Opportunity Information: Apply for ETA UIPL 17 24 2105
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 issued by the U.S. Department of Labor's Employment and Training Administration (ETA). It is published through an Unemployment Insurance Program Letter (UIPL) and is specifically aimed at helping state unemployment agencies cover additional, ongoing administrative workload tied to a particular CARES Act provision: Section 2105, which provided temporary full federal funding of the first week of compensable regular unemployment benefits for states that did not have a waiting week. In practical terms, the funding is meant to help states manage the back-end operational demands that continue well after benefit payments were made, especially the compliance, documentation, and cleanup work that comes with federally funded unemployment programs.
The purpose of this supplemental funding is narrowly focused on administrative costs that states are still incurring as they maintain and close out Section 2105-related responsibilities. The UIPL highlights several specific categories of allowable activities, including required reporting, data retention and records management, audit and oversight support, and the work needed to detect improper payments, establish overpayments, and pursue recovery of overpaid amounts. It also includes financial reconciliation efforts, which generally means ensuring that payment and accounting records match up, that federal and state financial systems are aligned, and that states can respond accurately to federal reviews, monitoring, or audit requests. This reflects the reality that even when a temporary benefit provision ends, states may still spend years dealing with audits, appeals, fraud investigations, overpayment establishment, and final accounting.
Eligibility is limited to states and certain U.S. territories that operate unemployment compensation programs, explicitly including the 50 states, the District of Columbia, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. The listing identifies the eligible applicant type as "Others," but the narrative makes clear the intended recipients are state-level UI agencies and their equivalents in the named jurisdictions. The funding is tied to the Unemployment Insurance CFDA number 17.225, and the funding instrument is a grant.
Administratively, the opportunity is identified by Funding Opportunity Number "ETA UIPL 17 24 2105" and was created on 2024-08-26, with an original closing date of 2024-09-25. The award ceiling is listed as $60,000, and the opportunity anticipates up to 53 awards, which aligns with the number of state and territorial UI jurisdictions commonly participating in federal UI administrative funding distributions. While the notice does not spell out an award floor or provide a formula in the provided text, the ceiling and expected award count suggest relatively small, targeted supplemental allocations intended to offset specific ongoing administrative burdens rather than fund broad program modernization or large-scale staffing expansions.
