Opportunity Information: Apply for ETA TEGL ES 2017
The Wagner-Peyser Act Employment Service Program Allotments (Program Year 2017) grant opportunity was a mandatory, formula-based funding announcement from the U.S. Department of Labor's Employment and Training Administration (ETA) under CFDA 17.207. Rather than operating like a competitive grant where applicants propose projects for selection, this opportunity provided allotments to eligible jurisdictions based on the statutory formula and related federal guidance. The funding was intended to support core public employment service functions delivered through state workforce systems, with an emphasis on connecting job seekers to employment and helping employers meet their hiring needs.
Under Section 7(a) of the Wagner-Peyser Act, states were authorized to use 90 percent of their allotted funds for labor exchange services and other career services. In practical terms, that includes job search assistance and job placement activities for job seekers, recruitment and referral services for employers, and program evaluation efforts to assess effectiveness and improve service delivery. The allowable uses also explicitly covered the development and provision of labor market and occupational information, which supports informed decisions by job seekers, employers, and workforce agencies. In addition, states could use these funds to develop management information systems needed to operate and track services, and to administer the unemployment insurance work test, which helps verify that claimants are meeting work search requirements while receiving benefits.
Section 7(b) required that the remaining 10 percent of each state's allotment be set aside for the Governor's reserve. This portion was specifically designated for three main purposes: providing performance incentives for public employment service offices and programs, funding services for groups with special needs, and covering the extra costs of exemplary service delivery models that align with the activities described under Section 7(a). In other words, the Governor's reserve was designed to give states flexibility to reward strong performance, target resources toward populations that may face barriers to employment, and pilot or scale higher-cost approaches that demonstrate strong results.
The grant announcement referenced Training and Employment Guidance Letter (TEGL) No. 27-16, Attachment I, as the key document showing how the PY 2017 Employment Service formula amounts were distributed by state and how those amounts compared to PY 2016. This indicates that allocations were transparently published and tied to established formula calculations rather than discretionary decisions. The eligible recipients included U.S. states as well as the District of Columbia and the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, and the outlying areas of Guam and the U.S. Virgin Islands, reflecting the nationwide scope of the Employment Service program.
Administratively, the opportunity was labeled as ETA TEGL ES 2017, categorized as mandatory funding, and used the grant instrument type. The original closing date listed was July 14, 2017, and the expected number of awards was 54, which aligns with funding each state and participating territories/outlying areas. No award ceiling was specified in the listing, consistent with a formula allotment program where award amounts vary by jurisdiction according to the statutory distribution method. Overall, the PY 2017 Wagner-Peyser allotments were aimed at sustaining and improving the public labor exchange infrastructure: helping individuals find work, helping employers recruit, strengthening labor market information, maintaining the data systems that support service delivery, and ensuring unemployment insurance work search requirements are properly administered, while reserving a portion for performance, special populations, and innovative service models.Apply for ETA TEGL ES 2017
