Opportunity Information: Apply for ETA TEGL PY FY DW 2018 C1
The grant opportunity titled "Revised Fiscal Year (FY) 2019 Advance Funding Levels Available October 2018 for Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) Adult and Dislocated Worker (DW) Program Allotments" is a mandatory Department of Labor, Employment and Training Administration (ETA) announcement that updates funding amounts for states under the WIOA Adult and Dislocated Worker programs for FY 2019. Rather than introducing a brand-new competitive grant program, this notice functions as formal guidance to state workforce agencies on the adjusted allotment levels of federal formula funds that became available in October 2018. In practical terms, it tells states what their revised funding totals are for the Adult and Dislocated Worker streams for the period covered, so they can budget, plan services, and manage their workforce system obligations using the corrected figures.
A central point of the announcement is that it represents "Change 1" to Training and Employment Guidance Letter (TEGL) 16-17, and the revision specifically restores a set-aside for evaluations to the funding that was made available to states in October 2018. Evaluation set-asides are amounts reserved at the federal level to support research, performance analysis, and program evaluation activities. When those amounts are adjusted, the downstream effect is that state-level allotments can shift because the total pool available for distribution changes. This revised guidance therefore matters to state administrators because it clarifies the correct distribution amounts they should rely on when obligating funds for participant services such as career services, training, supportive services, and related activities authorized under WIOA for adults and dislocated workers.
The opportunity is categorized as mandatory funding and uses the grant instrument type, reflecting the fact that WIOA Adult and Dislocated Worker funds are primarily distributed by formula to states rather than awarded through open competition. The funding activity category is Employment, Labor and Training, and the associated CFDA (now commonly referred to as Assistance Listing) number is 17.278, which corresponds to WIOA Adult and Dislocated Worker Employment and Training Activities. The eligible applicants field indicates "Others (see text field entitled Additional Information on Eligibility for clarification)," but in context this type of ETA guidance is directed to states and, by extension, the state entities that administer WIOA funds through workforce development boards and local service delivery systems. The announcement lists an expected number of awards of 57, which aligns with the typical set of jurisdictions receiving formula allotments (states, territories, and certain outlying areas depending on the program design).
Key administrative details included in the listing are the publishing timeframe and submission window. The creation date is November 2, 2018, and the original closing date is December 3, 2018. The notice states that applications must be received no later than 40000 p.m. Eastern Time, which is almost certainly a formatting error and would ordinarily be interpreted as a standard late-afternoon deadline (commonly 4:00 p.m. Eastern). Even so, because this is guidance on revised allotments for formula funds, the "closing date" is best understood as the administrative deadline connected to the grant action or related paperwork process rather than a competitive proposal deadline where applicants submit narrative applications to be scored against each other.
In terms of scale, the award ceiling is listed as $154,908,740. Because this is a formula allotment notice, that ceiling can be read as the maximum amount associated with an individual award or the total reflected in the allotment action, depending on how the listing was entered; however, the important takeaway is that the guidance is dealing with a substantial amount of FY 2019 WIOA Adult and Dislocated Worker funding. The overall purpose is straightforward: provide corrected, revised state-by-state funding levels for FY 2019 Adult and Dislocated Worker program allotments that were available beginning in October 2018, with the specific adjustment being the restoration of the evaluation set-aside described in Change 1 to TEGL 16-17.Apply for ETA TEGL PY FY DW 2018 C1
