This grant, offered by the Department of Labor, provides crucial funding for Dislocated Worker Activities under the Workforce Innovation Opportunity Act (WIOA). Allotments for states are determined by established WIOA formula provisions. Notably, this program waives competition requirements for funding designated outlying areas, which include American Samoa, Guam, Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, the Republic of Palau, and the United States Virgin Islands. For Program Year 2017, grant amounts for these outlying areas will be based on an administrative formula previously utilized under the Workforce Investment Act. This grant is for providing financial assistance to states and specified outlying territories to support workforce development initiatives aimed at aiding dislocated workers, with detailed allocation information available in supporting guidance.

| Description: | Workforce Innovation Opportunity Act (WIOA) allotments for States are based on formula provisions contained in WIOA (see Training and Employment Guidance Letter (TEGL) No.27-16, Attachment B for WIOA and Wagner-Peyser formula descriptions). The Act waives the competition requirement contained in WIOA secs. 127(b)(1)(B)(ii), 132(b)(1)(A)(ii), and 132(b)(2)(A)(ii) regarding funding to outlying areas (i.e., American Samoa, Guam, Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, the Republic of Palau, and the United States Virgin Islands). For Program Year (PY) 2017, outlying area grant amounts will be based on the administrative formula determined by the Secretary that was used under Workforce Investment Act. Attachment G to the TEGL provides the PY 2017 Dislocated Worker Activities State Allotments, and a State- by-State comparison of the PY 2017 allotments to PY 2016 allotments. |
