Background. TEGL 27-16, issued on June 9, 2017, announced Program Year (PY) 2017 WIOA state allotments. This Change 1 TEGL informs the states of recent allotment adjustments necessary due to the Continuing Appropriations Act, 2018, P.L. 115-56, enacted on September 8, 2017, (henceforth referred to as the “Continuing Resolution”). The Continuing Resolution did not reduce the WIOA Youth Activities funds (available April 1, 2017) or the base portion (available July 1, 2017) of funding for Adult and Dislocated Worker activities. However, the Resolution did reduce the FY 2018 advance funds for WIOA Adult and Dislocated Worker programs by 0.6791 percent. In addition, this Change 1 TEGL corrects the amounts for small state minimum allotments in the last sentence in F. Small State Minimum Allotment States under section 4. State WIOA Youth Activities Funds: Title I--Chapter 2--Youth Activities. The minimum allotment correction is shown in bold in the following sentence. States that meet the criteria for PY 2017 as a minimum allotment State are those states that receive a PY 2017 WIOA Youth allotment of $2,128,572 or receive a PY 2017 WIOA Adult allotment of $2,017,831. 4. Notice of Award (NOA). The Department will issue a NOA with the new FY 2018 advance amounts for the Adult and Dislocated Worker programs. Because ETA will take into account the reduction when the NOA is issued, the states need take no further accounting actions. 5. Possibility of an additional Rescission to FY 2018 Funding. It is possible that the final appropriation for FY 2018 will contain an additional rescission greater than the 0.6791 percent reduction to the Adult and Dislocated Worker Advance funding identified in this Change 1 to TEGL 27-16. 6. Inquiries. Please direct questions regarding these allotments to the appropriate ETA Regional Office. Information on allotments and planning requirements may also be found on the ETA Web site at http://www.doleta.gov 7. Attachments. A.
