The U.S. Department of Labor's Employment and Training Administration awarded a $1,125,083 Project Grant under the Unemployment Insurance (CFDA 17.225) federal grant program to the State of Maryland Department of Labor, Licensing and Regulation (DLLR). The purpose of this grant is to provide Maryland with funding to operate Reemployment Services and Eligibility Assessment (RESEA) programs that assist individuals receiving Unemployment Insurance (UI) benefits.
The grant supports DLLR in providing reemployment services and referrals to other available programs and services to help UI recipients quickly return to work and reduce the duration of UI benefit receipt. Funded activities must align with four key program goals: 1) reducing UI duration through improved employment outcomes, 2) strengthening UI program integrity, 3) promoting alignment with the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA), and 4) establishing RESEA as an entry point to other workforce programs. DLLR may partner with local workforce service providers as sub-recipients to deliver these RESEA services across the state.
