Opportunity Information: Apply for ETA UIPL 16 20 C7

The Supplemental Budget Request (SBR) Opportunity for Additional Administrative Costs under the Pandemic Unemployment Assistance (PUA) Program is a mandatory grant opportunity issued by the U.S. Department of Labor, Employment and Training Administration (ETA). It was released to give states a way to obtain extra administrative funding for running the PUA program beyond the administrative cost amounts previously described in Section 4.b.i. of UIPL No. 28-20, Change 4. In plain terms, this opportunity is focused on paying for the operational workload of administering PUA, not on paying benefits to claimants.

The total funding made available under this announcement is up to $61 million nationwide to cover allowable PUA administrative costs. The grant has an award ceiling of $1,400,000 per award, and ETA anticipated making about 59 awards, which aligns with participation across states and certain eligible jurisdictions. The opportunity is categorized as mandatory funding and uses a grant as the funding instrument, and it falls under the “Employment, Labor and Training” activity area. The associated CFDA/assistance listing number is 17.225, which is commonly tied to unemployment insurance-related federal assistance.

Eligibility is aimed at states (with the notice listing eligible applicants as “Others,” and directing readers to an additional eligibility clarification field in the full announcement). In practice, opportunities like this are generally intended for state workforce agencies and similar state-level entities responsible for administering unemployment programs, especially because the funding is specifically described as “for states” to support PUA administration.

The application timeline was straightforward and time-bound. The opportunity was created on October 24, 2022, and the original closing date for applications was January 6, 2023. Applications had to be received by 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time on the closing date, indicating this was a firm deadline for submission and receipt rather than merely a postmark deadline.

Overall, the grant opportunity functioned as a supplemental administrative funding mechanism: it did not introduce a new benefits program, but instead offered additional resources to help states cover the extra staffing, processing, adjudication, customer service, IT, program integrity, reporting, and other administrative demands associated with managing PUA during and after the pandemic period, to the extent permitted under the governing guidance referenced in UIPL No. 28-20, Change 4.
