These funds will support administrative costs including workload driven funding, and funding for states under two SBR funding opportunities. These SBR funding opportunities include remaining funding applications for the opportunity announced in UIPL 28-20 Change 4 for states' ongoing integrity focused activities and an additional funding opportunity planned to be announced under UIPL 16-20 Change 7 to provide additional PUA administrative funding to support states' ongoing efforts to address outstanding monitoring findings and for other non-integrity and/or non-workload driven administrative costs. This apportionment includes an additional $94,300,000 for FY 2023 Pandemic Emergency Unemployment Compensation (PEUC) administrative funding. Use of these funds is authorized by section 2107(d) of Division A, Title II, Subtitle A of P.L. 116-136, as amended by P.L. 116-260 and P.L. 117-2. These funds will support workload driven funding and remaining funding applications for the opportunity announced in UIPL 28-20 Change 4 for states' ongoing integrity focused activities. This apportionment reflects the requested amounts for PUA and PEUC administrative funding as reduced by the 5.7% mandatory sequester. Mandatory PUA and PEUC administrative funds are subject to sequestration in the UTF, and then the amount net of the sequester is transferred to SUIESO for allotment to the States.
