SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Department is announcing WIOA allotments
for PY 2026 for Youth Activities, Adult and Dislocated Worker
Activities, Wagner-Peyser Act PY 2026 allotments, and PY 2026 Workforce
Information Grant allotments. This notice provides information on the
amount of funds available during PY 2026 to states with an approved
WIOA Combined or Unified State Plan, and information regarding
allotments to the Outlying Areas.
On February 3, 2026, the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2026 was
enacted and from this point forward, referred to as ``the Act''. The
Act allows the Secretary to set aside up to 0.5 percent of each
discretionary appropriation for activities related to program integrity
and up to 0.75 percent of most operating funds for evaluations.
Additionally, section 102 allows for up to 1 percent of discretionary
funds in the Act to be transferred between programs, projects, or
activities. For 2026, as authorized by the Act, the Department has set
aside $645,000 of the Training and Employment Services (TES) and
$155,000 of the State Unemployment Insurance and Employment Services
Operations (SUIESO) appropriations impacted in this FRN for these
activities. ETA reserved these funds from the WIOA Adult, Youth,
Dislocated Worker, and Wagner-Peyser Act ES program budgets. Any funds
not utilized for these reserve activities will be provided to the
states.
The Act makes PY 2026 Youth Activities funds available for
obligation on April 1, 2026, and funds the WIOA Adult and Dislocated
Worker programs in two separate appropriations. The first
appropriations for the Adult and Dislocated Worker programs become
available for obligation on July 1, 2026; this portion is commonly
referred to as ``base'' funds. The second appropriations for the Adult
and Dislocated Worker programs become available for obligation on
October 1, 2026; this portion is commonly referred to as ``advance''
funds because they are provided in the appropriations act passed during
the fiscal year immediately before the fiscal year when the funds are
available. For example, funds for PY 2026 that will be made available
on October 1, 2026, were appropriated during FY 2026, but not made
available until FY 2027, and are called the FY 2027 ``advance'' funds.
We also have attached tables listing the PY 2026 allotments for
programs under WIOA Title I Youth Activities (Table A), Adult and
Dislocated Workers Employment and Training Activities (Tables B and C,
respectively), and the PY 2026 Wagner-Peyser Act allotments (Table D).
We also have attached the PY 2026 Workforce Information Grant table
(Table E), the total WIOA Youth, Adult and Dislocated Worker funding
for Outlying Areas (Table F) and the PY 2026 WIOA Youth, Adult, and
Dislocated Worker Estimated Governor's Reserve Maximums (Table G).
Youth Activities Allotments. The appropriated level for PY 2026 for
WIOA Youth Activities totals $948,130,000. After reducing the
appropriation by $225,000 for set asides authorized by the Act and
reserving $925,200 for Migrant and Seasonal Farmworker (MSFW) Youth,
$946,979,800 is available for Youth Activities. Table A includes a
breakdown of the Youth Activities program allotments for PY 2026 and
provides a comparison of these allotments to PY 2025 Youth Activities
allotments for all States and Outlying Areas. The WIOA Youth formula
has a section in WIOA for a reservation for Migrant and Seasonal
Farmworker (MSFW) Youth if the appropriation exceeds $925,000,000. Per
WIOA 127(a)(1), ETA reserved 4 percent ($925,200) of the excess amount
for MSFW Youth. For the Native American Youth program, the total amount
available is 1.5 percent of the total amount for Youth Activities
(after set asides authorized by the Act) after the MSFW Youth
reservation (in accordance with WIOA section 127). The total funding
available for the Outlying Areas was reserved at 0.25 percent of the
amount appropriated for Youth Activities (after set asides authorized
by the Act) after the amount reserved for MSFW Youth and Native
American Youth (in accordance with WIOA section 127(b)(1)(B)(i)). On
December 17, 2003, Public Law 108-188, the Compact of Free Association
Amendments Act of 2003 (``the Compact''), was signed into law. The
Compact specified that the Republic of Palau remained eligible for WIA
Title I funding. See 48 U.S.C 1921d(f)(1)(B)(ix). WIOA sec. 512(g)(1)
updated the Compact to refer to WIOA funding. The National Defense
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2018 (Division A, Title XII, Subtitle
F, Section 1259C(c) of Pub. L. 115-91) authorized WIOA Title I funding
to the Republic of Palau through FY 2026.
Under WIA, the Secretary had discretion for determining the
methodology for distributing funds to all Outlying Areas. Under WIOA
the Secretary must award the funds through a competitive process.
However, for PY 2026, the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2026 waives
the competition requirement regarding funding to Outlying Areas (e.g.,
American Samoa, Guam, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands,
the Republic of Palau, and the United States Virgin Islands). For PY
2026, outlying area grant amounts are based on the administrative
formula determined by the Secretary that was used under the WIA. The
Department used the same methodology used since PY 2000 (i.e., we
distribute funds among the Outlying Areas by formula based on relative
share of the number of unemployed, a minimum of 90 percent of the prior
year allotment percentage, a $75,000 minimum, and a 130 percent stop
gain of the prior year share). For the relative share calculation in PY
2026, the Department continued to use the data obtained from the 2020
Census for American Samoa, Guam, the Commonwealth of the Northern
Mariana Islands, and the United States Virgin Islands. For the Republic
of Palau, the Department used data from Palau's 2020 Census. The
Department will accept comments on this methodology. The Act
additionally allows Outlying Areas to submit a single application
according to the requirements established by the Secretary for a
consolidated grant for Adult, Youth, and Dislocated Worker funds.
Subject to approval of the grant application and other reporting
requirements of the Secretary, the Act allows Outlying Areas receiving
a consolidated grant to use those funds interchangeably between Adult,
Youth, and Dislocated Worker programs or activities. Table F includes
the total Youth, Adult and Dislocated Worker funding for Outlying
Areas.
After the Department calculated the amount for the MSFW Youth,
Outlying Areas and the Native American program, the amount available
for PY 2026 allotments to the states is $930,443,165. This total amount
is below the required $1 billion threshold specified in WIOA sec.
127(b)(1)(C)(iv)(IV); therefore, the Department did not apply the WIOA
additional minimum provisions.
[[Page 22856]]
Instead, as required by WIOA, the minimums of 90 percent of the prior
year allotment percentage and 0.25 percent state minimum floor apply.
WIOA also provides that no state may receive an allotment that is more
than 130 percent of the allotment percentage for the state for the
previous year. The three data factors required by WIOA sec.
127(b)(1)(C)(ii) for the PY 2026 Youth Activities state formula
allotments are, summarized slightly, as follows:
(1) The average number of unemployed individuals in Areas of
Substantial Unemployment (ASUs) for the 12-month period, July 2024-June
2025 in each state compared to the total number of unemployed
individuals in ASUs in all states;
(2) Number of excess unemployed individuals or excess unemployed
individuals in ASUs (depending on which is higher) averages for the
same 12-month period used for ASU unemployed data compared to the total
excess unemployed individuals or ASU excess number in all states; and
(3) Number of disadvantaged youth (age 16 to 21, excluding college
students not in the workforce and military) from special tabulations of
data from the American Community Survey (ACS), which the Department
obtained from the Census Bureau in each state compared to the total
number of disadvantaged youth in all states. The Census Bureau
collected the data used in the special tabulations for disadvantaged
youth between January 1, 2016-December 31, 2020.
For purposes of identifying ASUs for the Youth Activities allotment
formula, the Department continued to use the data made available by the
Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) (as described in the Local Area
Unemployment Statistics (LAUS) Technical Memorandum No. S-25-17). For
purposes of determining the number of disadvantaged youth, the
Department used the special tabulations of ACS data available at:
<a href="https://www.dol.gov/agencies/eta/budget/formula/disadvantagedyouthadults">https://www.dol.gov/agencies/eta/budget/formula/disadvantagedyouthadults</a>. See TEGL No. 01-23 for further information.
Adult Employment and Training Activities Allotments. The total
appropriated funds for Adult Activities in PY 2026 is $875,649,000.
After reducing the appropriated amount by $169,000 for set asides
authorized by the Act, $875,480,000 remains for Adult Activities, of
which $873,291,300 is for states and $2,188,700 is for Outlying Areas.
Table B shows the PY 2026 Adult Employment and Training Activities
allotments and a state-by-state comparison of the PY 2026 allotments to
PY 2025 allotments.
In accordance with WIOA, the Department reserved the total
available for the Outlying Areas at 0.25 percent of the full amount
appropriated for Adult Activities (after set asides authorized by the
Act). As discussed in the Youth Activities section above, in PY 2026
the Department will distribute the Adult Activities funding for the
Outlying Areas, using the same principles, formula, and data as used
for outlying areas for Youth Activities. The Department will accept
comments on this methodology. After determining the amount for the
Outlying Areas, the Department used the statutory formula to distribute
the remaining amount available for allotments to the states. The
Department did not apply the WIOA minimum provisions for the PY 2026
allotments because the total amount available for the states was below
the $960 million threshold required for Adult Activities in WIOA sec.
132(b)(1)(B)(iv)(IV). Instead, as required by WIOA, the minimums of 90
percent of the prior year allotment percentage and 0.25 percent state
minimum floor apply. WIOA also provides that no state may receive an
allotment that is more than 130 percent of the allotment percentage for
the state for the previous year. The three formula data factors for the
Adult Activities program are the same as those used for the Youth
Activities formula, except the Department used data for the number of
disadvantaged adults (age 22 to 72, excluding college students not in
the workforce and military).
Dislocated Worker Employment and Training Activities Allotments.
The amount appropriated for Dislocated Worker activities in PY 2026
totals $1,396,412,000. The total appropriation includes formula funds
for the states, while the Dislocated Worker National Reserve is used
for National Dislocated Worker Grants, technical assistance and
training, demonstration projects, grant programs specified in the Act,
and the Outlying Areas' Dislocated Worker allotments. After reducing
the appropriated amount by $251,000 for set asides authorized by the
Act, a total of $1,396,161,000 remains available for Dislocated Worker
activities. The amount available for Outlying Areas is $3,490,403,
leaving $297,321,597 for the Dislocated Worker National Reserve and a
total of $1,095,349,000 available for states. Table C shows the PY 2026
Dislocated Worker activities allotments and a state-by-state comparison
of the PY 2026 allotments to PY 2025 allotments.
Similar to the Adult Activities program, the Department reserved
the total available for the Outlying Areas at 0.25 percent of the full
amount appropriated for Dislocated Worker Activities (after set asides
authorized by the Act). Similar to Youth and Adult funds, instead of
competition, in PY 2026 the Department will use the same pro rata share
as the areas received for the PY 2026 WIOA Adult Activities program to
distribute the Outlying Areas' Dislocated Worker funds, the same
methodology used in PY 2025. The Department will accept comments on
this methodology.
The three data factors required in WIOA sec. 132(b)(2)(B)(ii) for
the PY 2026 Dislocated Worker state formula allotments are, summarized
slightly, as follows:
(1) Relative number of unemployed individuals in each state,
compared to the total number of unemployed individuals in all states,
for the 12-month period, October 2024-September 2025;
(2) Relative number of excess unemployed individuals in each state,
compared to the total excess number of unemployed individuals in all
states, for the 12-month period, October 2024-September 2025; and
(3) Relative number of long-term unemployed individuals in each
state, compared to the total number of long-term unemployed individuals
in all states, for the 12-month period, October 2024-September 2025.
In PY 2026, under WIOA the Dislocated Worker formula uses minimum
and maximum provisions. No state may receive an allotment that is less
than 90 percent of the state's prior year allotment percentage (stop
loss) or more than 130 percent of the state's prior year allotment
percentage (stop gain).
Wagner-Peyser Act ES Allotments. The appropriated level for PY 2026
for ES grants totals $675,052,000. After reducing the appropriated
amount by $155,000 for set asides authorized by the Act, $674,897,000
is available for ES grants. After determining the funding for Guam and
the United States Virgin Islands, the Department calculated allotments
to states using the formula set forth at section 6 of the Wagner-Peyser
Act (29 U.S.C. 49e). The Department based PY 2026 formula allotments on
each state's share of calendar year 2025 monthly averages of the
civilian labor force (CLF) and unemployment. Section 6(b)(4) of the
Wagner-Peyser Act requires the Secretary to set aside up to three
percent of the total funds available for ES to ensure that each state
will have sufficient resources to maintain statewide ES activities. In
accordance with this provision, the Department
[[Page 22857]]
included the three percent set-aside funds in this total allotment. The
Department distributed the set-aside funds in two steps to states that
have experienced a reduction in their relative share of the total
resources available this year from their relative share of the total
resources available the previous year. In Step 1, states that have a
CLF below one million and are also below the median CLF density were
maintained at 100 percent of their relative share of prior year
resources. ETA calculated the median CLF density based on CLF data
provided by the BLS for calendar year 2025. The Department distributed
all remaining set-aside funds on a pro-rata basis in Step 2 to all
other states experiencing reductions in relative share from the prior
year but not meeting the size and density criteria for Step 1. The
distribution of ES funds (Table D) includes $673,251,836 for states, as
well as $1,645,164 for Outlying Areas.
Section 7(a) of the Wagner-Peyser Act (49 U.S.C. 49f(a)) authorizes
states to use 90 percent of funds allotted to a state for labor
exchange services and other career services such as job search and
placement services to job seekers; appropriate recruitment services for
employers; program evaluations; developing and providing labor market
and occupational information; developing management information
systems; and administering the work test for unemployment insurance
claimants. Section 7(b) of the Wagner-Peyser Act states that 10 percent
of the total sums allotted to each state must be reserved for use by
the Governor to provide performance incentives for public ES offices
and programs, provide services for groups with special needs, and to
provide for the extra costs of exemplary models for delivering services
of the type described in section 7(a) and models for enhancing
professional development and career advancement opportunities of state
agency staff.
Workforce Information Grants Allotments. Total PY 2026 funding for
Workforce Information Grants allotments is $32,031,000. Table E
contains the allotment figures for each state and Outlying Area. The
Department distributes the funds by administrative formula, with a
reserve of $176,874 for Guam and the United States Virgin Islands. Guam
and the United States Virgin Islands allotment amounts are partially
based on CLF data. The Department distributes the remaining funds to
the states with 40 percent distributed equally to all states and 60
percent distributed based on each state's share of CLF for the 12
months ending September 2025.
