In addition, all workers covered by a certification are eligible for reemployment services including job referrals, job clubs, and resume writing assistance.

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
