'Today's announcement provides much-needed funding to train and support workers whose employment was affected adversely by foreign trade,' said Secretary of Labor Marty Walsh. 'Helping these workers transition to new employment is critical to the nation's equitable recovery, and serves as a reminder to Congress of the urgent need to reauthorize Trade Adjustment Assistance for Workers Programto ensure more workers can receive the benefits, services and training they need to connect to good jobs.'
Congress did not reauthorize the TAA program by its June 30 deadline. On July 1, the program reverted to its previous version, referred to as Reversion 2021. Without reauthorization, much of the TAA funding will end upon the program termination on June 30, 2022.
