1 All s/fund Sources that Support, Train, and/or Place Kentucky's Workforce Workforce Development Cabinet Alien Labor Certification The Foreign Labor Certification program processes labor certification applications for employers seeking to bring foreign workers into the United States and grants certifications in cases where employers can demonstrate that there are not sufficient U.S. workers available, willing and qualified to perform the work at wages that meet or exceed the prevailing wage paid for the occupation in the area of intended employment. The Office of Employment and Training works with the U.S. Department of Labor and the Office of Foreign Labor Certification National Processing Center in Chicago to assist with the processing of temporary labor certifications to Kentucky employers in two program areas: H 2A Certification for Temporary Agricultural Workers H 2B Certification for Temporary Non Agricultural Workers $ $ 287,400 $ Place Trade Adjustment Act (BACA/B) The Trade Adjustment Act (TAA) is a grant restricted for purposes as specified in the Act. State Employment Security Agencies (SESAs) provide worker adjustment assistance to trade impacted workers who meet the qualifying criteria may receive job training, income support in the form of Trade Readjustment Allowances (TRA), job search allowances, relocation allowances, and a wage supplement in the form of RTAA (now ATAA) designed to assist individuals 50 years and older. In addition, all workers covered by a certification are eligible for reemployment services including job referrals, job clubs, and resume writing assistance. Benefits and services available under TAA have varied slightly for different sets of petition numbers due to Congressional changes in law in 2002, 2009, 2011, and $ $ 11,959,500 $ Train, Support, and Place Workers must be directly impacted by imports or by a shift in production of their firm to any country with a free trade agreement with the United States or by certain other shifts in production. In order to receive benefits and services, workers must file a petition as a group to initiate a Department of Labor (DOL) investigation to address the reasons for their layoff. Once the DOL finds that free trade has contributed notably to the layoff, the group is certified but the individual worker must still apply for benefits at a local Career Center. Funding for the TAA program is determined via formula by the DOL, taking into account the trend of workers covered by certifications in the state, the trend of workers participating in training, the number of workers estimated to be participating in training, and the estimated amount of funding needed to provide approved training to such workers. States may request reserve funds at any time if the state can demonstrate that at least 50 percent of TAA funds made available to that state in the current fiscal year and the two preceding fiscal years have been expended or that the state needs additional funds to meet unusual or unexpected events. The Alternative Trade Adjustment Assistance (ATAA) program The Alternative Trade Adjustment Assistance (ATAA) program assists older workers who have lost their jobs due to foreign trade. Those who do not want to go back to school can elect to take a job for less pay than they were making at the trade affected business and the ATAA program will make payments of 50 percent of the difference between pre layoff wages and their reemployment wages. $ $ 701,300 $ Support LRC Office of Budget Review 1 of 10
