The Work Opportunity Tax Credit (WOTC) Funding Allotments for Fiscal Year 2020 opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number: ETA WOTC TEGL 13 19 2020) is a mandatory grant announcement from the U.S. Department of Labor, Employment and Training Administration (ETA). It makes funding available through state allotments to support the administration and operation of WOTC activities during FY 2020. The WOTC program is tied to employment and workforce efforts, and this funding is intended to help jurisdictions carry out the required program functions that allow eligible employers to claim the federal tax credit for hiring individuals from certain targeted groups.
The announcement is issued in the form of a Training and Employment Guidance Letter (TEGL). In practical terms, that means it does more than simply advertise money; it also sets expectations for how grantees must apply, what they must do with the funds, and what rules they must follow while operating the program. The TEGL states that the FY 2020 allotments are available to conduct WOTC activities and describes the grant award application requirements that grantees must meet in order to receive their funding allocations. It also includes general administrative policies and procedural guidance established by ETA, along with requirements that appear in the WOTC Statement of Work, which serves as a key reference for what tasks and deliverables are expected under the grant.
This is categorized as a mandatory grant (Opportunity Category: Mandatory; Funding Instrument Type: Grant) under the Employment, Labor and Training activity area, with CFDA number 17.271. The anticipated number of awards is 53, reflecting broad distribution across states and similar jurisdictions. The listed award ceiling is $1,950,779, indicating the maximum amount expected for an individual award under this allotment structure.
The opportunity was created on March 19, 2020, with an original application closing date of April 20, 2020. Applications were required to be received by that deadline (not postmarked), with the notice specifying submission by Eastern Time. Eligibility is identified as "Others" with additional eligibility clarification referenced in the full announcement text, which typically corresponds to state workforce agencies or designated administering entities responsible for WOTC operations within their jurisdictions.
Overall, this TEGL functions as both the funding notice and the operating playbook for FY 2020 WOTC grant allotments, outlining how states or administering entities obtain their allocation and the administrative and procedural standards they must follow when delivering WOTC-related services and program administration.Apply for ETA WOTC TEGL 13 19 2020
