Federal Additional Unemployment Compensation Program

B1: This apportionment requests the estimated amount of $25,000 for FY 2025 Federal Additional Unemployment Compensation (FAUC) administrative costs. These funds are to cover non-Recovery Act FAUC costs authorized under P.L. 111-118, as amended, most recently by P.L. 111-157. [Rationale: Footnote is for informational purposes only.]

B2: In addition, this apportionment requests $56,200,000 for Federal Pandemic Unemployment Compensation (FPUC) administrative costs, as authorized by section 2104(d)(3) 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 support states' ongoing administrative costs for the FPUC program. As a result of changes to the Department's grants management process, the Department was unable to issue approximately $2.5 million in quarterly administrative funding earnings for FY 2024. An additional $51.2 million will be awarded through a supplemental funding opportunity to support states' ongoing program work. The remaining $2.5 million included in this request will cover states' ongoing quarterly administrative earnings for FY 2025. This apportionment also requests $7,500,000 for Mixed Earner Unemployment Compensation (MEUC) administrative costs, as authorized by section 2104(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 are requested to cover ongoing administrative costs for the MEUC program. These funds are projected to be sufficient to cover both existing unpaid MEUC administrative funding earnings from FY 2024 and additional administrative earnings in FY 2025. These amounts are subject to sequestration. [Rationale: Footnote is for informational purposes only.]

A1: The amount on line 1230 is the required sequester amount in dollars assuming that the program requires appropriations equal to the selected budget authority amount (listed as part of line 1200). Due to the indefinite nature of this account, the sequester amount in dollars may not be equal to the sequester amount in dollars reflected in the OMB Report to the Congress on the BBEDCA 251A Sequestration for Fiscal Year 2025 (March 11, 2024). During the remainder of the fiscal year, if the necessary appropriation is different from the selected budget authority amount (listed as part of line 1200), the amount in dollars currently reflected on line 1230 is hereby automatically apportioned as follows: The agency will achieve the reduction by applying a 5.7% reduction to obligations incurred from this account from the date on which reductions are implemented to the end of the fiscal year. [Rationale: Footnote signifies that this TAFS has received or may receive an automatic apportionment.]
