WIOA National Dislocated Worker Grants / WIA National Emergency Grants — CFDA 17.277

Dislocated-worker dollars on 183 award records

Assistance listing 17.277 is titled WIOA NATIONAL DISLOCATED WORKER GRANTS / WIA NATIONAL EMERGENCY GRANTS in the USAspending.gov files this site indexes. The obligation total on that code is $927,846,626.50. An obligation is a recorded federal commitment on an award. It is not an outlay. Treating $927.8M as training already delivered mixes two series. SpendingVault keeps the label as obligations.

183 awards sit under that dollar book. Dividing $927,846,626.50 by 183 produces a mean near $5.07 million per award record. That quotient is derived from the two packet totals. It is not a typical local DWG budget and not a cost per participant. National dislocated-worker dollars often sit on event-driven assistance actions, which is why 183 records can carry $927.8M without implying 183 identical layoffs.

85 recipients in 49 states

CFDA 17.277 lists 85 recipients and 49 states against 183 awards. Recipient count is not unique workers. It is how many organizational recipients the assistance extract stores for this listing. A state or local workforce board can appear on more than one award; 85 is not a census of employers that closed. The 49-state span is a coded-jurisdiction count, not a map of every layoff event.

183 awards against 85 recipients averages about 2.2 award records per recipient. Extra modifications can lift the 183 tally without moving $927,846,626.50 much. The 17.277 hub keeps dollars, awards, recipients, and states visible so one statistic is not inferred from another. The dual WIOA/WIA title is a listing label; the extract is one obligation book.

Obligations versus workforce outlays

USAspending.gov publishes obligations on assistance awards. The $927,846,626.50 figure for CFDA 17.277 can include commitments that will disburse later. A participant-exit report, a WARN-notice file, and a Treasury outlay series are different publications. This page does not translate the obligation total into those series.

If a number you expected is missing, the usual cause is a different reporting concept. Start from the obligation definition, then open the 17.277 program page. Do not stretch 183 awards or 85 recipients to cover every WIOA dollar that touches dislocated workers.

What the 17.277 tables omit

The National Dislocated Worker Grants hub lists award-backed obligations from USAspending.gov. It is not a layoff roster, not a training-completion file, and not a formula WIOA adult/dislocated-worker allocation table. Series that never appear as assistance awards will not show up in the $927,846,626.50. That omission is definitional rather than a gap in the 183 award rows.

Place-of-performance on 49 states is a coding field. A statewide grantee coded to one cell can dominate geography while participants live in many counties. Read the program page before any state split.

How to cite CFDA 17.277

A complete citation is $927,846,626.50 in obligations for CFDA 17.277, covering 183 awards, 85 recipients, and 49 states, drawn from USAspending.gov assistance awards on SpendingVault. Name the series as obligations. If the question is how many workforce agencies appear, lead with 85 recipients and 183 awards, then the $927.8M total.

Start with the WIOA National Dislocated Worker Grants / WIA National Emergency Grants program page, then the all-programs index. Agency pages show awarding organizations; they do not replace this listing’s obligation total. Nothing here is employment advice.

A worked reading of the 17.277 extract

Start from the four packet facts: $927,846,626.50, 183 awards, 85 recipients, and 49 states under CFDA 17.277. The mean near $5.07 million is a quotient from a modest award count, not a typical local grant. If a later USAspending.gov file adds large disaster or layoff actions, dollars can jump while 85 recipients barely move. If modifications proliferate, 183 can rise while the dollar book stays close to $927.8M.

Nothing in the extract splits disaster DWGs from employment-recovery DWGs, or WIOA from legacy WIA labels. Those cuts live outside this packet. Treat CFDA 17.277 as an assistance-listing tag on USAspending.gov award files. Open the program page, then the all-programs index, for a same-series ranking. Cite 183 awards and 85 recipients next to the dollars so the event-driven pattern is visible.

Is CFDA 17.277 the same as formula dislocated-worker funding?

This packet does not say. It records $927,846,626.50 in obligations on 183 awards for listing 17.277 only. Formula adult or dislocated-worker accounts tagged under different CFDA numbers are not mixed into that total. Combining codes would invent a figure this extract does not contain.

Not as a cash-paid sum. USAspending reports obligations—commitments to pay—rather than outlays. The $927,846,626.50 figure can include amounts that will disburse later. The 183-award count is a record tally, not a count of participants. Cite CFDA 17.277 with the obligation total from USAspending.gov assistance awards, not an outlay series.

How many states appear on CFDA 17.277?

The extract codes 49 states for this national DWG listing. That count is place-of-performance geography in USAspending.gov assistance files, not a map of every layoff. Those rows still sit under the $927,846,626.50 obligation total and the 85-recipient count.
