Opportunity Information: Apply for ETA TEGL 09 24
The "Updated National Dislocated Worker Grant (NDWG) Program Guidance and Application Information" opportunity is a discretionary grant announcement from the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL), Employment and Training Administration (ETA). It updates how eligible applicants can request National Dislocated Worker Grants, which are designed to help communities respond quickly to significant job losses or disaster-related workforce needs. The guidance is issued under ETA Training and Employment Guidance Letter (TEGL) 09-24, and applicants are expected to use that TEGL as the primary reference for the full set of program rules, required documentation, and application procedures.
This opportunity covers two main NDWG types, and eligibility depends on which type is being requested. For Disaster Recovery DWGs, eligible applicants include (1) States as defined in the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) Section 3(56), (2) Outlying areas as defined in WIOA Section 3(45), and (3) Indian tribal governments as defined by the Stafford Act at 42 U.S.C. 5122(6). These grants generally support workforce-related recovery efforts after disasters, which can include activities that help impacted workers and communities stabilize and rebuild through employment and training-oriented services aligned with NDWG purposes.
For Employment Recovery DWGs, eligibility is broader and is aimed at responding to layoffs and other dislocations that harm a local or regional labor market. Eligible applicants include (1) a State or outlying area (as defined by WIOA Section 3), or a consortium of States; (2) a local Workforce Development Board (WDB) or a consortium of WDBs; (3) an entity eligible for funding through the Indian and Native American program under WIOA Section 166(c); (4) entities the Governor of the affected State or outlying area determines to be appropriate; and (5) entities that can demonstrate to the Secretary of Labor that they have the capability to respond effectively to the specific circumstances connected to the dislocation. In practice, this structure allows ETA to fund responses that match the scale and nature of the event, whether the need is concentrated in one locality or spans multiple jurisdictions.
Administratively, this is a grant (Funding Instrument Type: Grant) within the Employment, Labor and Training activity area, and it is listed under Assistance Listing/CFDA number 17.277. The opportunity is identified as ETA TEGL 09-24 and is categorized as discretionary, meaning awards are not automatic and must be justified through an application that meets the program and guidance requirements. The announcement indicates an award ceiling of up to $10,000,000, with an expectation of around 150 awards, reflecting that ETA anticipates multiple NDWG awards across different events and jurisdictions over the life of the guidance.
Timing and access details are also provided. The original closing date shown is 2026-12-31, which signals that this guidance remains available for a multi-year period and that applications may be submitted as qualifying events occur, subject to the conditions in TEGL 09-24. For applicants who cannot access the full announcement electronically, the notice provides a point of contact: Jenifer McEnery at DOL-ETA-DWG@dol.gov. The posting date (creation date) associated with this update is 2024-12-17, indicating the guidance is relatively recent and intended to standardize or clarify how NDWG requests should be made going forward.
Overall, the opportunity is best understood as an updated set of instructions and eligibility parameters for requesting NDWG funding, with separate tracks for disaster-driven recovery needs and employment/layoff-driven recovery needs. Anyone considering applying should treat TEGL 09-24 as the governing document for the detailed requirements, including what evidence is needed to show the qualifying disaster or dislocation, what services and expenditures are allowable, how budgets should be structured, and what performance and reporting expectations come with an award.Apply for ETA TEGL 09 24
