PY 2011 WIA Dislocated Worker Reallotment: Small Increases for Most States
Issue Brief 12-21
May 9, 2012
On April
24, 2012, the Department of Labor’s (DOL) Employment and Training
Administration (ETA) notified states that program year (PY) 2011 Workforce
Investment Act (WIA) Dislocated Worker Assistance funds would be subject to
reallotment based on states’ PY 2010 unobligated balances. In accordance with
WIA Section 132(c), DOL is directed to recapture and reallocate excess
unobligated funds under any WIA Title I formula program. ETA also indicated that every state met the threshold
for WIA adult and youth services programs and there will not be a reallotment
of these formula funds. This Issue Brief
outlines the provisions that result in such a reallotment and changes to the PY
2011 WIA dislocated worker allocations.
