B7: This apportionment requests $188,600,000 for FY 2024 Pandemic Unemployment Assistance (PUA) administrative funding. Use of these funds is authorized by section 2102(g) of Division A, Title II, Subtitle A of the Cares Act, P.L. 116-136, as amended by P.L. 116-260 and P.L. 117-2. The funding is requested to cover residual administrative activity associated with the PUA program. This includes workload driven funding, which is estimated at approximately $60 million based on recent average workload counts, while the remaining funding is expected to support additional SBR funding opportunities in support of states' ongoing administration and recovery efforts. This apportionment includes an additional $70,725,000 for FY 2024 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. The funding is requested to cover residual administrative activity associated with the PEUC program. This includes ongoing state workload activity plus any additional retroactive funding determined through reconciliation of state workloads to previously paid administrative funding totals. 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.
