Opportunity Information: Apply for ETA UIPL 17 24 PEUC
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 discretionary grant released by the U.S. Department of Labor's Employment and Training Administration (ETA). It is issued through an Unemployment Insurance Program Letter (UIPL) and is specifically focused on providing extra administrative funding tied to continued work on one of the major CARES Act-related unemployment programs, the Pandemic Emergency Unemployment Compensation (PEUC) program. In plain terms, this funding is not about paying unemployment benefits to individuals; it is meant to help states cover the operational and back-end administrative workload that continues even after the peak of the pandemic-era benefit activity has passed.
The core purpose of the funding is to support states as they manage ongoing administrative responsibilities connected to PEUC. The UIPL highlights several types of work that this supplemental money is meant to cover, including required reporting, proper data retention, and a range of audit, oversight, and accountability activities. It also emphasizes program integrity and financial cleanup tasks, such as detecting potential overpayments, establishing overpayment determinations where appropriate, pursuing recovery of overpaid funds, and completing financial reconciliation. These are the kinds of functions that can remain resource-intensive long after benefits were initially issued, especially given the scale of CARES Act unemployment programs and the heightened scrutiny around fraud prevention, improper payments, and documentation requirements.
Eligibility is limited to governmental unemployment insurance jurisdictions: states, the District of Columbia, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. The opportunity lists an expected 53 awards, which aligns with the number of jurisdictions typically participating in federal-state unemployment insurance administration. The assistance listing is associated with CFDA (Assistance Listing) number 17.225, and the funding instrument type is a grant under the broad activity area of employment, labor, and training.
From an administrative standpoint, the notice identifies a maximum award ceiling of $520,000. While the UIPL format generally means allocations may depend on established formulas, workload factors, or approved supplemental budget requests, the published ceiling indicates the upper limit for what a single award might reach under this particular opportunity. The opportunity number is "ETA UIPL 17 24 PEUC," and the original closing date is September 25, 2024, which serves as the key deadline for submitting the supplemental budget request materials required under the UIPL instructions.
