Opportunity Information: Apply for ETA WOTC TEGL 06 20 21 C1
The Department of Labor (DOL), through its Employment and Training Administration (ETA), released a mandatory grant announcement titled "Work Opportunity Tax Credit Funding Allotments for Fiscal Year 2021" (Funding Opportunity Number: ETA WOTC TEGL 06 20 21 C1) on April 6, 2021. The purpose of this opportunity is to make available the Fiscal Year (FY) 2021 state allotments for the Work Opportunity Tax Credit (WOTC) program so that states can carry out WOTC-related activities. In practical terms, the guidance is aimed at ensuring states understand what funding is available, what they must submit to receive their allotment, and what administrative and operational expectations apply while they run the program.
This announcement sits within the employment, labor, and training category and is tied to CFDA number 17.271. The eligible applicants are primarily state governments, with the notice also indicating "others" may be eligible depending on the additional eligibility language in the full text. The program is structured as a grant, and it is categorized as mandatory, meaning the funding is allocated according to statutory or formula-driven requirements rather than being a purely competitive discretionary competition. The announcement anticipates 53 awards, which aligns with the typical number of state and territorial entities administering workforce programs.
The core content of the TEGL (Training and Employment Guidance Letter) is not just a notice that money exists; it also lays out what states need to do to obtain their FY 2021 allocation and how they are expected to administer it. It describes grant award application requirements for grantees to receive their funding allocations, and it provides general administrative policies and procedural guidance established by ETA. It also points states to the WOTC Statement of Work, which is where the operational requirements and performance expectations for WOTC administration are typically spelled out. In other words, this TEGL functions as both a funding allotment announcement and an instruction set that governs how states request, receive, manage, and document the use of WOTC grant funds.
Applications were due by April 30, 2021, with the notice stating that submissions had to be received by 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time on the closing date (the source text shows "40000 p.m." which appears to be a formatting error, but the intent is the standard 4:00 p.m. ET deadline). The award ceiling listed is $2,016,774, indicating the maximum amount that could be awarded under a single grant, likely reflecting variation in allotment sizes across states based on the underlying allocation methodology.
Overall, this opportunity is best understood as ETA formally distributing FY 2021 WOTC administrative funding to state-level entities and setting the conditions for receiving and using those funds. The emphasis is on enabling states to conduct WOTC activities while following federal administrative policies, procedural rules, and the specific program duties described in the WOTC Statement of Work, so that the WOTC certification process and related program functions are carried out consistently and in compliance with ETA requirements.Apply for ETA WOTC TEGL 06 20 21 C1
