COVID-19: Effectiveness of UI ARPA Grants

The American Rescue Plan Act, as amended by the Fiscal Responsibility Act of 2023, provided $1 billion in funding to DOL to prevent and detect fraud, promote equitable access, ensure timely payment of benefits, and reduce backlogs. Of these funds, DOL provided approximately $219 million in grants to improve UI claimant outreach and customer service processes, implement strategies to reduce backlog, and improve access for workers in communities that may historically experience barriers. These grants will provide funding for states to improve public awareness and service delivery. This audit will focus on determining if ETA administered these grants in accordance with ARPA and DOL’s objectives for UI access and if recipients are on target to achieve performance outcomes.
