A. ATAA provides an alternative assistance program for older workers certified eligible to apply for Trade Adjustment Assistance. The assistance is in the form of a wage subsidy for those re-employed before the last day of the 26th week to bridge a gap between their wage at separation and their new wage. ATAA is effective for petitions filed on or after August 6, 2003. The request must be made at the time the petition is filed. Not all petitions will be eligible.
