SUBJECT: Changes in Adult and Dislocated Worker Funds for FY 2005, Change No. 1

DATE: June 21, 2005

1. Purpose. To provide guidance on ETA plans to de-obligate Fiscal Year (FY) 2005 Adult and Dislocated Worker Programs formula funds for Program Year (PY) 2004 as required of Public Law 108-199, Consolidated Appropriations Resolution, 2004.

2. References.

(a)TEGL 23-04.

(b)Consolidated Appropriations Resolution, 2005, Public Law 108-447, December 8, 2005.

3. Background. Public Law 108-447 requires the Secretary to make a reduction of 0.80 percent to all FY 2005 discretionary programs. This includes the WIA Adult and Dislocated Worker formula allotted funds for FY 2005 (funds available beginning October 1, 2004) appropriated in the FY 2004 DOL appropriation. The rescission calls for a reduction of $5,696,000 from the initial allotment of $712,000,000 for Adult activities and a reduction of $8,480,000 from the initial allotment of $1,060,000,000 for Dislocated Worker activities. This national rescission reduces Rhode Island’s original Adult allocation by $15,897 and our Dislocated Worker allocation by $19,858. The entire amount of the rescission affects the FY-05 availability. The tables below show the effect of this rescission and summarize your funding for the Adult and Dislocated Worker Programs by including recently reallocated Dislocated Worker funds which also only affected FY05.
