Opportunity Information: Apply for ETA TEGL 20 20
This opportunity is a U.S. Department of Labor, Employment and Training Administration (ETA) grant guidance package for the Senior Community Service Employment Program (SCSEP) for Program Year (PY) 2021. It is issued as Training and Employment Guidance Letter (TEGL) 20-20 and functions as the annual set of planning instructions that SCSEP grantees use to prepare their PY 2021 grant submissions. Rather than being a brand-new program concept, it is the government telling existing SCSEP operators how many participant positions are authorized for the year, what each grantee's funding allotment is, and what ETA expects grantees to do to properly plan, submit, and obligate those funds within the required timeframes.
SCSEP itself is a federally funded employment and training program focused on helping older workers, generally low-income individuals age 55 and older, gain skills and transition into unsubsidized employment. It typically does this by placing participants in paid community service assignments at host agencies (often nonprofits or public entities) while they receive training, supportive services, and job search assistance. Because SCSEP is administered through a network of state, territorial, and national grantees, ETA issues yearly planning guidance so that each operator knows its authorized slot level (the number of participant positions it can support) and the corresponding dollar amount it will receive to run the program for that year.
The announcement categorizes the opportunity as discretionary and uses a grant funding instrument. The funding activity category is Employment, Labor and Training, and it is associated with CFDA (now commonly referred to as Assistance Listing) number 17.235. The eligible applicants are described broadly as "Others," with the key practical point being that this TEGL is aimed at SCSEP state, territorial, and national grantees rather than the general public or first-time applicants. In other words, it is primarily planning and allocation instructions for entities already designated to operate SCSEP in their jurisdictions or nationally, and it sets expectations for how they must submit their PY 2021 materials to receive and use their allotments.
In terms of scale, the notice lists an award ceiling of $47,186,793 and anticipates about 77 awards. That aligns with how SCSEP is commonly structured, with multiple grantees across states, territories, and national organizations each receiving an allotment based on the authorized positions and formula or allocation rules that govern SCSEP funding distribution. The main deliverable for applicants is a PY 2021 grant submission that reflects the assigned allotment and slot level and demonstrates that the grantee will operate the program in compliance with ETA requirements, including proper budgeting, planned participant enrollment and service strategies, and timely obligation of funds.
The key dates in the source information indicate the guidance was created on May 7, 2021, and the application closing date was May 24, 2021. Applications were required to be received by 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time on the closing date. The emphasis on receipt time is typical for federal submissions and signals that late submissions may not be accepted, which matters because these planning instructions are tied to the annual funding cycle and ETA's need to issue funds and ensure they are obligated and spent according to federal timelines.
Overall, the TEGL serves three main purposes: it publishes the PY 2021 SCSEP allotments for each state, territory, and national grantee; it communicates the number of authorized positions tied to those allotments; and it provides the detailed instructions and requirements for what grantees must submit and how they must plan to obligate and manage their PY 2021 funds. For a prospective reader, the practical takeaway is that this is not a general open competition so much as a required annual planning and funding allocation process that keeps SCSEP operating consistently across the country and ensures the program's older-worker employment services are funded and administered in line with ETA rules for the year.Apply for ETA TEGL 20 20
