SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: WIOA allotments for states and the state
allotments for the Wagner-Peyser Act are based on formulas defined in
their respective statutes. WIOA requires allotments for the Outlying
Areas to be competitively awarded rather than based on a formula
determined by the Secretary of Labor (Secretary) as occurred under the
Workforce Investment Act (WIA). However, for PY 2020, the Further
Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2020 waives the competition
requirement, and the Secretary is using the discretionary formula
rationale and methodology for allocating PY 2020 funds for the Outlying
Areas (American Samoa, Guam, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana
Islands, the Republic of Palau, and the United States Virgin Islands)
that was published in the Federal Register at 65 FR 8236 (Feb. 17,
2000). WIOA specifically included the Republic of Palau as an Outlying
Area, except during any period for which the Secretary of Labor and the
Secretary of Education determine that a Compact of Free Association is
in effect and contains provisions for training and education assistance
prohibiting the assistance provided under WIOA; no such determinations
prohibiting assistance have been made. The formula that the Department
of Labor (Department) used for PY 2020 is the same formula used in PY
2019 and is described in the section on Youth Activities program
allotments. The Department invites comments only on the formula used to
allot funds to the Outlying Areas.
The Department is announcing WIOA allotments for PY 2020 for Youth
Activities, Adults and Dislocated Worker Activities, Wagner-Peyser Act
PY 2020 allotments, and PY 2020 Workforce Information Grant allotments.
This notice provides information on the amount of funds available
during PY 2020 to states with an approved WIOA Combined or Unified
State Plan, and information regarding allotments to the Outlying Areas.
On December 20, 2019, the Further Consolidated Appropriations Act,
2020, Public Law 116-94 was signed into law (``the Act''). The Act,
Division A, Title I, Sections 106(b) and 107 of the Act allows the
Secretary of Labor (Secretary) to set aside up to 0.5 percent of each
discretionary appropriation for activities related to program integrity
and 0.75 percent of most operating funds for evaluations. For 2020, as
authorized by the Act, the Department has set aside $818,000 of the
Training and Employment Services (TES) appropriation for evaluations.
ETA reserved these funds from the WIOA Adult, Youth, and Dislocated
Worker program budgets. Any funds not utilized for these reserve
activities will be provided to the states. We also have attached tables
listing the PY 2020 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 2020
Wagner-
[[Page 23859]]
Peyser Act allotments (Table D). We also have attached the PY 2020
Workforce Information Grant table (Table E).
Youth Activities Allotments. The appropriated level for PY 2020 for
WIOA Youth Activities totals $913,130,000. After reducing the
appropriation by $224,000 for evaluations, $912,906,000, is available
for Youth Activities. Table A includes a breakdown of the Youth
Activities program allotments for PY 2020 and provides a comparison of
these allotments to PY 2019 Youth Activities allotments for all States
and Outlying Areas. For the Native American Youth program, the total
amount available is 1.5 percent of the total amount for Youth
Activities (after the evaluations set-aside), 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 the evaluations set aside) after the amount reserved
for 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 Palau through FY 2024.
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 2020, the Further Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2020
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 2020, 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 2020, the Department continued to use the data
obtained from the 2010 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 2015 Census. The Department will accept comments on this
methodology.
After the Department calculated the amount for the Outlying Areas
and the Native American program, the amount available for PY 2020
allotments to the states is $896,964,379. 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. 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 2020 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 2018-June
2019 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. ETA obtained updated data
for use in PY 2018 and the same data must be used in PY 2020. The
Census Bureau collected the data used in the special tabulations for
disadvantaged youth between January 1, 2011-December 31, 2015.
For purposes of identifying ASUs for the Youth Activities allotment
formula, the Department continued to use the data made available by BLS
(as described in the Local Area Unemployment Statistics (LAUS)
Technical Memorandum No. S-19-15). For purposes of determining the
number of disadvantaged youth, the Department used the special
tabulations of ACS data available at: https://www.dol.gov/agencies/eta/budget/formula/disadvantagedyouthadults.
See TEGL No. 14-17 for further information.
Adult Employment and Training Activities Allotments. The total
appropriated funds for Adult Activities in PY 2020 is $854,649,000.
After reducing the appropriated amount by $175,000 for evaluations,
$854,474,000 remains for Adult Activities, of which $852,337,815 is for
states and $2,136,185 is for Outlying Areas. Table B shows the PY 2020
Adult Employment and Training Activities allotments and a state-by-
state comparison of the PY 2020 allotments to PY 2019 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 the evaluations set-aside). As
discussed in the Youth Activities section above, in PY 2020 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 2020
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 2020
totals $1,322,912,000. The total appropriation includes formula funds
for the states, while the National Reserve is used for National
Dislocated Worker Grants, technical assistance and training,
demonstration projects, Workforce Opportunity for Rural Communities,
[[Page 23860]]
Community College Grants, and the Outlying Areas' Dislocated Worker
allotments. After reducing the appropriated amount by $419,000 for
evaluations, a total of $1,322,493,000 remains available for Dislocated
Worker activities. The amount available for Outlying Areas is
$3,306,233, leaving $267,473,767 for the National Reserve and a total
of $1,051,713,000 available for states. Table C shows the PY 2020
Dislocated Worker activities allotments and a state-by-state comparison
of the PY 2020 allotments to PY 2019 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 the
evaluations set-aside). Similar to Youth and Adult funds, instead of
competition, in PY 2020 the Department will use the same pro rata share
as the areas received for the PY 2020 WIOA Adult Activities program to
distribute the Outlying Areas' Dislocated Worker funds, the same
methodology used in PY 2019. The Department will accept comments on
this methodology.
The three data factors required in WIOA sec. 132(b)(2)(B)(ii) for
the PY 2020 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 2018-September 2019;
(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 2018-September 2019; 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 2018-September 2019.
In PY 2020, 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).
Low unemployment rates in the states have impacted the excess
unemployment data factor in the WIOA Dislocated Worker formula. The
excess unemployment rate of 4.5 percent and low unemployment result in
all states triggering either their statutorily required stop loss or
stop gain provision, with some PY 2020 funding undistributed. WIOA
specifically prohibits distributing an amount to a state that is more
than its stop gain limit. Based on this statutory limitation, the
Department distributed the remaining balance of funds according to the
formula driven relative share of all states triggering the stop loss
provision.
Wagner-Peyser Act ES Allotments. The appropriated level for PY 2020
for ES grants totals $668,052,000. 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 2020 formula
allotments on each state's share of calendar year 2019 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 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 2019. 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 $666,423,522 for states, as well as
$1,628,478 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 2020 funding for
Workforce Information Grants allotments to states is $32,000,000. Table
E contains the allotment figures for each state and Outlying Area. The
Department distributes the funds by administrative formula, with a
reserve of $176,800 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 2019.
