Opportunity Information: Apply for ETA UIPL 17 24 PUA
The grant opportunity titled "Supplemental Budget Request Opportunity for Additional Administrative Funding to Support States' Ongoing Administrative Activities Associated with Certain CARES Act Unemployment Compensation Programs" is a U.S. Department of Labor, Employment and Training Administration (ETA) funding announcement issued through an Unemployment Insurance Program Letter (UIPL). It makes additional, targeted administrative funding available to help jurisdictions continue the back-end work tied to the Pandemic Unemployment Assistance (PUA) program that was created under the CARES Act. The focus is not on paying benefits, but on covering the costs of the ongoing administrative workload that remains after the main surge of pandemic-era claims.
The purpose of the funding is to support essential administrative activities connected to PUA, especially the work that has to continue for reporting and compliance long after benefits were issued. The UIPL specifically highlights costs related to required reporting, maintaining and retaining data, audit support and oversight work, detecting overpayments, establishing and recovering overpayments, and completing financial reconciliation. In practical terms, this is the funding meant to help states and territories handle the accountability side of the PUA program: keeping records in order, responding to audits and reviews, tracking improper payments, pursuing recoveries where appropriate, and ensuring the financial books tied to the program match what was paid and what is owed.
This is a discretionary grant program (Opportunity Category: Discretionary) using a grant as the funding instrument (Funding Instrument Type: Grant). The funding activity category is Employment, Labor and Training, and it is associated with CFDA number 17.225. The opportunity number is listed as ETA UIPL 17 24 PUA, which signals it is tied to a specific UIPL issuance rather than a traditional competitive Notice of Funding Opportunity used for many other federal grants.
Eligibility is aimed at governmental unemployment insurance administrators rather than private or nonprofit organizations. Eligible applicants include states, the District of Columbia, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, and additional U.S. jurisdictions: the U.S. Virgin Islands, the Pacific Territories, and the Freely Associated States. The announcement anticipates up to 59 awards, reflecting the broad set of eligible UI jurisdictions that may request and receive supplemental administrative resources.
In terms of potential award size, the listed award ceiling is $2,730,000. That ceiling indicates the maximum amount that may be awarded per recipient under this opportunity, although actual awards can vary depending on need, documented administrative costs, and the budget request framework set out in the UIPL. Because this is framed as a supplemental budget request opportunity, it is best understood as additional administrative allocations tied to ongoing program responsibilities rather than a brand-new program buildout.
Key dates provided for the opportunity include a creation date of 2024-08-26 and an original closing date of 2024-09-25. Interested jurisdictions would typically need to prepare and submit the requested supplemental budget information and any supporting documentation by the deadline specified, following the instructions and cost categories permitted under the UIPL.
For questions or clarifications, the point of contact listed is Rahel Bizuayene at the U.S. Department of Labor, reachable by email at Bizuayene.rahel@dol.gov. This is the contact referenced for questions about the UIPL and, by extension, the administrative funding availability and related submission requirements.Apply for ETA UIPL 17 24 PUA
