摘要

The Department of Labor (Labor) awards national emergency grants to states and local areas to provide assistance to workers who lose their jobs because of major economic dislocations or disasters. Most grants awarded are regular grants to assist workers affected by plant closings or mass layoffs. Questions have been raised about whether grant funds are getting to states and local areas quickly enough. GAO was asked to assess the effectiveness of the process for awarding national emergency grants, whether Labor is planning changes that will improve the grant award process, and what is known about how grant funds are used. We are recommending that Labor set goals for awarding grants and incremental payments that include the entire award process, and track how long it takes for all steps of the process. Finally, Labor should clarify guidance to states on submitting national emergency grant data in progress reports and ensure that grantees submit data to the national participant database. In its comments, Labor disagreed with our conclusions and methodology. We conducted a complete review of Labor's grant award process for a 3-year period, surveyed states, and assessed current and proposed policies to reach our conclusions. While Labor is making changes to the grant award process, we identified additional actions needed.
