Opportunity Information: Apply for ETA UIPL 23 21 CH5
The Department of Labor's Employment and Training Administration (ETA) is offering an added chance for states to secure federal grant funding to improve equitable access to Unemployment Compensation (UC) and the broader Unemployment Insurance (UI) system. This opportunity is issued through an Unemployment Insurance Program Letter (UIPL) and is specifically aimed at states that did not apply under the earlier UIPL No. 23-21. The funding is authorized under Section 9032 of the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) and is intended to support practical changes that make it easier and fairer for people to reach, apply for, and successfully use UI benefits, especially groups that have historically faced barriers.
The grant is categorized as mandatory funding and will be awarded as a grant, with the program tied to CFDA number 17.225 under the Employment, Labor and Training activity area. While the eligibility field is labeled "Others (see text field entitled Additional Information on Eligibility for clarification)," the narrative makes clear the target applicants are state UI agencies that previously did not submit an application for the original UIPL 23-21 funding. In addition to allowing these states to access the amounts already designated for them in Attachment I of UIPL 23-21, ETA is also making available an extra, limited pool of funding: an additional allotment of up to $1 million for a limited number of states. That added allotment is not guaranteed to every applicant; it is limited and dependent on availability and ETA's award decisions.
A key part of this opportunity is how awards will be made. ETA plans to fund complete and responsive applications on a first come, first served basis, and only while funds remain available. That means timing and completeness matter: even if the official closing date has not yet arrived, ETA can stop accepting applications early if the available funding is fully committed. This structure makes it important for states to submit well-prepared applications as soon as possible rather than waiting until the deadline.
The opportunity was created on May 24, 2023, with an original closing date of July 24, 2023. Applications must be submitted electronically through the required submission process no later than 11:59 pm Eastern Time. The listed award ceiling is $7,840,000, and ETA anticipates up to 53 awards, reflecting a broad intent to fund many state-level efforts, though the final number and sizes of awards depend on remaining funds and the order in which acceptable applications are received.
For questions about this UIPL and the application process, ETA directs inquiries to Bryana Head at head.bryana.f@dol.gov. ETA also encourages interested parties to use the Grants.gov subscription feature to receive updates related to this specific UIPL, which is especially relevant given that awards may be made quickly and the agency may close the additional allotment early once funds are exhausted.Apply for ETA UIPL 23 21 CH5
