting System training sessions will be recorded and available for future reference.
