Opportunity Information: Apply for ETA UIPL 16 20 CH7
The U.S. Department of Labor, Employment and Training Administration (ETA) announced a mandatory grant opportunity titled "Supplemental Budget Request (SBR) Opportunity for Additional Administrative Costs under the Pandemic Unemployment Assistance (PUA) Program." This opportunity is associated with Funding Opportunity Number "ETA UIPL 16 20 CH7" and falls under the employment, labor, and training activity area, with assistance listed under CFDA (now commonly referred to as Assistance Listing) 17.225. In plain terms, the program is designed to provide additional funding specifically to cover administrative costs tied to operating and managing the Pandemic Unemployment Assistance (PUA) program, rather than paying out PUA benefits themselves.
The grant uses a mandatory funding structure, meaning the funding is tied to established authority and program requirements rather than a discretionary, competitive grant model in the traditional sense. The instrument type is a grant, and the opportunity anticipates making around 59 awards. The announcement lists an award ceiling of $1,400,000, which indicates the maximum expected amount for a single award under this particular supplemental request framework. The exact amount an applicant could receive would depend on the applicant's documented needs and the parameters DOL/ETA set for allowable administrative expenses and budget justifications connected to PUA administration.
Eligibility is indicated as "Others," with the note that applicants should refer to the opportunity's "Additional Information on Eligibility" section for the specific eligible entity types. For ETA unemployment insurance-related funding, eligible applicants are often state workforce agencies or equivalent governmental entities responsible for unemployment insurance operations, but the notice itself signals that the definitive eligibility rules are contained in the full announcement. Because this is framed as a Supplemental Budget Request, it implies that eligible entities may be seeking additional administrative funds beyond prior allocations or awards to address increased workload, continued operational demands, program integrity activities, staffing, contractor support, technology, communications, appeals, adjudication, or other administrative functions required to properly administer PUA.
Key dates included in the notice show the opportunity was created on January 25, 2023, with an original closing date of February 24, 2023. Applications were required to be submitted electronically, and the submission deadline was no later than 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the closing date. Anyone preparing an application would need to ensure that the full package was submitted before that cutoff, because federal grant systems typically enforce strict deadline rules and late submissions are commonly disallowed unless the agency provides an explicit exception process.
For applicants who cannot access the full announcement electronically, the point of contact listed is Bryana F. Head, Grants Management Specialist, reachable at head.bryana.f@dol.gov. The notice specifically highlights this access issue, which is often included when the funding announcement contains attachments, detailed instructions, or technical requirements that may be difficult to retrieve through standard online posting systems. If an applicant needed the complete requirements, eligibility language, allowable cost guidance, budget narrative expectations, or submission instructions, the announcement directs them to contact the grants management specialist for assistance.Apply for ETA UIPL 16 20 CH7
