Enacted in 2014, the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) is the primary authorization for this appropriation account.
The Act is intended to provide job seekers and workers with the labor market information, job search assistance, and training
they need to get and keep good jobs, and to provide employers with skilled workers. Funds appropriated for this account generally
are available on a July to June program year basis, and include substantial advance appropriation amounts. This account includes:
Adult employment and training activities.—Grants to provide financial assistance to States and territories to design and operate training and employment assistance
programs for adults, including low-income individuals and public assistance recipients.
Youth activities.—Grants to support a wide range of activities and services to prepare low-income youth for academic and employment success,
including summer and year-round jobs. The program links academic and occupational learning with youth development activities.
Dislocated worker employment and training activities.—Grants to provide reemployment services and retraining assistance to individuals dislocated from their employment.
Reintegration of Ex-Offenders.—Supports activities authorized under section 169 of the WIOA to help individuals exiting prison make a successful transition
to community life and long-term employment through mentoring, job training, and other services. The Department also provides
competitive grants for a range of young ex-offenders and school dropouts, particularly those in high-poverty, high-crime areas
with similar services. The Administration intends to devote funds to test and replicate evidence-based strategies for serving
ex-offenders. The Department of Labor will continue to coordinate closely with the Department of Justice and other relevant
Agencies in carrying out the Ex-Offender program.
Apprenticeship.—Activities that support and expand apprenticeship programs at the state and local levels through a range of activities,
such as state-specific outreach strategies, partnerships, economic development strategies, and expanded access to apprenticeship
opportunities for under-represented populations through pre-apprenticeships and career pathways.
YouthBuild.—Grants that impart education and skills to program participants by providing them with academic training and occupational
skills training, providing a clear path into a chosen career field.

The Budget proposes authorizing legislation to double the American Competitiveness and Workforce Improvement Act (ACWIA) fee
for the H-1B visa program in order to help train American workers and close the skills gap. The proposal would increase the
AWCIA fee to $3,000 per worker for large employers and $1,500 per worker for small employers. The increased revenue would
provide additional funding for DOL job training grants to support apprenticeship. Under the proposal, the allocations for
DOL job training grants (50 percent); DOL foreign labor certifications (5 percent); National Science Foundation (NSF) Innovative
Technology Experiences for Students and Teachers program (10 percent); and DHS processing costs (5 percent) would remain the
same. The NSF allocation for STEM scholarships would decrease from 30 percent to 15 percent, which would maintain absolute
funding levels under current estimates. The proposal would initiate a new 15 percent allocation for the Department of Education's
Career and Technical Education formula grant.
The Budget proposes to transfer administrative management of the Ticket to Work program from the Social Security Administration
to the Department of Labor. In the process, the Administration proposes to simplify program rules, make funding allotments
more performance-based, and integrate the program more fully into the broader workforce system. The Administration seeks to
increase the number of disability beneficiaries who participate in the program, succeed in employment, and achieve economic
mobility. This proposal aims to improve the experience of the individual program participants, reduce program fragmentation
and duplication, and financially reward states that perform well.

Established in 1964 as part of the Economic Opportunity Act and authorized by the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act
of 2014 (P.L. 113–128, Title 1, Subtitle C, section 141), Job Corps is the nation's largest federally-funded, primarily residential,
training program for at-risk youth. Job Corps provides economically disadvantaged youth with academic, career technical and
marketable skills to enter the workforce, enroll in post-secondary education, or enlist in the military. Job Corps participants
must be economically disadvantaged youth, between the ages of 16–24, and meet one or more of the following criteria: basic
skills deficient; a school dropout; homeless, a runaway, or a foster child; a parent; or in need of additional education,
vocational training, or intensive counseling and related assistance in order to participate successfully in regular schoolwork
or to secure and hold employment.
Large and small businesses, nonprofit organizations, Native American organizations and Alaskan Native corporations manage
and operate the majority of the Job Corps centers through contractual agreements with the Department of Labor, while the remaining
centers are operated through an interagency agreement with the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
In accordance with the Administration's vision of a smaller, more effective Job Corps program, the FY 2021 Budget proposes
to refocus the resources of Job Corps on centers that have had more success in training and preparing youth for future careers.
The Budget seeds new program models, including those that empower states to play a leading role in operating centers. The
Budget also signals the Administration's intent to close chronically low performing contractor-operated centers and centers
with severely dilapidated facilities. The Budget prioritizes enrollment for students age 20 and older, for whom the program
has been proven to be more effective.

Community Service Employment for Older Americans (CSEOA), authorized by Title V of the Older Americans Act as amended in 2006
(P.L. 109–365), is a federally-sponsored community service employment and training program for unemployed low-income individuals,
ages 55 and older. The program is proposed for elimination because it fails to meet its major statutory goals of fostering
economic self-sufficiency and moving low-income seniors into unsubsidized employment.

Unemployment compensation.—State administration amounts provide administrative grants to State agencies that pay unemployment compensation to eligible
workers and collect State unemployment taxes from employers. These agencies also pay unemployment benefits to former Federal
personnel and ex-servicemembers as well as trade readjustment allowances to eligible individuals. State administration amounts
also provide administrative grants to State agencies to improve the integrity and financial stability of the unemployment
compensation program through a comprehensive performance management system, UI Performs. The purpose is to effect continuous
improvement in State performance and implement activities designed to reduce errors and prevent fraud, waste, and abuse in
the payment of unemployment compensation benefits and the collection of unemployment taxes. National activities relating to
the Federal-State unemployment insurance programs are conducted through contracts or agreements with the State agencies or
non-State entities. A workload contingency reserve is included in State administration to meet increases in the costs of administering
the program resulting from increases in the number of unemployment claims filed and paid. The appropriation automatically
provides additional funds whenever unemployment claim workloads increase above levels specified in the appropriations language.

Employment service.—The public employment service is a nationwide system providing no-fee employment services to job-seekers and employers.
State employment service activities are financed by grants provided by formula to States. Funding allotments are provided
annually on a Program Year basis beginning July 1 and ending June 30 of the following year.
Employment service activities serving national needs are conducted through specific reimbursable agreements between the States
and the Federal Government under the Wagner-Peyser Act, as amended, and other legislation. States also receive funding under
this activity for administration of the Work Opportunity Tax Credit, as well as for amortization payments for those States
that had independent retirement plans prior to 1980 in their State employment service agencies.

Foreign Labor Certification.—This activity provides for the administration and operation of the foreign labor certification programs within the Employment
and Training Administration. Under these programs, U.S. employers that can demonstrate a shortage of qualified, available
U.S. workers and no adverse impact on similarly situated U.S. workers may seek the Secretary of Labor's certification as a
first step in the multi-agency process required to hire a foreign worker to fill critical permanent or temporary vacancies.
Major programs include the permanent, H-2A temporary agricultural, H-2B temporary non-agricultural, CW-1 temporary, and H-1B
temporary highly skilled worker visas. The account is divided into Federal and State activities.
Federal Administration.—Federal Administration provides leadership, policy, budget, program operations including staffing (Federal and contractors),
information technology, three national processing center facilities, and operational direction to Federal activities supporting
the effective and efficient administration of foreign labor certification programs.
State grants.—State grants provides grants to State workforce agencies in 50 States and 5 U.S. territories funding employment-related
activities required for the administration of Federal foreign labor certification programs. Activities include State Workforce
Agency posting and circulation of job orders and other assistance to employers in the recruitment of U.S. workers, processing
of employer requests for prevailing wage determinations for the permanent and temporary programs, State safety inspection
of housing provided by employers to workers, and State development of prevailing wage and prevailing practice surveys used
to set wages and standards in a defined geographic area.
American Job Centers.—These funds are used to support the joint Federal-State efforts to improve the comprehensive American Job Center system
authorized under the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act. This system provides workers and employers with quick and easy
access to a wide array of enhanced career development and labor market information services. A portion of these funds supports
a joint initiative between the Employment and Training Administration and the Office of Disability Employment Policy to improve
the accessibility and accountability of the public workforce development system for individuals with disabilities.
National Agricultural Workers Survey fee.—The Department of Labor conducts the National Agricultural Workers Survey (NAWS), which collects information annually about
the demographic, employment, and health characteristics of the U.S. crop labor force. The information is obtained directly
from farm workers through face-to-face interviews.

The Budget proposes authorizing legislation to establish and retain fees to cover the costs of operating the foreign labor
certification programs, which ensure that employers proposing to bring in immigrant workers have verified that American workers
cannot meet their needs and that immigrant workers are being compensated appropriately and not disadvantaging American workers.
The ability to charge fees for these programs would give the Department of Labor (DOL) a more reliable, workload-based source
of funding for this function, similar to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). The proposal would ultimately eliminate
the need for discretionary appropriations. The proposal includes the following: 1) charge employer fees for its prevailing
wage determinations; 2) charge employer fees for its permanent labor certification program; 3) charge employer fees for H-2B
non-agricultural workers; 4) retain and adjust the H-2A agricultural worker application fees currently deposited into the
General Fund; and 5) charge employer fees for CW-1 workers. The fee levels, including possible expedited processing fees,
would be set via regulation to ensure that the amounts are subject to review. Given DOL OIG's important role in investigating
fraud and abuse, the proposal also includes a mechanism to provide funding for OIG's work to oversee foreign labor certification
programs.
In addition, the Budget proposes authorizing legislation to double the American Competitiveness and Workforce Improvement
Act (ACWIA) fee for the H-1B visa program in order to help train American workers and close the skills gap. The proposal would
increase the ACWIA fee to $3,000 per worker for large employers and $1,500 per worker for small employers. The increased revenue
would provide additional funding for DOL job training grants to support apprenticeship and DOL processing of foreign labor
certifications. Under the proposal, the allocations for DOL job training grants (50 percent); DOL foreign labor certifications
(5 percent); National Science Foundation (NSF) Innovative Technology Experiences for Students and Teachers program (10 percent);
and DHS processing costs (5 percent) would remain the same. The NSF allocation for STEM scholarships would decrease from 30
percent to 15 percent, which would maintain absolute funding levels under current estimates. The proposal would initiate a
new 15 percent allocation for the Department of Education's Career and Technical Education formula grant.

This account provides for general fund financing of extended unemployment benefit programs under certain statutes. It is also
the mechanism used to make general fund reimbursements for some or all of the benefits and administrative costs incurred for
temporary Federal programs. These funds are transferred from the Payments to the Unemployment Trust Fund account to a receipt
account in the Unemployment Trust Fund (UTF) so that resources may be transferred to the Employment Security Administration
Account in the UTF for administrative costs or to the Extended Unemployment Compensation Account in the UTF for benefit costs.

The Middle Class Tax Relief and Job Creation Act of 2012 codified and expanded the definition of Short Time Compensation (STC),
a layoff aversion strategy that enables workers to remain employed and employers to retain their trained staff during times
of reduced business activity. Under the STC program, workers receive a percentage of unemployment benefits based upon the
percentage of reduction in their hours of work. As an incentive for states to enact state STC programs and promote the use
of STC, the Act provided for 100 percent reimbursement of STC benefit costs paid under state law for up to 156 weeks, or three
years. Grant funding was also available to states whose permanent STC laws meet the new Federal definition.

This account provides mandatory general revenue funding for a temporary program established under the American Recovery and
Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Public Law 111–5) and subsequently extended. This program paid a supplement of $25 on every week
of unemployment compensation. It was last extended in Public Law 111–157 and paid benefits through December 7, 2010, with
a phaseout period. As a result of adjudications, benefits continue to be paid but are minimal.
Advances to the unemployment trust fund and other funds
For repayable advances to the Unemployment Trust Fund as authorized by sections 905(d) and 1203 of the Social Security Act,
and to the Black Lung Disability Trust Fund as authorized by section 9501(c)(1) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986; and
for nonrepayable advances to the revolving fund established by section 901(e) of the Social Security Act, to the Unemployment
Trust Fund as authorized by 5 U.S.C. 8509, and to the "Federal Unemployment Benefits and Allowances" account, such sums as
may be necessary, which shall be available for obligation through September 30, 2022.
(Department of Labor Appropriations Act, 2020.)
This appropriation makes available funding for repayable advances (loans) to two accounts in the Unemployment Trust Fund (UTF):
the Extended Unemployment Compensation Account (EUCA) which pays the Federal share of extended unemployment benefits, and
the Federal Unemployment Account (FUA) which makes loans to States to fund unemployment benefits. In addition, the account
has provided repayable advances to the Black Lung Disability Trust Fund (BLDTF) when its balances proved insufficient to make
payments from that account. The BLDTF now has authority to borrow directly from the Treasury under the trust fund debt restructuring
provisions of Public Law 110–343. Repayable advances are shown as borrowing authority within the UTF or the BLDTF, and they
do not appear as budget authority or outlays in the Advances to the Unemployment Trust Fund and Other Funds account.
This appropriation also makes available funding as needed for nonrepayable advances to the Federal Employees Compensation
Account (FECA) to pay the costs of unemployment compensation for former Federal employees and ex-servicemembers, and to the
Federal Unemployment Benefits and Allowances (FUBA) account to pay the costs of benefits and services under the Trade Adjustment
Assistance (TAA) for Workers program. These advances are shown as budget authority and outlays in the Advances account. The
2014 appropriations language included new authority for nonrepayable advances to the revolving fund for the Employment Security
Administration Account (ESAA) in the UTF. In turn, this revolving fund may provide repayable, interest-bearing advances to
the ESAA if it runs short of funds, and the borrowing authority will enable the ESAA to cover its obligations despite seasonal
variations in the account's receipts.
The Department estimates that no advances will be necessary in 2020 and 2021. Detail on the nonrepayable advances is provided
above; detail on the repayable advances is shown separately in the UTF or the BLDTF.
To address the potential need for significant and somewhat unpredictable advances to various accounts, the Congress appropriates
such sums as necessary for advances to all of the potential recipient accounts. The fiscal year 2021 request continues this
authority.
Program administration
For expenses of administering employment and training programs, $121,307,000, together with not to exceed $50,293,000 which may be expended from the Employment Security Administration Account in the Unemployment Trust Fund.

Advances to the Employment Security Administration Account of the Unemployment Trust Fund
This account is a revolving fund that is available to make advances to the Employment Security Administration Account (ESAA)
in the Unemployment Trust Fund under the provisions of section 901(e) of the Social Security Act. These repayable, interest-bearing
advances permit financing of the Federal and State administrative costs of employment security programs when the balance in
ESAA is insufficient. The borrowing authority also enables ESAA to cover its obligations despite seasonal variations in the
account's receipts.

The financial transactions of the Federal-State and railroad unemployment insurance systems are made through the Unemployment
Trust Fund (UTF). The UTF has two accounts for the railroad unemployment insurance system but for the Federal-State unemployment
insurance system there are 57 separate accounts: one for each of the 50 states, three jurisdictions (District of Columbia,
Puerto Rico, Virgin Islands) and four federal accounts. The state and jurisdiction accounts receive funds from a state unemployment
insurance payroll tax which is used to pay benefits. The Federal Unemployment Tax Act (FUTA) payroll tax provides funds for
two of the Federal accounts — the Employment Security Administration Account (ESAA) and the Extended Unemployment Compensation
Account (EUCA) — while the remaining two, the Federal Unemployment Account (FUA) and the Federal Employee Compensation Account
(FECA), are revolving accounts.
Except for FECA balances, funds on deposit in the UTF accounts are invested in Government securities until needed for payment
of benefits or administrative expenses. The FUTA payroll tax is deposited in the ESAA which retains 80 percent of the deposit
and pays the costs of Federal and State administration of the unemployment insurance system, veterans' employment services,
surveys of wages and employment, foreign labor certifications and about 97 percent of the costs of the Employment Service.
The other 20 percent of FUTA is transferred to the EUCA which pays for certain extended benefit (EB) payments. During periods
of high State unemployment, there is a stand-by program of EB, financed one-half by State unemployment taxes and one-half
by the FUTA payroll tax.
The UTF also provides repayable advances (loans) from the FUA to States and jurisdictions when the balances in their individual
accounts are insufficient to pay benefits. Federal accounts in the UTF may receive repayable and nonrepayable advances from
the general fund when they have insufficient balances to make advances to States, pay the Federal share of extended unemployment
benefits, or pay for State and Federal administrative costs.
The Federal Employees Compensation Account (FECA) in the UTF provides funds to States for unemployment compensation benefits
paid to eligible former Federal civilian personnel, Postal Service employees, and ex-servicemembers. In turn, the various
Federal agencies reimburse the FECA for benefits paid to their former employees. The FECA is not funded out of Federal unemployment
taxes. Any additional resources necessary to assure that the FECA can make the required payments to States are provided from
the Advances to the Unemployment Trust Fund and Other Funds appropriation.
Both the benefit payments and administrative expenses of the separate unemployment insurance program for railroad employees
are paid from the UTF, and receipts from a tax on railroad payrolls are deposited into the program's accounts in the UTF to
meet expenses.

Minimum Solvency Standard.—Since the end of the most recent recession, many states continue to struggle to maintain adequate Unemployment Insurance
(UI) Trust Fund balances. The Budget includes a proposal to add a minimum solvency standard in the UI program to help address
the challenge states face in maintaining sufficient balances in their Unemployment Trust Fund accounts. This proposal would
strengthen states' incentive to adequately fund their UI systems by making states that fail to maintain an Average High-Cost
Multiple (AHCM) of 0.5 for two consecutive January firsts subject to the same FUTA tax credit reductions applied to states
which go below a zero trust fund balance.
UI Program Integrity Package.—The Budget includes a package of program integrity proposals similar to those included in the proposed Unemployment Compensation
Program Integrity Act, which the Department previously sent to Congress in response to the UI program's three consecutive
years of high improper payment rates. Specifically, the package includes the following proposals:
Require states to use SIDES.—This proposal will require state UI agencies to use the State Information Data Exchange System (SIDES) to exchange information
with employers concerning reasons for a claimant's separation from employment.
Require states to cross-match against the NDNH.—This proposal will require state UI agencies to use the National Directory for New Hires in their claims to better identify
individuals continuing to claim unemployment compensation after returning to work, one of the leading root causes of UI improper
payments.
Allow the Secretary of Labor to establish UI corrective actions.—This proposal will allow the Secretary of Labor to require states to implement corrective action measures for poor state
performance in the UI program, helping to reduce improper payments in states with the highest improper payment rates. Currently,
the Secretary has very limited options to require state UI agencies to take actions to respond to poor performance and high
improper payment rates.
Require states to cross-match with SSA's prisoner database.—Under current law, state UI agencies' use of cross-matches is permissible and the Social Security Administration's (SSA)
Prisoner Update Processing System (PUPS) is currently only used by some states for UI verification. Requiring states to cross-match
claims against the PUPS or other repositories of prisoner information will help identify those individuals ineligible for
benefits due to incarceration and reduce improper payments.
Allow states to retain 5 percent of UI overpayments for program integrity use.—This proposal will allow states to retain 5 percent of overpayment recoveries to fund program integrity activities in each
state's UI program. This provides an incentive to states to increase detection and recovery of improper payments and provides
necessary resources to carry out staff-intensive work to validate cross-match hits as required by law.
Require states to use penalty and interest collections solely for UI administration.—This proposal will require states to deposit all penalty and interest payments collected through the UI program into the
state's Unemployment Trust Fund account and require the funds be used for improving state administration of the UI program
and reemployment services for UI claimants. States with high improper payment rates would be required to use a portion of
the funds for program integrity activities. Currently, states have discretion to use these funds for non-UI purposes.
Require states to implement the Integrated Data Hub.—This proposal would require states to implement the Integrated Data Hub developed by the UI Integrity Center of Excellence
to gain access to a fraud analytics database, sources of incarceration and mortality records, and a front-end identity verification
tool.
Offset Overlapping UI and Disability Insurance Benefits.—The Budget includes a proposal to reduce an individual's entitlement to a Disability Insurance benefit in any month by the
amount the individual receives in unemployment compensation.
Paid Parental Leave.—The Budget includes a proposal to establish a Federal-state paid parental leave benefit program within the UI program that
would begin in 2023. The program will provide six weeks of benefits for mothers, fathers, and adoptive parents. The benefit
is provided to help families recover from childbirth and to bond with their new children.

The Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (PBGC) is a Federal corporation established under the Employee Retirement Income
Security Act of 1974, as amended. It guarantees payment of basic pension benefits earned by over 35,000,000 of America's workers
and retirees participating in more than 25,000 private-sector defined benefit pension plans. The Single-Employer Program
protects about 24,700,000 workers and retirees in about 24,000 pension plans. The Multiemployer Program protects about 10,800,000
workers and retirees in about 1,400 pension plans. The Corporation receives no funds from general tax revenues. Operations
are financed by insurance premiums set by Congress and paid by sponsors of defined benefit plans, investment income, assets
from pension plans trusteed by PBGC, and recoveries from the companies formerly responsible for the plans. PBGC is requesting
$465,289,000 in spending authority for administrative purposes in 2021. The request includes spending authority of $5,000,000
for the Pension Insurance Modeling System (PIMS) transformation and budget forecasting tool; $2,000,000 for eBusiness Suite
upgrades; $5,061,000 for mission critical and mandatory personnel compensation and benefit costs; and an additional $370,000
for the Office of the Inspector General's financial statement audit, cybersecurity posture, and Council of the Inspectors
General on Integrity and Efficiency annual fee. This request proposes language in the General Provisions of the President's
Budget to provide reception and representation authority up to $5,000.
Plan Preservation Efforts.—PBGC works to preserve plans and keep pension promises in the hands of the employers who make them. When companies undertake
major transactions that might threaten their ability to pay pensions, PBGC negotiates protections for their pension plans.
Last year, PBGC worked with dozens of companies, both in bankruptcy and otherwise, to preserve their plans that were at risk.
In 2019, PBGC:
—Paid $160,000,000 in financial assistance to 89 insolvent multiemployer plans, including four plans that were closed out
by annuity purchases; and
—Performed audits of eight multiemployer plans covering more than 10,000 people to evaluate the timeliness and accuracy of
benefit payments to all participants, compliance with laws and regulations, and the effectiveness and efficiency in management
of the remaining assets in terminated and insolvent plans.
Stepping in to Insure Pensions When Plans Fail.—When plans do fail, PBGC steps in to ensure that basic benefits continue to be paid. Over the years, PBGC has become responsible
for almost 1,500,000 people in more than 4,900 failed plans. In 2019, PBGC:
—Paid $6,020,000,000 in benefits to 932,000 retirees in single-employer plans; and
— Performed standard termination audits of single-employer plans that resulted in additional payments of $5,100,000 to 993
people.
Single-employer benefit payments.— Through its Single-Employer Program, PBGC is directly responsible for the benefits of about 1,500,000 current and future
retirees in trusteed pension plans. The Single-Employer Program covers defined benefit pension plans that generally are sponsored
by a single employer. When an underfunded single-employer plan terminates, PBGC steps in to pay participants' benefits up
to legal limits set by law. This typically happens when the employer sponsoring an underfunded plan goes bankrupt, ceases
operation, or can no longer afford to keep the plan going. PBGC takes over the plan's assets, administration, and payment
of benefits up to the legal limits. In some instances, plans can choose to voluntarily terminate by filing a standard termination
if the plan has enough money to pay all benefits owed to participants. In FY 2019, PBGC:
- Took responsibility for 51 single-employer plans that provide the pension benefits to more than 103,000 current and future
retirees;
- Oversaw the seamless transition of more than 15,000 retirees to direct payments from PBGC.
Multiemployer financial assistance.—The Multiemployer Program covers about 10,800,000 participants in about 1,400 insured plans. A multiemployer plan is a pension
plan sponsored by two or more unrelated employers under collective bargaining agreements with one or more unions. Multiemployer
plans cover most unionized workers in the trucking, retail food, construction, mining, garment, and other industries. If
a PBGC-insured multiemployer plan is unable to pay guaranteed benefits when due, PBGC provides insolvent multiemployer plans
with financial assistance, in the statutorily required form of loans, sufficient to pay PBGC guaranteed benefits and reasonable
administrative expenses.
Investment management fees.—PBGC contracts with professional financial services corporations to manage Trust Fund assets in accordance with an investment
strategy approved by PBGC's Board of Directors. Investment management fees are driven by the amount of assets under management.
They are a direct, programmatic expense required to maintain the Trust Fund which supports single-employer benefit payments.
Consolidated Administrative Budget.—PBGC's administrative budget comprises all expenditures and operations that support:
—Benefit payments to pension plan participants;
—Financial assistance to distressed multiemployer pension plans; and
—Stewardship and accountability.
These operations include premium collections, pre-trusteeship work, efforts to preserve pension plans, recovery of assets
from former plan sponsors, and pension insurance program protection activities. This area also covers the expenditures that
support activities related to trusteeship; plan asset management (excluding investment management fees) and trust accounting;
as well as benefit payments and administration services. Finally, this area includes the administrative functions covering
procurement, financial management, human resources, facilities management, communications, legal support, and information
technology infrastructure. These funds support the operations of the Participant and Plan Sponsor Advocate. They also support
the required functions and efforts of the Office of the Inspector General, including training and participation in the Council
of the Inspectors General on Integrity and Efficiency (CIGIE) activities.

The Budget proposes to reform multiemployer premiums and improve the solvency of the program by creating a variable-rate premium
(VRP) and an exit premium that together would raise approximately $26,000,000,000 over the budget window. A multiemployer
VRP would require plans to pay additional premiums based on their level of underfunding, up to a cap, as is done in the Single-Employer
Program. An exit premium, equal to ten times the variable-rate premium cap, would be assessed on employers that withdraw from
a multiemployer plan to compensate the Multiemployer Program for the additional risk imposed on it when employers exit and
cease making plan contributions. Employers that withdraw from a multiemployer plan owe withdrawal liability to the plan for
the employer's share of the plan's unfunded liabilities, but plans are often unable to collect the full amount of these liabilities.
PBGC would have limited authority to design waivers for some or all of the VRP assessed to terminated plans or ongoing plans
that are in critical status, if there is a substantial risk that the payment of premiums will accelerate plan insolvency and
financial assistance to the plan. Aggregate waivers for a year would be limited to 20 percent of anticipated total multiemployer
variable-rate premiums for all plans. The multiemployer premiums proposed in the Budget are expected to be sufficient to fund
the Multiemployer Program for the next 20 years.
The Budget also calls for the repeal of provisions accelerating fiscal year 2026 premiums into fiscal year 2025 and repeals
the requirement for certain multiemployer premium revenues to be held in non-interest-bearing investments. The need for additional
reforms of the multiemployer system is urgent, and the Administration stands ready to work with Congress on a long-term solution
that appropriately balances the interests of all those affected by the multiemployer pension system—retirees, workers, employers,
unions, and taxpayers. The solution should simultaneously accomplish several goals: protect retirees and prevent the collapse
of the multiemployer pension system, limit the burden on taxpayers, save the federal backstop, and prevent a future crisis.
In contrast, the financial condition of the Single-Employer Program has improved in recent years, reflecting numerous premium
increases enacted by Congress, a strong economy, and very few large claims. In fiscal year 2018, the program emerged from
a deficit position and continued to improve in fiscal year 2019, although significant potential risk remains. In light of
these developments, The Budget proposes to rebalance premiums in this program by pausing the indexation of single-employer
premium rates for three years and increasing the cap on the VRP, currently $561 in 2020, to $900 in 2021 and indexed thereafter.
This targets higher premiums on plans that present a greater exposure to PBGC and strengthens the incentive to improve plan
funding. On net, combined with the premium changes in the recently enacted fiscal year 2020 appropriations legislation (P.L.
116–94, Further Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2020), this proposal will be approximately budget neutral.

Federal Employees' Compensation Act benefits.—The Federal Employees' Compensation Act (FECA) program provides monetary and medical benefits to Federal workers who sustain
work-related injury or disease. Not all benefits are paid by the program, since the first 45 days of disability are usually
covered by keeping injured workers in pay status with their employing agencies (the continuation-of-pay period). A workers'
compensation case is created following the receipt of an injury report or claim for occupational disease. In 2021 the FECA
program projects to create 100,000 cases for Federal workers or their survivors; 15,900 Federal employees are projected to
submit initial wage-loss claims; and 35,000 are projected to receive long-term wage replacement benefits for job-related injuries,
diseases, or deaths. Most of the costs of this account are charged back to the beneficiaries' employing agencies.

from the Special Workers' Compensation Fund, which is financed by private employers, and is assessed at the beginning of each
calendar year for their proportionate share of these payments.

The 2021 Budget incorporates longstanding Government Accountability Office, Congressional Budget Office, and Labor Inspector
General recommendations to improve and update the Federal Employees' Compensation Act (FECA). The last major amendments to
FECA were made in 1974. The Administration proposes changes that generate cost savings by simplifying FECA benefit rates,
introducing controls to prevent fraud and limit improper payments, and modernizing benefit administration. The proposal would
reform the FECA program prospectively to simplify benefits to provide a single compensation rate at 66 2/3 percent of the
injured workers' pay; reduce benefit levels at full Social Security Administration retirement age; prevent retroactive election
of FECA benefits after claimants have declined them in favor of federal retirement; apply a consistent waiting period for
compensation for all covered employees; increase benefits for funeral expenses and severe disfigurement; suspend payments
to indicted medical providers; and make other changes to improve program integrity and reduce improper payments. These reforms
would produce 10-year government-wide savings of more than $700 million, and approximately $212 million in net savings.

Energy Employees Occupational Illness Compensation Act of 2000 (EEOICPA) benefits.—The Department of Labor is delegated responsibility to adjudicate and administer claims for benefits under the Energy Employees
Occupational Illness Compensation Program Act of 2000 (EEOICPA). In July 2001, the program began accepting claims from employees
or survivors of employees of the Department of Energy (DOE) and of private companies under contract with DOE who suffer from
a radiation-related cancer, beryllium-related disease, or chronic silicosis as a result of their work in producing or testing
nuclear weapons. The Act authorizes a lump-sum payment of $150,000 and reimbursement of medical expenses. This program is
EEOICPA Part B.
The Ronald Reagan National Defense Authorization Act of 2005 (P.L. 108–767) amended EEOICPA, giving DOL responsibility for
a new program (Part E) to pay workers' compensation benefits to DOE contractors and their families for illness and death arising
from toxic exposures in DOE's nuclear weapons complex. This law also provides compensation for uranium workers covered under
section 5 of the Radiation Exposure Compensation Act. Benefit payments under Part E began in 2005.

Energy Employees Occupational Illness Compensation Program Act of 2000 (EEOICPA) administration.—Under Executive Order 13179 the Secretary of Labor is assigned primary responsibility for administering the EEOICPA program,
while other responsibilities have been delegated to the Departments of Health and Human Services (HHS), Energy (DOE), and
Justice (DOJ). The Office of Workers' Compensation Programs (OWCP) in the Department of Labor (DOL) is responsible for claims
adjudication, and award and payment of compensation and medical benefits. DOL's Office of the Solicitor provides legal support
and represents the Department in claimant appeals of OWCP decisions. HHS is responsible for developing individual dose reconstructions
to estimate occupational radiation exposure, and developing regulations to guide DOL's determination of whether an individual's
cancer was caused by radiation exposure at a DOE or atomic weapons facility. DOE is responsible for providing exposure histories
at employment facilities covered under the Act, and other employment information. DOJ assists claimants who have been awarded
compensation under the Radiation Exposure Compensation Act to file for additional compensation, including medical benefits,
under EEOICPA. This program is EEOICPA Part B.
The Ronald Reagan National Defense Authorization Act of 2005 (P.L. 108–767) amended EEOICPA, giving DOL responsibility for
a new program Part E, to pay workers' compensation benefits to DOE contractors and their families for illness and death arising
from toxic exposures in DOE's nuclear weapons complex. This law also provides compensation for uranium workers covered by
the Radiation Exposure Compensation Act.
The Carl Levin and Howard P. "Buck" McKeon National Defense Authorization Act of 2015 (P.L. 113–291) amended EEOICPA to include
Section 3687, creating the Advisory Board on Toxic Substances and Worker Health to advise the Secretary of Labor (as delegated
by Executive Order 13699) with respect to technical aspects of the EEOICPA program. The Advisory Board is charged with advising
the Secretary on four statutorily-specific technical issues related to EEOICPA: DOL's site exposure matrices; medical guidance
for claims examiners; evidentiary requirements for claims under subtitle B related to lung disease; and the work of industrial
hygienists and staff physicians and consulting physicians to ensure quality, objectivity, and consistency.
For 2021, there are two changes in the Energy Employees Occupational Illness Compensation Program Act Appropriations language
which repeal Part E authorizing language to make the Part E administrative expenses amount a definite appropriated mandatory
with directed scoring language (as Part B currently is), and make administrative expenses for Part B and Part E into two activities
in one appropriation, allowing shifting of funds between the two activities.

Title IV of the Federal Mine Safety and Health Act authorizes monthly benefits to coal miners disabled due to coal workers'
pneumoconiosis (black lung), and to their widows and certain other dependents. Part B of the Act assigned the processing and
paying of claims filed between December 30, 1969 (when the program originated) and June 30, 1973 to the Social Security Administration
(SSA). P.L. 107–275 transferred Part B claims processing and payment operations from SSA to the Department of Labor's Office
of Workers' Compensation Programs. This change was implemented on October 1, 2003.

This fund was established to provide for the accumulation of funds to meet the Panama Canal Commission's obligations to defray
costs of workers' compensation which will accrue pursuant to the Federal Employees' Compensation Act (FECA). On December 31,
1999, the Commission was dissolved as set forth in the Panama Canal Treaty of 1977; however, the liability of the Commission
for payments beyond that date did not end with its termination. The establishment of this fund, into which funds were deposited
on a regular basis by the Commission, was in conjunction with the transfer of the administration of the FECA program from
the Commission to the Department of Labor, effective January 1, 1989.

The trust fund consists of all monies collected from the coal mine industry under the provisions of the Black Lung Benefits
Revenue Act of 1981, as amended by the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985, in the form of an excise tax
on mined coal. These monies are expended to pay compensation, medical, and survivor benefits to eligible miners and their
survivors, where mine employment terminated prior to 1970 or where no mine operator can be assigned liability. In addition,
the fund pays all administrative costs incurred in the operation of Part C of the Black Lung program. The fund is administered
jointly by the Secretaries of Labor, Treasury, and Health and Human Services. The Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of
2008, enacted on October 3, 2008, authorized restructuring of the Black Lung Disability Trust Fund (BLDTF) debt by (1) extending
the current coal excise tax rates of $1.10 per ton on underground-mined coal and $0.55 per ton on surface-mined coal until
December 31, 2018; (2) providing a one-time appropriation for the BLDTF to repay the market value of parts of the outstanding
repayable advances and accrued interest; and (3) refinancing the remainder of the outstanding debt through the issuance of
zero-coupon bonds, to be retired using the BLDTF's annual operating surplus until all of its remaining obligations have been
paid.
Note.— Between January 1, 2019 and December 31, 2019, the coal excise tax rates on underground-mined coal were $0.50 per ton or 2 percent of the sales price (whichever is lower) and $0.25 per ton or 2 percent of the sales price (whichever is lower) on surface-mined coal. Congress restored the tax rates on underground-mined coal of
$1.10 per ton or 2 percent of the sales price (whichever is lower) and $0.55 per ton or 2 percent of the sales price (whichever
is lower) on surface-mined coal from January 1, 2020 to December 31, 2020 in the Further Consolidated Appropriations Act,
2020.

The trust fund consists of amounts received from employers for the death of an employee where no person is entitled to compensation
for such death, for fines and penalty payments, and—pursuant to an annual assessment of the industry—for the general expenses
of the fund under the Longshore and Harbor Workers' Compensation Act (LHWCA), as amended.
The trust fund is available for payments of additional compensation for second injuries. When a second injury is combined
with a previous disability and results in increased permanent partial disability, permanent total disability, or death, the
employer's liability for benefits is limited to a specified period of compensation payments, after which the fund provides
continuing compensation benefits. In addition, the fund pays one-half of the increased benefits provided under the LHWCA for
persons on the rolls prior to 1972. Maintenance payments are made to disabled employees undergoing vocational rehabilitation
to enable them to return to remunerative occupations, and the costs of necessary rehabilitation services not otherwise available
to disabled workers are defrayed. Payments are made in cases where other circumstances preclude payment by an employer and
to provide medical, surgical, and other treatment in disability cases where there has been a default by the insolvency of
an uninsured employer.

The Wage and Hour Division enforces the minimum wage, overtime, child labor, and other employment standards under the Fair
Labor Standards Act (FLSA), the Migrant and Seasonal Agricultural Worker Protection Act (MSPA), the Family and Medical Leave
Act (FMLA), certain provisions of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA), the wage garnishment provisions in Title III

private, state, and local government employment. They protect over 143,000,000 workers in more than 9,800,000 establishments
throughout the United States and its territories.

The Wage and Hour Division has traditionally had responsibility for enforcing certain worker protections provisions of the
Immigration and Nationality Act, specifically the H-2A and H-1B temporary non-immigrant foreign worker programs. Pursuant
to an Interagency Agreement (IAA) between the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the U.S. Department of Labor
(DOL) and section 214(c)(14)(B) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA), 8 U.S.C. 1184(c)(14)(B), DOL and WHD have been
delegated the enforcement authority located at section 214(c)(14)(A)(i) of the INA, 8 U.S.C. 1184(c)(14)(A)(i) for enforcing
the H-2B temporary non-immigrant foreign worker program. Under section 524 of H.R. 3288, the Secretary of Labor may use one-third
of the H-1B and L Fraud Protection and Detection fee account for enforcement of these temporary worker program provisions
and for related enforcement activities.

The Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) enforces, for the benefit of job seekers and wage earners, the
contractual promise of affirmative action and equal employment opportunity required of those who do business with the Federal
government. OFCCP administers Executive Order 11246, as amended, which prohibits employment discrimination on the basis of
race, religion, color, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, and/or national origin; Section 503 of the Rehabilitation
Act of 1973, as amended, and the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA), as amended, which prohibit employment discrimination
against individuals with disabilities; and the Vietnam Era Veterans' Readjustment Assistance Act of 1974, as amended, which
prohibits employment discrimination against protected veterans. OFCCP monitors contractors' compliance through reporting requirements
and compliance evaluations. The 2021 Budget proposes building on comprehensive contractor compliance, improving compliance
assistance, contractor training and education and increasing transparency and consistency through OFCCP regulations. In 2021,
OFCCP will also strengthen the management and security of its program data, taking steps to address agency modernization needs
from an enterprise perspective. In collaboration with the Department's Office of the Chief Information Officer, OFCCP will
migrate its databases to the Department's IT Platform to strengthen security and improve reporting and interagency collaboration.

The mission of the Office of Labor-Management Standards (OLMS) is to ensure that the nation's labor union members are protected
by ensuring that unions are operated with transparency, integrity and democracy. It is OLMS' goal to facilitate oversight
and offer transparency to the union members. It does so by receiving and disclosing reports filed by unions, union officers
and employees, employers, labor consultants, and others in accordance with the Labor Management Reporting and Disclosure Act
(LMRDA), including union financial reports and employer and consultant activity reports. To ensure financial integrity, OLMS
audits union financial records and investigates possible embezzlements of union funds. To ensure democracy, OLMS conducts
union officer election investigations and supervises reruns of union officer elections pursuant to voluntary settlements or
after court determinations that elections were not conducted in accordance with the LMRDA. In addition, OLMS administers a
statutory program to certify employee protection provisions are included in grants and contracts under various Federally-sponsored
transportation programs.
In FY 2021, the restoration of the OLMS core enforcement program will advance union democracy, transparency, and financial
integrity protections by increasing the number of compliance audits to 535 to include all levels of union governance, conducting
365 criminal investigations, and expanding compliance assistance efforts. In addition, OLMS will ensure that federally sponsored
transportation grants are processed in a timely manner and that they provide requisite protection to employees against adverse
impacts that could result from projects funded with federal assistance. OLMS will also be included in the implementation of
the Department's Enterprise Shared Services Delivery model for IT Services in support of the President's Management Agenda
and will realign two (2) FTE to the Office of the Chief Information Officer for that initiative.

Safety and Health Standards.—This activity provides for the protection of workers' safety and health through the development, promulgation, review, and
evaluation of occupational safety and health standards and guidance, as specified under the Occupational Safety and Health
Act of 1970 (OSH Act). Before any standard is proposed or promulgated, a determination is made that: (1) a significant risk
of serious injury or health impairment exists; (2) the standard will reduce this risk; (3) the standard is economically and
technologically feasible; and (4) the standard is cost effective when compared with alternative regulatory proposals providing
equal levels of protection. This activity also ensures, through the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of
1996 (SBREFA) process, that small business concerns are taken into account in the process of developing standards.
Federal Enforcement.—This activity provides for the protection of employees through the enforcement of workplace standards promulgated under
the OSH Act, through the physical inspection of worksites, and by providing guidance on how to comply with the requirements
of OSHA standards. OSHA's enforcement strategy ranges from a selective targeting of inspections and related compliance activities
to a focus on specific high-hazard industries and worksites. Enforcement is prioritized by the investigation of imminent danger
situations and employee complaints, investigation of fatal and catastrophic accidents, programmed inspections of firms with
injury and illness rates that are above the national average, and special emphasis inspections for serious safety and health
hazards.
Whistleblower Programs.—This activity provides for the enforcement of twenty-three whistleblower protection statutes, including Section 11(c) of
the OSH Act, which prohibits any person from discharging or in any manner retaliating against any employee because the employee
has exercised rights under the Act, including complaining to OSHA and seeking an OSHA inspection, participating in an OSHA
inspection, and participating or testifying in any proceeding related to an OSHA inspection. In addition to the OSH Act, this
activity includes administration of twenty-two other whistleblower protection statutes that protect employees who report violations
of various airline, commercial motor carrier, consumer product, environmental, financial reform, food safety, health care
reform, nuclear, pipeline, public transportation agency, railroad, maritime, automotive manufacturing, and securities laws.
State Programs.—This activity supports states that assume responsibility for administering occupational safety and health programs under
State Plans approved by the Secretary. Under section 23 of the OSH Act, grants matching up to 50 percent of total program
costs are made to States that meet the Act's criteria for establishing and implementing State programs that are at least as
effective as the Federal OSHA program. State programs, like Federal OSHA, provide a mix of enforcement, outreach, training,
and compliance assistance activities.
Technical Support.—This activity provides support for OSHA's emergency response activities, including responses to oil spills, hurricanes,
tornados, and other natural or manmade disasters. This activity also provides specialized technical expertise and advice in
support of a wide range of program areas, including construction, standards setting, variance determinations, compliance assistance,
and enforcement. Areas of expertise include laboratory accreditation, industrial hygiene, occupational medicine, chemical
analysis, equipment calibration, safety engineering, environmental impact statements, technical and scientific databases,
computer-based outreach products, and emergency preparedness.
Federal Compliance Assistance.—This activity supports a broad range of training, outreach, and cooperative programs that provide compliance assistance
for employers and employees in protecting workers' safety and health, with particular emphasis on high-hazard industries,
small business, and other hard-to-reach workers. OSHA works with employers and employees through cooperative programs, such
as the Voluntary Protection Programs to recognize employers with exemplary safety and health programs, and Alliances and Strategic
Partnerships, which commit organizations to proactively collaborate with OSHA. This activity also provides assistance to federal
agencies in implementing and improving their job safety and health programs. Occupational safety and health training is provided
at the OSHA Training Institute and affiliated Education Centers throughout the country. Compliance and technical assistance
materials are prepared and disseminated to the public through various means, including online.
State Compliance Assistance: Consultation Grants.—This activity supports 90 percent federally funded cooperative agreements with designated State agencies to provide free
on-site safety and health consultation to small- and medium-sized employers upon request. State agencies tailor workplans
to specific needs in each State while maximizing their impact on injury and illness rates in smaller establishments in high-hazard
industries. These projects offer a variety of services, including safety and health program assessment and assistance, hazard
identification and control, and training of employers and their employees.
Safety and Health Statistics.—This activity supports the agency's information technology infrastructure, management of information, OSHA's webpage and
web-based compliance assistance services, and the statistical basis for OSHA's programs and field operations. These services
are provided through an integrated data network and statistical analysis and review. OSHA administers and maintains the recordkeeping
system that serves as the foundation for the BLS survey on occupational injuries and illnesses and provides guidance on recordkeeping
requirements to both the public and private sectors.
Executive Direction and Administration.—This activity supports executive direction, planning and evaluation, management support, legislative liaison, interagency
affairs, federal agency liaison, administrative services, and budgeting and financial control.

Jobs for Veterans State grants.—The Jobs for Veterans Act (JVA) of 2002 provides the foundation for this budget activity. The JVA requires the Veterans'
Employment and Training Service (VETS) to act on behalf of the Secretary in the promulgation of policies and regulations that
ensure maximum employment and training opportunities for veterans and priority of service for veterans (38 U.S.C. 4215) within
the State workforce delivery system for employment and training programs funded in whole or in part by the U.S. Department
of Labor. Under the JVA, grants are allocated to the States according to the statutory formula to support Disabled Veterans'
Outreach Program (DVOP) specialists and Local Veterans' Employment Representative (LVERs) staff.
DVOP specialists (38 U.S.C. 4103A) provide intensive services to meet the employment needs of eligible veterans. DVOP specialists
place maximum emphasis on assisting veterans with significant barriers to employment.
LVER staff (38 U.S.C. 4104) conduct outreach to employers, employer associations, and business groups to promote the advantages
of hiring veterans. LVERs also facilitate employment, training, and placement services provided to veterans under the applicable
State employment service delivery system, including American Job Centers by educating all workforce partner staff on current
employment initiatives and programs for veterans. In addition, each LVER provides reports to the manager of the State employment
service delivery system and to the State Director for Veterans Employment and Training (38 U.S.C. 4103) regarding the State's
compliance with Federal law and regulations with respect to special services and priorities for eligible veterans.
Transition Assistance Program (TAP).—This program provides employment workshops for separating service members and their spouses to prepare these individuals
for entry into the civilian workforce and job market. Its primary goal is to facilitate the transition from military to civilian
employment. VETS coordinates with federal agencies including the Departments of Defense, Veterans Affairs, and Homeland Security
to provide transition services to military service members separating from active duty. The 2019 National Defense Authorization
Act instructed responsbile agencies to improve TAP and directed DOL to deliver a mandatory one-day employment planning workshop
for all transitioning service members, as well as optional days of instruction on general employment preparation and Vocational
Training for transitioning service members interested in apprenticeship opportunities and technical careers.
National Veterans' Training Institute (NVTI).—NVTI develops and supplies competency-based training to Federal and State providers of services to veterans (38 U.S.C. 4109).
NVTI is administered through a contract and supported by dedicated funds. NVTI ensures that these service providers receive
a comprehensive foundation so they can effectively assist job-seeking veterans.
Homeless Veterans' Reintegration Program (HVRP).—HVRP (38 U.S.C. 2021) provides grants to States or other public entities, as well as to non-profits, including faith-based
organizations. Grantees operate employment programs to assist homeless veterans reintegrate into meaningful employment and
stimulate the development of effective service delivery systems that will address the complex problems facing homeless veterans.
VETS partners with the Departments of Veterans Affairs and Housing and Urban Development to promote multi-agency-funded programs
that integrate the different services needed by homeless veterans. HVRP grants are provided for both urban and rural areas.
Federal management.—VETS' Federal management budget activity supports the Federal administration of 38 U.S.C. 41, 42, and 43. This allows VETS
to carry out programs and develop policies to provide employment and training opportunities designed to meet the needs of
veterans (38 U.S.C. 4102–4115). It also enables VETS to discharge its responsibilities to administer, interpret, and help
enforce the Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act of 1994 (USERRA), 38 U.S.C. 4301–4335, by providing
technical assistance and investigating complaints received from veterans and service members who believe their employment
and reemployment rights were violated. This budget activity enables VETS to investigate complaints received from veterans
who claim a violation of their veterans' preference rights in Federal hiring pursuant to the Veterans' Employment Opportunities
Act of 1998 (VEOA), 5 U.S.C. 3330a. VETS' Federal Contractor Program (VETS-4212) is also supported under this activity, pursuant
to 38 U.S.C. 4212. These responsibilities involve the administration of a system whereby Federal contractors submit reports
setting forth their affirmative action efforts to hire and retain eligible veterans.
Resources under the Federal management activity are also used to evaluate the job training and employment assistance services
provided to veterans under the Jobs for Veterans State Grants (38 U.S.C. 4102A(b)(5)), and the Homeless Veterans Reintegration
(38 U.S.C. 2021). VETS personnel provide technical assistance to grantees to ensure they meet negotiated and mandated performance
goals and other grant provisions.
Federal management supports the oversight and development of policies for TAP (10 U.S.C. 1144 and 38 U.S.C. 4113). Through
outreach and education efforts, such as job fairs, VETS staff raise the awareness of employers about the benefits of hiring
veterans. The activities of the Advisory Committee for Veterans Employment, Training, and Employer Outreach (38 U.S.C. 4110)
also are supported through this budget activity. In addition, through fee collection, the federal management activity fund
administrative processes associated with the HIRE VETS Medallion program.

Departmental Support Systems.—This activity represents a permanent, centralized IT investment fund for the Department of Labor managed by the Chief Information
Officer. The fund supports enterprise-wide IT security enhancements that facilitate a centrally managed IT environment with
increased risk mitigation parameters to protect the integrity of DOL data and network availability. These efforts are achieved
through several new and ongoing projects mandated by executive and congressional directives.
IT Infrastructure Modernization.—This Chief Information Officer-managed activity funds the effort to transform nine major independently funded and managed
IT infrastructure silos at the sub-agency level into a unified IT infrastructure. The unified infrastructure will be centrally
managed and provide all agencies with general purpose business productivity tools, a shared environment for common data sources,
and the underlying IT services to support it.
