There is a 70% WIA expenditure requirement in order to apply for a NEG. Is there the same restriction / requirement for a TAA petition?
There is no requirement that a 70% WIA expenditure exist to access TAA reserve funds. Explanation: As outlined in TEGL 6-03, 75% of annual TAA funds are allocated according to a formula that is currently based on past TAA expenditures and the number of eligible workers served. The remaining 25% of annual TAA funds are held in reserve in the national office. The reserve funds are available only to states that have accrued expenditures [actual cash payments plus the cost of services or goods that have been received or are being provided (e.g., the cost of a semester of tuition that has not been paid but participants are in training)] of at least 50% of TAA funds provided each year.
