amount is up to $10,000, paid over up
to two years.
Under the 2011 Amendments, RTAA
does not require a separate group
certification and workers may receive
training while receiving this benefit, as
explained in TEGL No. 22–08 and its
Change 1.
srobinson on DSK4SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
I. STATE OPERATIONS
The TAAEA reinstates the State
Operations provisions explained in
TEGL No. 22–08, Section II, including
the alien verification requirements and
the requirement to implement control
measures. The TAAEA changes the
performance measures and reporting
requirements; however, those changes
do not go into effect until FY 2013. ETA
will issue further instructions to states
to allow ample time for programming
these changes before October 1, 2012.
J. HEALTH COVERAGE TAX CREDIT
(HCTC)
Subtitle B of the TAAEA retroactively
reinstates a number of HCTC
enhancements that were available to
workers under the 2009 Program, and
increases the credit rate from 65 percent
under the 2002 Program to 72.5 percent
reimbursement of health insurance costs
for eligible participants. This HCTC is
retroactive to February 13, 2011 for
workers who were eligible during that
time period, and payment for monthly
premiums going forward will apply to
coverage months beginning with the
month 30 days after enactment of the
2011 Amendments.
These changes apply to all eligible
workers, regardless of whether they are
being served under the 2002 Program,
the 2009 Program, or the 2011 Program,
including workers who choose to switch
from the 2002 Program to the 2011
Program and those who remain in the
2002 Program. For additional
information on HCTC provisions under
the 2009 Program, see UIPL No. 21–09
and https://www.irs.gov/individuals/
article/0,,id=187948,00.html.
Administration: The Internal
Revenue Service administers the HCTC,
which helps ‘‘eligible TAA recipients’’
and ‘‘eligible alternative TAA
recipients’’ and other eligible workers
and their families pay for their qualified
health insurance premiums. ‘‘Eligible
alternative TAA recipients’’ includes
ATAA recipients and RTAA recipients.
The TAAEA restores the ‘‘Special Rule’’
as described in UIPL No. 21–09 that
expands the definition of an ‘‘eligible
TAA recipient.’’ An eligible TAA
recipient continues to be a worker who
receives Trade Readjustment
Allowances (TRA) for any day of a
month (and the next subsequent month)
VerDate Mar<15>2010
17:58 May 29, 2012
Jkt 226001
or who would receive TRA but for the
fact that s/he has not exhausted UI
entitlement, and is potentially eligible
for HCTC for that month.
The restored special rule expands that
definition to also include: 1) a worker
who is in a break in approved training
that exceeds 30 days, and the break falls
within the period for receiving TRA
provided under the section 233 of the
Trade Act; or, 2) who is receiving UI for
any day of such month and would be
eligible to receive TRA (except that s/he
has not exhausted UI) for such month,
without regard to the enrollment in
training requirements.
In operating the 2011 Program, states
should apply the instructions in UIPL
No. 21–09 for identifying ‘‘eligible TAA
recipients.’’ In addition, the TAAEA
restores the continued qualification of
family members after certain events as
provided under the 2009 Program.
Finally, the TAAEA also restores
Consolidated Omnibus Budget
Reconciliation Act (COBRA) benefits for
TAA eligible workers provided under
the 2009 Program.
5. Action Requested. The operating
instructions contained in this TEGL are
issued to states as guidance provided by
the Department, through ETA, in its role
as the principal of the TAA program.
The states, as agents of the Secretary,
may not vary from the operating
instructions in this document without
prior approval from ETA. The operating
instructions in this document constitute
the controlling guidance for the states in
implementing and administering the
2011 Amendments. These operating
instructions only address changes to the
TAA program made by the 2011
Amendments.
6. Financial Reporting. ETA will
provide additional guidance to states
about the financial reporting
requirements under the TAAEA,
including clarifications for the ETA
’9130.
7. Sunset Provisions. The 2011
Amendments sunset on December 31,
2013, after which date the 2011
Amendments will no longer apply to the
Trade Act and the provisions of the
2002 Amendments, with three
provisions of the 2011 Amendments
listed below, will apply. The ‘‘reverted
TAA program’’ established under the
sunset provisions of the TAAEA, is
authorized to be in effect from January
1, 2014, through December 31, 2014.
Administration: The reverted TAA
program retains the following
provisions of the 2011 Amendments:
• Retains the elimination of training
waivers based on recall, marketable
skills, and requirement.
PO 00000
Frm 00065
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
• Retains the elimination of the
additional 26 weeks of TRA for workers
participating in prerequisite or remedial
training.
• Retains the authority for the
Secretary to provide up to 13 weeks of
additional TRA, (Completion TRA) to
qualifying workers.
ETA will issue instructions to
implement the reverted TAA program,
as necessary.
