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. Includes
competitive grants for POWER+, which will support community-led workforce transition, layoff aversion, job creation, and other
strategic initiatives designed to ensure economic prosperity for workers and job seekers in the coal, oil, and gas industries.
Reentry Employment Opportunities.—Supports activities authorized under section 169 of the WIOA to help individuals exiting incarceration 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 adults who have been involved with the criminal justice system or who
left high school before graduation, 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 individuals leaving incarceration. The
Department of Labor will continue to coordinate closely with the Department of Justice and other relevant Agencies in carrying
out this program.
Apprenticeship.—Activities that support and expand Registered 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 to provide academic training and occupational skills training, mentoring, and supportive services to eligible at-risk
youth, with a specific focus on attaining construction skills through building or rehabilitating affordable housing for low-income
or homeless families in their own neighborhoods
Indian and Native American Program.—Grants to provide employment, education, intensive training, and supportive services to tribes, tribal consortia, and nonprofit
Indian organizations.
Migrant and Seasonal Farmworkers.—Grants to provide employment and training services to migrant and seasonal farmworkers (MSFW) and their dependents. The program
provides career, training, housing assistance, youth, and other related assistance services to MSFWs.
National Youth Employment Program.—Competitive grants to operate summer and year-round youth employment programs through partnerships with employers in high
demand industries and occupations. In addition to employment, programs will provide supportive services, such as transportation
and childcare, necessary for youth participation in summer and year-round employment programs and will connect youth with
additional skill-building opportunities that enable them to enter on-ramps to careers.
Veterans' Clean Energy Training.—Competitive grants to prepare eligible veterans, transitioning service members, and spouses of veterans and transitioning
service members for careers in clean energy sectors and occupations.

Registered Apprenticeship and Pre-Apprenticeship.—Provides $10 billion over ten years to vastly expand Registered Apprenticeships and the pathways into these proven earn-and-learn
programs, creating one to two million new Registered Apprenticeship slots over the next ten years.

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.

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 American Jobs Plan invests in proven workforce development programs targeted to underserved groups and getting students
on paths to careers before they graduate from high school. Within the State UI and Employment Service Operations account,
the plan includes an investment of $8 billion over ten years for Expanded Career Services. The funding will greatly expand
access to intensive, staff-assisted career services offered through the Employment Service network, doubling the number of
people who receive career services through the public workforce system.

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 or the Federal Unemployment
Account in the UTF for benefit costs.

The Coronavirus, Aid, Relief, and Economic Secuirty Act (Public Law 116–136) provided as an incentive for states to enact
state Short-Time Compensation (STC) programs and promote the use of STC, 100 percent reimbursement of STC benefit costs paid
under state law for weeks ending on or before December 31, 2020. The Continued Assistance for Unemployed Workers Act of 2020
(Public Law 116–260) extended the 100 percent STC reimbursements to include weeks of unemployment ending on or before March
14, 2021, and the American Rescue Plan Act (Public Law 117–2) further extended the 100 percent STC reimbursements to include
weeks of unemployment ending on or before September 6, 2021. Grant funding was also available to states whose permanent STC
laws meet the Federal definition.

This account provides mandatory general revenue funding for Federal Pandemic Unemployment Compensation (FPUC), a temporary
program established under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (Public Law 116–136). This program paid a
supplement of $600 on every week of unemployment compensation through July 31, 2020. It was then reauthorized by the Continued
Assistance for Unemployed Workers Act of 2020 (Public Law 116–260) and modified to provide $300 per week in supplemental benefits
for weeks of unemployment beginning after December 26, 2020, and ending on or before March 14, 2021. The American Rescue Plan
Act (Public Law 117–2) extends the FPUC program at $300 per week through the week ending on or before September 6, 2021.
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, 2023.

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 $33 billion will be borrowed during fiscal year 2021 and an additional $7 billion will be borrowed
in fiscal year 2022. 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 2022 request continues this
authority.
PROGRAM ADMINISTRATION
For expenses of administering employment and training programs, $144,497,000, together with not to exceed $67,006,000 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.

The Bipartisan Budget Act of 2018 (P.L. 115–123) amended the Social Security Act and permanently authorized the Reemployment
Services and Eligibility Assessments (RESEA) program, authorizing $117 million in annual base funding, plus an allocation
adjustment level, previously referred to as a discretionary cap adjustment. The allocation adjustment level provides for an
increasing level of funding up to a specified amount each year. Multiple research studies have found that the RESEA service
delivery model leads to reduced unemployment insurance durations, and thereby benefit savings, among other improvements in
employment outcomes.
The FY 2022 President's Budget includes projected savings generated by the allocation adjustment funding from the operation
of RESEA. These savings are based on the projected reduction in claimant durations due to the RESEA provisions and the associated
benefits savings due to fewer weeks paid. The savings also indirectly impact state unemployment tax revenues, as state tax
collections are largely determined by benefit outlays and trust fund reserves, and lower benefit outlays translate into slightly
lower tax rates and collections over the 10-year projection period.

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 34,000,000 of America's workers
and retirees participating in more than 24,500 private-sector defined benefit pension plans. The Single-Employer Program
protects about 23,500,000 workers and retirees in about 23,200 pension plans. The Multiemployer Program protects about 10,900,000
workers and retirees in about 1,400 pension plans. 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 $472,955,000 in spending authority for administrative purposes in 2022. The request includes spending
authority of $4,600,000 for Modernizing Enterprise Risk Management Capabilities and Strengthening Internal Controls, $4,921,933
for Mission Critical and Mandatory Personnel Compensation and Benefits (PC&B) costs, $144,067 for Office of the Inspector
General (OIG) Mandatory PC&B Cost Increases, and (-$2,000,000) program decrease for a one-time cost to upgrade Oracle's Federal
Financial eBusiness Suite applications.
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 encouraged companies, both in bankruptcy and otherwise, to preserve their plans that were at risk. In 2020,
PBGC:
—Paid $173,000,000 in financial assistance to 95 insolvent multiemployer plans, including one facilitated merger; and
—Performed audits of eight multiemployer plans covering more than 5,500 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 2020, PBGC:
—Paid $6,100,000,000 in benefits to 984,000 retirees in single-employer plans; and
— Performed standard termination audits of single-employer plans that resulted in additional payments of $1,900,000 to 1,909
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 2020, PBGC:
— Took responsibility for 69 single-employer plans that provide the pension benefits to an additional 56,405 workers and
retirees;
— Protected 127,000 single-employer plan participants from employers emerging from bankruptcy.
Multiemployer financial assistance.—The Multiemployer Program covers about 10,900,000 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.
The American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA), enacted March 11, 2021, created a new, separate role for PBGC with respect to certain
financially troubled multiemployer plans. Under ARPA, Congress established a Special Financial Assistance (SFA) program under
which PBGC will provide one-time payments to eligible plans to enable them to pay benefits at the plan level. The new SFA
program is funded entirely by general taxpayer money.
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 Generalincluding training and participation in the Council
of the Inspectors General on Integrity and Efficiency (CIGIE) activities.

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 2022 the FECA
program projects to create 100,000 cases for Federal workers or their survivors; 15,600 Federal employees are projected to
submit initial wage-loss claims; and 37,000 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.

Longshore and Harbor Workers' Compensation Act benefits.—Under the Longshore and Harbor Workers' Compensation Act, as amended, the Federal Government pays from direct appropriations
one-half of the increased benefits provided by the amendments for persons on the rolls prior to 1972. The remainder is provided
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.

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.
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.

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 Black Lung Disability Trust Fund (BLDTF) 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 coal mined and used domestically. These monies are used 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 BLDTF 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. Because excise tax receipts were insufficient to cover the BLDTF's expenses, the fund borrowed monies necessary
to meet the shortfall from the U.S. Treasury, subject to repayment with interest. This led to the fund accumulating a large
amount of debt. 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, 2021 in the Further Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2020 and the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021.

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
of the Consumer Credit Protection Act (CCPA), and the Employee Polygraph Protection Act (EPPA). The Division also determines
prevailing wages and enforces employment standards under various Government contract wage standards, including the Davis-Bacon
and Related Acts (DBRA) and the McNamara-O'Hara Service Contract Act (SCA). Collectively, these labor standards cover most
private, state, and local government employment. They protect over 148 million workers in more than 10.2 million 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.

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 2022 Budget proposes resizing OFCCP's workforce to build on comprehensive contractor compliance,
improving compliance assistance, contractor training and education, and increasing transparency and consistency through OFCCP
regulations.

The Office of Labor-Management Standards (OLMS) administers the Labor-Management Reporting and Disclosure Act (LMRDA) and
related laws. The LMRDA was enacted to protect union members by ensuring that they have the transparency, democracy, and
financial integrity they need to make informed decisions about their membership in a union as well as its operations and to
ensure that members and employees who are engaged in organizing activities know the sources of their employers' messages urging
them not to organize. These laws were enacted to strengthen labor unions by protecting union members from individuals, organizations,
and/or influences that do not function in their best interests. While the vast majority of America's labor unions and their
leaders operate for the benefit of the hard working people who comprise their membership, OLMS is tasked with protecting the
union members by administering the LMRDA. OLMS also administers employee protections under various federally sponsored transportation
programs that require fair and equitable protective arrangements for mass transit employees when federal funds are used to
acquire, improve, or operate a transit system.
The FY 2022 funding request is to restore the core enforcement program and adds 38 positions: 32 in the Agency's field offices
across the country, 2 in the Division of Enforcement, 2 in the Division of Interpretations and Standards, and 2 in the Office
of Field Operations.

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 25 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 24 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,

laundering 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. There are 28 approved State Plans.
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 employer and employee stakeholder groups to share compliance
assistance information, resources, and tools, and to plan, coordinate, and participate in meetings, conferences, training
events, and outreach activities in support of the agency's key initiatives, including enforcement and rulemaking activities,
outreach campaigns, and other priority initiatives. OSHA also 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 OSHA's On-Site Consultation Program, which offers no-cost and confidential occupational safety and
health services to small- and medium-sized businesses in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, and several U.S. territories,
with priority given to high-hazard worksites. On-Site Consultation services are seperate from enforcement and do not result
in penalties and citations. Consultants from state agencies or universities work with employers to identify workplace hazards,
provide advice for compliance with OSHA standards, and assist in establishing and improving safety and health programs. Designated
state agencies or universities enter into cooperative agreements the provide 90 percent federal funding.
Training Grants.—This activity supports safety and health grants to organizations the provide face-to-face training, education, technical
assistance, and develop educational materials for employers and employees. These grants address education needs for workers
with limited access to occupational safety health training, including young workers, temporary, minority, low literacy, domestic,
limited English speaking, or other hard-to-reach workers; and specific high-risk topics and industries identified by the agency.
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.

Program Direction and Support.—Provides leadership and direction for all programs and functions assigned to the Department of Labor (DOL). Provides guidance
for the development and implementation of governmental policy to protect and promote the interests of the American worker,
achieving better employment and earnings, promoting productivity and economic growth, safety, equity and affirmative action
in employment, and collecting and analyzing statistics on the labor force.
Legal Services.—The Office of the Solicitor (SOL) provides the Secretary of Labor and departmental program officials with the legal services
required to accomplish the Department's mission. SOL litigates worker protection enforcement and other cases in Federal and other tribunals, including bankruptcy courts and various administrative forums throughout the nation. SOL has direct
civil litigation authority in most programs, but there are occasions where SOL works hand-in-hand with DOJ; and SOL plays
a significant role in the development of many criminal investigations referred to DOJ. SOL's legal services are significant
to the Department's rulemaking efforts, both in the development and then the defense of rules. SOL provides legal advice to
the Department's agencies, including orders, written interpretations, opinions and legislation, as well as legal services
to Departmental management with respect to issues like appropriations, procurement, data privacy, FOIA, ethics, and employment
law. SOL also supports the Department's enforcement efforts by providing legal advice on individual investigations of labor
violations.
International Labor Affairs.—The Bureau of International Labor Affairs (ILAB) advances worker rights and promotes a fair global playing field by enforcing
trade commitments, strengthening compliance with labor standards, and combating international child labor, forced labor, and
human trafficking. ILAB combines monitoring and enforcement of labor provisions in U.S. trade agreements and preference programs,
bilateral and multilateral engagement, research, and technical cooperation to carry out the international responsibilities
of the Department of Labor.
Administration and Management.—Exercises leadership in all departmental administrative and management programs and services and ensures efficient and effective
operation of Departmental programs; provides policy guidance on matters of personnel management, information resource management
and procurement; and provides for consistent and constructive internal labor-management relations throughout the Department.
Adjudication.—Renders timely decisions on appeals of claims filed before four different components, which include the Office of Administrative
Law Judges, the Administrative Review Board, the Benefits Review Board, and the Employees' Compensation Appeals Board.
Women's Bureau.—Serves as the only Federal agency mandated by Congress to work exclusively on issues that affect women in the workplace
and to represent the needs of wage-earning women in the public policy process. The Women's Bureau deploys its research, statistics,
advocacy and grantmaking capacity to advising the Secretary, the Administration, and sister DOL agencies on policy and regulatory
issues facing working women.
Civil Rights.—Ensures compliance with certain Federal civil rights statutes and Executive Orders, and their implementing regulations,
including Titles VI and VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, Sections 504 and 508 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, Title
II of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, Section 188 of the Workforce Investment Act of 1998, and Section 188 of
the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act. These laws apply to and protect Department of Labor (DOL) employees, DOL applicants
for employment, and individuals who interact with DOL programs and activities.
Chief Financial Officer.—Created as a result of the CFO Act of 1990, provides financial management leadership and direction to all DOL program agencies
on financial matters arising from legislative and regulatory mandates such as the CFO Act, GMRA, FFMIA, FMFIA, Clinger-Cohen,
The Reports Consolidation Act, IPIA, Treasury Financial Manual guidance and OMB Circulars.
Program Evaluation.—The Office of the Chief Evaluation Officer is charged with coordinating and overseeing rigorous evaluations of the Department
of Labor's programs, ensuring high standards in evaluations undertaken and funded by the Department, and in leading implementation
of the Department's evidence-building agenda. Through its development and dissemination of rigorous scientific knowledge,
the office builds evaluation capacity and expertise to ensure that evaluation and research findings are available and accessible
for policy and program decision-makers in a timely and user-friendly way.

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).—(10 U.S.C. 1144, 38 U.S.C. 4113) 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, 2021A and 2023) 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). This activity provides for the salary and benefits, travel, and training for all VETS' current
staff in the national office, six regional offices, and offices in each state, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico.
In addition, this activity provides for outreach and engagement with Federal, state, and local governments; private sector
employers and trade associations; institutions of higher learning; non-profit organizations; and Veteran Service Organizations
to help service members, returning veterans, and families reintegrate into the workforce.
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 Honoring Investments in Recruiting and Employing American Military Veterans Act
of 2017 (HIRE VETS Act or the Act).
