On January 28, 2009, the House of Representatives passed the American Recovery and
Reinvestment Act of 2009 (H.R. 1)—ARRA. The Senate is currently considering similar
economic stimulus legislation in its version of the ARRA (S. 336). The act focuses on promoting
economic recovery, assisting those most affected by the recession, improving economic efficiency
by “spurring technological advances in science and health,” investing in infrastructure, and
stabilizing state and local government budgets. As part of this act, funds would be provided to
several existing workforce development programs administered by the U.S. Department of Labor
(DOL), including programs authorized by the Workforce Investment Act (WIA).
This report provides a brief overview of the key provisions related to workforce development
programs administered by DOL that were included in the act under Title IX of H.R. 1 and Title
VIII of S. 336. It also provides estimates of state grants for programs for which these estimates
are relevant and for which data needed to produce the estimates are available.
The report will be updated as warranted by legislative action.

n January 28, 2009, the House of Representatives passed the American Recovery and
Reinvestment Act of 2009 (H.R. 1)—ARRA. The Senate is currently considering similar
O economic stimulus legislation in its version of the ARRA (S. 336). The act focuses on
promoting economic recovery, assisting those most affected by the recession, improving
economic efficiency by “spurring technological advances in science and health,” investing in
infrastructure, and stabilizing state and local government budgets. As part of this act, funds would
be provided to several existing workforce development programs administered by the U.S.
Department of Labor (DOL), including programs authorized by the Workforce Investment Act
(WIA).1
This report provides a brief overview of the key provisions related to workforce development
programs administered by DOL that were included in the House and Senate versions of the
ARRA. It also provides estimates of state grants for programs for which these estimates are
relevant and for which data needed to produce the estimates are available. The estimates are
shown in appendix tables that present state-by-state allocations for adult, youth, and dislocated
worker programs.2
ȱ ȱ
Under H.R. 1 as passed by the House of Representatives, an additional $5.0 billion would be
provided for existing workforce development and related programs administered by DOL; S. 336
would provide $3.93 billion for these same programs. Table 1 gives an overview of the specific
funding provided under the House and Senate versions of the ARRA. The remainder of this report
provides a more detailed discussion of the specific funding provisions.
ȱȱȱȱ
The ARRA would provide funding for a number of existing workforce development programs,
including the three state formula grant programs that provide funding for youth, adults, and
dislocated workers—Title I-B of the WIA. Other programs authorized by the WIA would also
receive funding: National Reserve (WIA Title I-D, Section 173), YouthBuild (WIA Title I-D,
Section 173A), and Pilot and Demonstration Programs (WIA Title I-D, Section 171). Additional
workforce development programs provided for in the ARRA include state unemployment
insurance and employment service operations, Title V of the Older Americans Act of 1965, and
DOL management. Provisions applicable to each of these programs are discussed below.

1 Relevant proposed statutory language is included in ARRA Title IX, Subtitle A, of H.R. 1 and Title VIII of S. 336.

The Workforce Investment Act of 1998 (P.L. 105-220) provides job training and related services
to unemployed and underemployed individuals. WIA programs are administered by the DOL,
primarily through its Employment and Training Administration (ETA). State and local WIA
training and employment activities are provided through a system of One-Stop Career Centers.
Authorization of appropriations under WIA expired in FY2003 but is annually extended through
appropriations acts.3

WIA authorizes numerous job training programs, including:
• state formula grants for Youth, Adult, and Dislocated Worker Employment and
Training Activities;
• Job Corps; and
• national programs, including the Native American Program, the Migrant and
Seasonal Farmworker Program, the Veterans’ Workforce Investment Program,
Responsible Reintegration for Young Offenders, the Prisoner Reentry Program,
Community-Based Job Training Grants, and YouthBuild.
In FY2008, programs and activities noted above were funded through the WIA at $5.2
billion, including $3.1 billion for state formula grants for adult, youth, and dislocated
worker training and employment activities.
This section discusses WIA Title I programs that would receive additional funding
through the ARRA. Where appropriate, appendix tables provide estimates of the amounts
that states would receive.
ȱȬȱ ȱȱȱȱȱ¢ȱȱȱ
The adult program provides training and related services to individuals ages 18 and older through
formula grants allocated to states, which in turn allocate funds to local entities. Any individual
may receive “core” services (e.g., job search assistance). To receive “intensive” services (e.g.,
individual career planning and job training), an individual must have received core services and
need intensive services to become employed or to obtain or retain employment that allows for
self-sufficiency. To receive training services (e.g., occupational skills training), an individual
must have received intensive services and need training services to become employed or to obtain
or retain employment that allows for self-sufficiency.
Both the House and Senate versions of the ARRA would provide an additional $500 million for
Title I-B grants to states for adult employment and training activities, which would be available
for obligation on the date of enactment of the ARRA. The Senate version, S. 336, would require
that priority for use of these funds be given to recipients of public assistance and other low-
income individuals for intensive services and training. H.R. 1, however, does not indicate
prioritization for use of funds under this section of the act.
Under both versions of the ARRA, funds would be allocated through the state grant formulas.
Estimated state grants were calculated using these formulas after reserving 0.25% of the total
appropriation for the outlying areas (as is done when making regular Title I-B allocations).
Appendix Table A-1 details the results of these calculations.

The youth program provides training and related services to low-income youth ages 14-21
through formula grants allocated to states, which, in turn, allocate funds to local entities.

Both the House and Senate versions of the ARRA would provide a total of $1.2 billion for grants
for youth activities, including summer employment, which would be available for obligation on
the date of enactment of the ARRA.4 Appendix Table A-2 provides estimated state grants under
this program. Each measure includes provisions affecting the expenditure of these funds:
• H.R. 1 and S. 336 specify that no portion of this additional funding would be
available for Youth Opportunity Grants.5
• H.R. 1 and S. 336 would change the age for an “eligible youth” in these programs
from 21 to 24.
• H.R. 1 would stipulate that the only performance measure to be used in assessing
the effectiveness of summer jobs for youth is attainment of basic skills and, as
appropriate, work readiness or occupational skills. S. 336 would require the use
of the same performance indicator but would apply it to all youth activities
supported with funds from this section.
ȱȬȱȱȬȱ ȱȱȱȱȱȱ¢ȱȱȱ

A majority of WIA dislocated worker funds are allocated by formula grants to states (which in
turn allocate funds to local entities) to provide training and related services to individuals who
have lost their jobs and are unlikely to return to those jobs or similar jobs in the same industry.
The remainder of the appropriation is reserved by DOL for a National Reserve account, which in
part provides for National Emergency Grants to states or local entities (as specified under Section
173).
Both the House and Senate versions of the ARRA would provide a total of $1.0 billion for
formula grants to states for employment and training activities for dislocated workers, which
would be available for obligation on the date of enactment of the ARRA. Appendix Table A-3
provides estimated state grants under this program.
H.R. 1 would provide a total of $500 million for the Dislocated Workers National Reserve for
grants to eligible entities serving areas of high unemployment or high poverty and experiencing
major economic dislocations. Additionally, H.R. 1 would direct the Secretary of Labor to ensure
that applicants for these funds demonstrate the manner in which supportive services (e.g. income
support, child care) necessary for participation in job training will be provided.
S. 336 would provide a total of $450 million for the Dislocated Workers National Reserve, $200
million of which would be for national emergency grants.6 Additionally, S. 336 would direct the
remaining $250 million for competitive grants to train workers for high growth and emerging

4 As specified in the statutory formulas for state allotments for WIA Youth Activities, a total allotment in excess of $1
billion would trigger a change in the allocation formula; however, the ARRA specifies the formula allocation is to
remain the same as if the total allocation were less than $1 billion.
5 Although the ARRA specifically excludes funding for Youth Opportunity Grants, the most recent appropriation for
these grants was FY2003.
6 Although it is not identified specifically in the legislation, the Senate Appropriations Committee Report indicates that
these funds are to be used for grants authorized under WIA Section 173(a)(1), which refers to workers affected by
major economic dislocations, such as plant closures or mass layoffs.

industry sectors (see details in section on “Title I-D Grants for High Growth and Emerging
Industry Sectors,” below).
ȱȬȱ ȱȱȱ
This competitive grant program funds projects that provide education and construction skills
training for disadvantaged youth. Since its inception in 1992, the program was administered by
the Department of Housing and Urban Development, but was moved to DOL by the YouthBuild
Transfer Act (P.L. 109-281), effective for FY2007. Participating youth work primarily through
mentorship and apprenticeship programs to rehabilitate and construct housing for homeless and
low-income families.
Both versions of the ARRA would provide additional funding for YouthBuild, which would be
available for obligation on the date of enactment of the ARRA. H.R. 1 would provide $50 million
for YouthBuild activities, but, unlike S. 336, does not specify any stipulations on expenditures. S.
336 would provide $100 million for YouthBuild grants. However, S. 336 would allow, in program
years 2008 and 2009, participation for individuals who have dropped out of high school and re-
enrolled in an alternative school.7
ȱȬȱ ȱȱ ȱ ȱȱȱ¢ȱȱ
Funds for this program would be distributed by a competitive grant process to provide worker
training and placement in high growth and emerging industry sectors. The House version of the
ARRA would provide a total of $750 million for these grants.
Of the total proposed allotment in H.R. 1, $500 million would be reserved for research, labor
exchange, and job training projects that prepare workers for careers in the following energy
efficiency and renewable energy industries:8
• energy-efficient building, construction, and retrofits industries;
• renewable electric power industry;
• energy-efficient and advanced drive train vehicle industry;
• biofuels industry;
• deconstruction and materials use industry;
• energy efficiency assessment industry serving the residential, commercial, or
industrial sectors; and

7 The YouthBuild program includes an education component and occupational skills training component for youth ages
16 through 24. At least three quarters of enrolled youth must be school dropouts and either low-income, in foster care
(or have “aged out” of foster care), an offender, disabled, children of incarcerated parents, or migrants. S. 336
authorizes the program to serve youth who have dropped out of school and “re-enrolled in an alternative school, if that
re-enrollment is part of a sequential service strategy.” The accompanying report to S. 336 (S.Rept. 111-3) does not
clarify whether these newly eligible youth could forgo participating in the educational component of the program
and/or dually enroll in both YouthBuild's educational component and a separate alternative school. The report does not
define the term “sequential service strategy.”
8 These industries are specified in WIA Section 171(e)(1)(B)(ii), as amended by the Green Jobs Act of 2007 (Title X of
P.L. 110-140).

• manufacturers that produce sustainable products using environmentally
sustainable processes and materials.
In H.R. 1, the remainder of $250 million would be allocated on the basis of priority for projects
preparing workers for careers in the health care industry.
The Senate version, S. 336, would require the Secretary of Labor, in awarding the $250 million
from the Dislocated Workers National Reserve, to give priority to projects that prepare workers
for careers in the energy efficiency and renewable energy industries listed above and for careers
in the health care sector.

Job Corps is a residential job training program first established in 1964 that provides services to
low-income individuals ages 16-24 primarily through contracts administered by DOL with
corporations and nonprofit organizations. Currently, there are 122 Job Corps centers in 48 states,
the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico. On February 8, 2007, DOL announced that three new
centers will open, including the first centers in each of the remaining two states, New Hampshire
and Wyoming.
The House version of the ARRA would provide a total of $300 million to the Job Corps program,
and the Senate version of the ARRA would provide $160 million for the Job Corps program. Both
allocations would be available for obligation on the date of enactment of the ARRA and would
remain available for obligation through June 30, 2010. While both the House and Senate
provisions would allow the Secretary of Labor to transfer up to 15% of the allocated funds for
operational needs of Job Corps Centers, H.R. 1 has additional stipulations:
• Funds provided in H.R. 1 would be available for construction, rehabilitation, and
acquisition of Job Corps Centers; in S. 336, funds may be used only for the
construction, rehabilitation, or repair of facilities.
• H.R. 1 would allow a partial exception to the requirement to close an account
after five years, in order to give priority to projects that can begin construction
within 120 days of enactment of the act.
• H.R. 1 would also give priority to activities that can start promptly and will have
the greatest impact on the energy efficiency of Job Corps facilities.
• H.R. 1 would require the Secretary of Labor to report to the Committee on
Appropriations in the House and Senate on actual obligations, expenditures, and
unobligated balances for each activity funded by this section. The initial report
would be due by September 30, 2009 and quarterly thereafter.
ȱȱȱȱȱȱȱ
In addition to adding funds to the job training programs in Title I of WIA, both versions of the
ARRA would provide additional funding for three related programs:
• H.R. 1 would allocate $500 million for state unemployment insurance and
employment services operations, 50% of which would be allocated for
reemployment services for unemployment insurance claimants. In addition, H.R.

1 would alter the allocation formula for funds under this provision. S. 336 would
allocate $400 million for these services and would require that $250 million be
allocated for reemployment services for unemployment insurance claimants.9
• Both H.R. 1 and S. 336 would allocate $120 million for the Community Service
Employment for Older Americans program, which would be allotted in
proportion to grantees’ PY2008 allocation within 30 days for the enactment of
this legislation.
• H.R. 1 would provide $80 million for DOL Departmental Management for the
enforcement of worker protection laws, oversight, and coordination activities
related to the infrastructure and unemployment insurance investments in the
ARRA. S. 336 would provide $3 million for the DOL Office of the Inspector
General to provide oversight and audit of programs, grants, and projects funded
under this act.

9 Local employment service (ES) offices are known by different names, such as Employment Service, Job Service,
One-Stop Career Center, and Workforce Development Center. These offices offer an array of services to job seekers
and employers, including career counseling, job search workshops, labor market information, job listings, applicant
screening, and referrals to job openings. States provide ES services through three tiers of service delivery: self-service,
facilitated self-help, and staff-assisted. As the names of the tiers imply, progressively more active staff involvement is
required as services range from internet job postings to career counseling. Funds for the ES are allocated to states by a
formula using civilian labor force and unemployment data. This report will not provide a state-by-state estimate of the
distribution of ES funds due to current limits on CRS modeling capacity for this program.

Source: CRS estimates based on analysis of FY2009 DOL data. Table prepared by CRS, January 28, 2009.
Notes: Funds were allocated through the WIA Youth Activities Grant formulas. Details may not add to totals
due to rounding. As noted in footnote 4, the statutory formulas for state allotments for WIA Youth Activities
stipulate that a total allotment in excess of $1 billion normally triggers a change in the allocation formula;
however, the ARRA specifies the formula allocation is to remain the same as if the total allocation were less than
$1 billion.
Notice: These are estimated grants only. These estimates are provided solely to assist in comparisons of the
relative impact of alternative formulas and funding levels in the legislative process. They are not intended to
predict specific amounts that states will receive.

Source: CRS estimates based on analysis of FY2009 DOL data. Table prepared by CRS, January 28, 2009.
Notes: The allocation formula for dislocated worker funding typically includes a set-aside for the National
Reserve account. However, the ARRA includes a separate provision for this National Reserve; thus the full $1
billion is allocated for state grants in Table A-3. Details may not add to totals due to rounding. The allocation
formula for Dislocated Worker grants uses a three-factor formula based on a state’s relative share of total
unemployed, excess unemployed, and long-term unemployed.
Notice: These are estimated grants only. These estimates are provided solely to assist in comparisons of the
relative impact of alternative formulas and funding levels in the legislative process. They are not intended to
predict specific amounts states will receive.
