Notice on Reallotment of Workforce Innovation Opportunity Act
(WIOA) Title I Formula Allotted Funds for Dislocated Worker Activities
for Program Year (PY) 2021
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 as of the end of the prior PY. This notice publishes the
dislocated worker PY 2021 funds for recapture by state and the amount
to be reallotted to eligible states.
DATES: This notice is effective February 10, 2022.
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) 693-3980 (this is not a toll-free
number) or fax (202) 693-3981.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the Fiscal Year (FY) 2021 Appropriations
Act, Congress appropriated WIOA PY 2021 funds in two portions: (1)
Funds available for obligation July 1, 2021 (i.e., PY 2021 ``base''
funds), and (2) funds available for obligation October 1, 2021 (i.e.,
FY 2022 ``advance'' funds). Together, these two portions make up the
complete PY 2021 WIOA funding. Training and Employment Guidance Letter
(TEGL) No. 19-20 announced WIOA allotments based on this appropriation
and TEGL No. 16-19 alerted states to the recapture and reallotment of
funds' provisions based on obligations of PY 2020 funding, as required
under WIOA Section 132(c). This section and 127(c) of WIOA requires the
Secretary of Labor (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 2020).
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 2021 funds for the Adult and Youth programs because
there are no states where PY 2020 unobligated funds exceed the
statutory requirements of 20 percent of state allotted funds. However,
for the Dislocated Worker program, Oklahoma had unobligated PY 2020
funds in excess of 20 percent of their allotments. Therefore, ETA will
recapture a total of $89,236 from PY 2021 funding from Oklahoma 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. ETA will make adjustments of
funds to the FY 2022 advance portion of the PY 2021 allotments, which
ETA issued in October 2021. The attached tables display the net changes
to PY 2021 formula allotments.
WIOA and its implementing regulations are silent on how 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, ETA will make the recapture/reallotment adjustments
to the FY 2022 advance portion of the PY 2021 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 2022 ETA 9130 financial reports (State
Dislocated Worker Activities, Statewide Rapid Response, Local
Dislocated Worker Activities) in a manner consistent with the method of
[[Page 7872]]
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.
