The program serves more than 60,000 participants and operates in a primarily residential setting at 125 centers in 48 states, the District of Columbia and the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico. A new center in Florida is scheduled to open in July 2011 , and four new centers are currently under design or construction in Wisconsin, Iowa, New Hampshire and Wyoming. Large and small corporations and nonprofit organizations manage and operate 97 of the Job Corps centers through contractual agreements with the Department of Labor, while the other 28 centers are operated through an interagency agreement with the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Job Corps participants must be economically disadvantaged youth, ages 16–24, and who meet one or more of the following criteria: basic skills deficient; a school dropout; homeless, a runaway, or a foster child; a parent; or in need of additional education, vocational training, or intensive counseling and related assistance in order to participate successfully in regular schoolwork or to secure and hold employment. The 2012 Budget continues an initiative to reform and improve Job Corps, by setting high standards for centers and taking quick and decisive action to address problems in the program's performance.

Note.—A full-year 2011 appropriation for this account was not enacted at the time the budget was prepared; therefore, this account is operating under a continuing resolution (P.L. 111–242, as amended). The amounts included for 2011 reflect the annualized level provided by the continuing resolution.Community Service Employment for Older Americans (CSEOA), authorized by Title V of the Older Americans Act as amended in 2006 (P.L. 109–365), is a federally-sponsored community service employment and training program for unemployed low-income individuals, ages 55 and older. The program, known as the Senior Community Service Employment Program (SCSEP), offers participants work-based community service training at non-profit or governmental agencies, so that they can gain on-the-job experience and prepare to enter or re-enter the workforce. The 2012 Budget proposes transferring SCSEP to the Department of Health and Human Services to improve coordination between SCSEP and other senior-serving programs administered by the Administration on Aging and to help the program better fulfill its dual goals of fostering individual economic self-sufficiency and promoting useful opportunities in community service.

TAA Community College and Career Training Grant Fund The Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA) Community College and Career Training program is authorized by the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010 (P.L. 111–152), which provides $500 million annually in fiscal years 2011–2014 for competitive grants to eligible institutions of higher education. The program aims to improve education and employment outcomes for community college and other students, helping more Americans prepare to succeed in growing occupations. Funding will allow expansion and improvement of education and training programs that can be completed in 2 years or less, result in skills and credentials necessary for high-wage, in-demand jobs, and are suited for workers who are eligible for training under the TAA for Workers program. Grants will support institutions that use evidence to design program strategies, are committed to using data for continuous improvement, and facilitate evaluation that can build evidence about effective practices. The Department is implementing this program in cooperation with the Department of Education.Program and Financing(in millions of dollars)Identification code 16–0187–0–1–5042010 actualCR2012 est.

Note.—A full-year 2011 appropriation for this account was not enacted at the time the budget was prepared; therefore, this account is operating under a continuing resolution (P.L. 111–242, as amended). The amounts included for 2011 reflect the annualized level provided by the continuing resolution.This account funds the Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA) for Workers program, which provides weekly cash benefits, training, job search and relocation allowances, and employment and case management services to certain workers displaced by international trade. The account also funds the Alternative Trade Adjustment Assistance (ATAA) and the Reemployment Trade Adjustment Assistance (RTAA) programs that provide wage insurance payments for certain older workers who become reemployed at lower wages than the wages paid in their pre-layoff employment.The TAA for Workers program was reauthorized through December 31, 2010, under the Trade and Globalization Adjustment Assistance Act of 2009 (TGAAA) and extended through February 12, 2011 under the Omnibus Trade Act of 2010. Under the TGAAA, workers covered by petitions for the TAA program filed before May 18, 2009, continued to receive the benefits and services, including ATAA, in accordance with the TAA provisions that were in effect prior to these amendments (see Section 1891(b) of the TGAAA). Petitions filed on or after May 18, 2009, are considered under expanded group eligibility provisions (e.g., workers in the service sector will be eligible) and the covered workers may be eligible for enhanced services and benefits, including additional weeks of cash benefits while in training and for the RTAA program. Applications filed on or after February 13, 2011, will be reviewed and administered under prior law, as if the amendments made under the TGAAA had never been enacted.

Legislative proposal, subject to PAYGO The Administration proposes legislation to reauthorize and extend the Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA) for Workers program. The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Public Law 111–5) amended TAA to expand eligibility to service workers, increase the funds available for training, and make other program changes, but it sunset this expanded coverage for petitions filed after December 31, 2010. Upon sunset, the TAA program reverts to the application of the prior TAA law, which the Recovery Act extended through December 31, 2011. The Omnibus Trade Act of 2010 (Public Law 111–344) extended the Recovery Act provisions for petitions filed prior to February 13, 2011, and extended the application of prior TAA law through February 12, 2012.

The amounts included for 2011 reflect the annualized level provided by the continuing resolution.Unemployment compensationState administration amounts provide administrative grants to State agencies that pay unemployment compensation to eligible workers and collect State unemployment taxes from employers. These agencies also pay unemployment benefits to former Federal personnel and ex-servicemembers as well as trade readjustment allowances to eligible individuals. State administration amounts also provide administrative grants to State agencies to improve the integrity and financial stability of the unemployment compensation program through a comprehensive performance management system, UI Performs. The purpose is to effect continuous improvement in State performance and related activities designed to assess and reduce errors and prevent fraud, waste, and abuse in the payment of unemployment compensation benefits and the collection of unemployment taxes. National activities relating to the Federal-State unemployment insurance programs are conducted through contracts or agreements with the State agencies or with non-State entities. A workload contingency reserve is included in State administration to meet increases in the costs of administration resulting from increases in the number of claims filed and claims paid. The appropriation automatically provides additional funds whenever unemployment claims workload increases above levels specified in the appropriations language. The request for additional funding for in-person reemployment and eligibility assessments of claimants of unemployment compensation builds upon the success of a number of States in reducing improper payments and speeding reemployment using these assessments. Because most unemployment claims are now filed by telephone or Internet, in-person assessments conducted in the One-Stop Career Centers can help determine continued eligibility for benefits and adequacy of work search, verify the identity of beneficiaries where there is suspicion of possible identify theft, and provide referral to reemployment assistance to those who need additional help. The $60 million requested for reemployment and eligibility assessments is estimated to provide benefit savings of $237 million. It is important that this integrity initiative and other new enforcement investments be fully funded. To ensure full funding of reemployment and eligibility assessments, the Administration proposes to protect the dollars requested for these activities in the appropriations process through allocation adjustments, a mechanism that has been used by past Administrations and Congresses. Allocation adjustments are increases in the ceiling or allocation for annual appropriations, but these increases would be granted only if the base level for reemployment and eligibility assessments was funded at $10 million and if the use of the funds was clearly restricted to the specified purpose.

The public employment service is a nationwide system providing no-fee employment services to job-seekers and employers. State employment service activities are financed by grants provided by formula to States. Funding allotments are provided annually on a Program Year basis beginning July 1 and ending June 30 of the following year. Employment service activities serving national needs are conducted through specific reimbursable agreements between the States and the Federal Government under the Wagner-Peyser Act, as amended, and other legislation. States also receive funding under this activity for administration of the Work Opportunity Tax Credit, as well for amortization payments for those States that had independent retirement plans prior to 1980 in their State employment service agencies.

Workforce Innovation FundThe SUIESO account will contribute $61 million to a $379 million Workforce Innovation Fund for competitive grants to test innovative strategies and replicate evidence-based practices in the workforce system. The fund will support cross-program collaboration to improve education and employment outcomes for participants. The Departments of Labor and Education will jointly administer the fund, which is described in more detail in the Title V General Provisions.Foreign Labor CertificationThis activity provides for the administration of the foreign labor certification programs within the Employment and Training Administration. Under these programs, U.S. employers that can demonstrate a shortage of qualified, available U.S. workers and that there would be no adverse impact on similarly situated U.S. workers may seek the Secretary of Labor's certification as a first step in the multi-agency process required to hire a foreign worker to fill critical permanent or temporary vacancies. Major programs include the permanent, H-2A temporary agricultural, H-2B temporary non-agricultural and temporary highly skilled worker visas. The account is divided into Federal and State activities. Federal Administration provides leadership, policy, and operational direction to Federal activities supporting the effective and efficient administration of foreign labor certification programs. Provides grants to State labor agencies in 54 States and U.S. territories funding employment-related activities required for the administration of Federal foreign labor certification programs. Includes State Workforce Agency posting and circulation of job orders and other assistance to employers in the recruitment of U.S. workers, processing of employer requests for prevailing wage determinations for the permanent and temporary programs, state processing of H-2A agricultural and H-2B non-agricultural temporary labor certification applications, State safety inspection of housing provided by employers to workers, and State development of prevailing wage and prevailing practice surveys used to set wages and standards in a defined geographic area.These funds are used to support the joint Federal-State efforts to improve the comprehensive One-Stop system created under WIA. This system provides workers and employers with quick and easy access to a wide array of enhanced career development and labor market information services. A portion of these funds supports a joint initiative between the Employment and Training Administration and the Office of Disability Employment Policy to improve the accessibility and accountability of the public workforce development system for individuals with disabilities.Program and Financing(in millions of dollars)Identification code 16–0179–0–1–9992010 actualCR2012 est.

Payments to the Unemployment Trust Fund This account provides for general fund financing of extended unemployment benefit programs under certain statutes. Under the Emergency Unemployment Compensation law enacted in Public Law (P.L.) 102–164, as amended, there continues to be general fund financing for administrative costs related to any extended benefits paid under the optional, total unemployment rate trigger created in that law. This account is also used to make general fund reimbursements for some or all of the benefits and administrative costs incurred under the new Emergency Unemployment Compensation program (first enacted in P.L. 110–252 and expanded and extended several times, most recently in P.L. 111–312). These funds are transferred to a receipt account in the Unemployment Trust Fund (UTF) so that resources may be transferred to the Employment Security Administration Account in the UTF for administrative costs or to the Extended Unemployment Compensation Account in the UTF for benefit costs.

Advances to the Unemployment Trust Fund and Other Funds advances to the unemployment trust fund and other fundsFor repayable advances to the Unemployment Trust Fund as authorized by sections 905(d) and 1203 of the Social Security Act, and to the Black Lung Disability Trust Fund as authorized by section 9501(c)(1) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986; and for nonrepayable advances to the Unemployment Trust Fund as authorized by 5 U.S.C. 8509, and to the "Federal Unemployment Benefits and Allowances'' account, such sums as may be necessary, which shall be available for obligation through September 30, 2012 2013. Note.—A full-year 2011 appropriation for this account was not enacted at the time the budget was prepared; therefore, this account is operating under a continuing resolution (P.L. 111–242, as amended). The amounts included for 2011 reflect the annualized level provided by the continuing resolution. This account makes available funding for repayable advances (loans) to two accounts in the Unemployment Trust Fund (UTF): the Extended Unemployment Compensation Account (EUCA) which pays the Federal share of extended unemployment benefits, and the Federal Unemployment Account (FUA) which makes loans to States to fund unemployment benefits. In addition, the account has provided repayable advances to the Black Lung Disability Trust Fund (BLDTF) whenever its balances proved insufficient to make payments from that account. The BLDTF now has authority to borrow directly from the Treasury under the trust fund debt restructuring provisions of Public Law 110–343. Repayable advances are shown as borrowing authority within the UTF or the BLDTF, and they do not appear as budget authority or outlays in the Advances to the Unemployment Trust Fund and Other Funds account.This account also makes available funding as needed for nonrepayable advances to the Federal Employees Compensation Account (FECA) to pay the costs of unemployment compensation for former Federal employees and ex-servicemembers, and to the Federal Unemployment and Benefits and Allowances (FUBA) account to pay the costs of benefits and services under the Trade Adjustment Assistance for Workers (TAA) program. These advances are shown as budget authority and outlays in the Advances account .Advances were needed for the FUA, EUCA, and FECA accounts in fiscal year 2010 and are projected to continue. Detail on the nonrepayable advances to FECA is provided above; detail on the repayable advances is shown separately in the UTF account. To address the potential need for significant, and somewhat unpredictable, advances to various accounts, Congress appropriates such sums as necessary for advances to all of the potential recipient accounts. The fiscal year 2012 request continues this authority.Program and Financing(in millions of dollars)Identification code 16–0327–0–1–6002010 actualCR2012 est.

Legislative proposal, subject to PAYGO The 2012 Budget proposes legislation to establish fees for new applications under the permanent and H-2B temporary foreign labor certification programs. The Budget also proposes legislation to allow the Department to retain fees for new applications under the H-2A temporary labor certification program and modify the fee to cover program costs. The fees would offset the State and Federal costs of administering these programs and once fully implemented would greatly reduce or eliminate the need for appropriations for this purpose. Upon enactment of the fees, requests for funding in the Foreign Labor Certification administration account would be reviewed and adjusted.Program and Financing(in millions of dollars)Identification code 16–5507–4–2–5052010 actualCR2012 est.

The financial transactions of the Federal-State and railroad unemployment insurance systems are made through the Unemployment Trust Fund (UTF). All State and Federal unemployment tax receipts are deposited into the UTF, and invested in Government securities until needed for benefit payments or administrative expenses. State payroll taxes pay for all regular State unemployment benefits. The Federal unemployment tax (FUTA) pays the costs of Federal and State administration of the unemployment insurance system, veterans' employment services, surveys of wages and employment, and about 97 percent of the costs of the Employment Service. In addition, the Federal tax pays for certain extended benefit payments. During periods of high State unemployment, there is a stand-by program of extended benefits (EB), financed one-half by State unemployment taxes and one-half by the FUTA payroll tax, which are also paid out of the UTF. The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (Public Law 111–5), and subsequent legislation, has temporarily made EB 100 percent federally financed. Temporary Federal extended benefit programs, including the current Emergency Unemployment Compensation program, are also funded from the Unemployment Trust Fund, either by the Federal tax or by reimbursement from Federal general revenues. The UTF also provides repayable advances (loans) to the States when the balances in their individual State accounts are insufficient to pay benefits. Federal accounts in the UTF may receive repayable advances from the general fund when they have insufficient balances to make advances to States or to pay the Federal share of extended unemployment benefits.The Federal Employees Compensation Account (FECA) in the Trust Fund provides funds to States for unemployment compensation benefits paid to eligible former Federal civilian personnel, Postal Service employees, and ex-servicemembers. In turn, the various Federal agencies reimburse FECA for benefits paid to their former employees. FECA is not funded out of Federal unemployment taxes. Any additional resources necessary to assure that the FECA account can make the required payments to States will be provided from the Advances to the Unemployment Trust Fund and Other Funds account.Both the benefit payments and administrative expenses of the separate unemployment insurance program for railroad employees are paid from the Unemployment Trust Fund, and receipts from a tax on railroad payrolls are deposited into the Trust Fund to meet expenses.Legislative proposal to strengthen the unemployment insurance safety netThe economic downturn has severely tested the adequacy of States' unemployment insurance (UI) systems, forcing the majority of States to borrow to continue paying benefits. These debts are now being repaid through additional taxes on employers, which undermine much-needed job creation. To provide short-term relief to employers in these States, the 2012 Budget will propose a suspension of interest on State UI borrowing in 2011 and 2012 along with a suspension of the FUTA credit reduction, which is an automatic debt repayment mechanism. To address the need for States to return their unemployment trust funds to solvency, the Budget will also propose to increase the FUTA taxable wage base to $15,000 starting in 2014, to index it, and to reduce the FUTA tax rate. States with lower wage bases will need to adjust their UI tax structures. This package will encourage States to put their UI systems on a firmer financial footing for the future, while preventing unnecessary burden on employers in the short term as the economy recovers.

Legislative proposal, subject to PAYGO The Budget includes two legislative proposals for later transmittal that affect spending from the Unemployment Trust Fund. One proposal will create incentives for States to expand use of the Short-Time Compensation (STC) program. The STC program, also known as work sharing, promotes job retention and prevents workers from being laid off. Work sharing is a voluntary employer program designed to help employers maintain their staff by reducing the weekly hours of their employees, instead of temporarily laying off workers, when the employer is faced with a temporary slowdown in business. Workers with reduced hours under an approved STC plan receive a partial unemployment check to supplement the reduced paycheck. The Administration's proposal will provide temporary Federal financing of STC benefits for those States that have an STC law that meets certain guidelines. It will also create a temporary Federal program that will be available in other States and provide implementation funds for States to operate the program and conduct outreach to employers to expand use of STC.The other legislative proposal is a multi-part legislative initiative to strengthen the financial integrity of the Unemployment Insurance (UI) system and to encourage the early reemployment of UI beneficiaries. The proposal builds upon the enactment of two key components of last year's UI integrity proposal that expanded collection of delinquent UI overpayments and employer taxes through garnishment of Federal tax refunds and improved the accuracy of hiring data in the National Directory of New Hires. The Budget proposal will boost States' ability to recover benefit overpayments and deter tax evasion schemes by permitting them to use a portion of recovered funds to expand enforcement efforts in these areas, including identification of misclassified employees. In addition, the proposal would require States to impose a monetary penalty on UI benefits fraud, which would be used to reduce overpayments, and to prohibit the non-charging of benefits to employers' UI accounts if they are found to be at fault when their actions lead to overpayments. The proposal would also improve the utility and accuracy of hiring data in the National Directory of New Hires by requiring employers to report rehires of employees who have been laid off. These efforts to strengthen the financial integrity of the UI system and encourage early reemployment of UI beneficiaries will keep State UI taxes down and improve the solvency of the State trust funds.

Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation Fund pension benefit guaranty corporation fundThe Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation ("Corporation'') is authorized to make such expenditures, including financial assistance authorized by subtitle E of title IV of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, within limits of funds and borrowing authority available to the Corporation, and in accord with law, and to make such contracts and commitments without regard to fiscal year limitations, as provided by 31 U.S.C. 9104, as may be necessary in carrying out the program, including associated administrative expenses, through September 30, 20112012, for the Corporation: Provided, That none of the funds available to the Corporation for fiscal year 20112012 shall be available for obligations for administrative expenses in excess of $466,301,000 $476,901,000: Provided further, That to the extent that the number of new plan participants in plans terminated by the Corporation exceeds 100,000 in fiscal year 20112012, an amount not to exceed an additional $9,200,000 shall be available through September 30, 20122013 for obligation for administrative expenses for every 20,000 additional terminated participants: Provided further, That an additional $50,000 shall be made available through September 30, 20122013, for obligation for investment management fees for every $25,000,000 in assets received by the Corporation as a result of new plan terminations or asset growth, after approval by the Office of Management and Budget and notification of the Committees on Appropriations of the House of Representatives and the Senate: Provided further, That obligations in excess of the amounts provided in this paragraph may be incurred for unforeseen and extraordinary pretermination expenses or extraordinary multiemployer program-related expenses after approval by the Office of Management and Budget and notification of the Committees on Appropriations of the House of Representatives and the Senate. Note.—A full-year 2011 appropriation for this account was not enacted at the time the budget was prepared; therefore, this account is operating under a continuing resolution (P.L. 111–242, as amended). The amounts included for 2011 reflect the annualized level provided by the continuing resolution.This wholly-owned government corporation established under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, works to preserve defined benefit pension plans and administers mandatory insurance programs to prevent loss of pension benefits under private, defined benefit pension plans. PBGC currently protects the retirement of 44 million Americans in more than 27,500 ongoing pension plans. The 2012 Budget proposes to give the PBGC Board the authority to adjust premiums and directs them to take into account the risks that different sponsors pose to their retirees and PBGC. This proposal will both encourage companies to fully fund their pension benefits and ensure the agency's continued financial soundness. The Budget calls for giving the PBGC Board premium-setting authority beginning in 2014, and requires a gradual phase-in of any increases. Plan Preservation EffortsPBGC tries, first, to preserve plans and keep pension promises in the hands of the employers who make them. When companies undertake major transactions that might threaten their ability to pay pensions, PBGC negotiates protections for their pension plans. Last year PBGC negotiated with dozens of companies, both in bankruptcy and otherwise, to preserve their plans. These efforts played an important part in helping as many as 250,000 people who would have lost their pensions to keep them.Similarly, when major layoffs or plant closures threaten a plan's viability, PBGC steps in to negotiate protection for the plan. In FY 2010, PBGC secured an additional $250 million for participants in 20 companies' pension plans. Since 2006, PBGC has negotiated with sponsors for added protection totaling more than $644 million, strengthening the pensions of more than 76,000 workers and retirees. Stepping in to Insure Pensions When Plans FailWhen plans do fail, PBGC steps in to ensure that a portion of benefits continue to be paid. Over the years, PBGC has become responsible for almost 1.5 million people in 4,200 failed plans. Every month, on average, PBGC pays $467 million for the pensions of 801,000 retirees. PBGC is also responsible for future payments to almost 700,000 who have not yet retired. During FY 2010, PBGC assumed responsibility for 109,000 additional workers and retirees in 172 failed plans, and made 8.5 million payments totaling $5.6 billion. Budget activities:Single-employer benefit paymentsThe single-employer program protects about 33.8 million participants. Under this program, a company may voluntarily seek to terminate its plan, or PBGC may seek termination. The PBGC must seek termination when a plan cannot pay current benefits. A plan that cannot pay all benefits may be ended by a "distress" termination, but only if the employer meets tests proving severe financial distress, such as proving that continuing the plan would force the company to go out of business. If a terminated plan cannot pay at least the PBGC-guaranteed level of benefits, PBGC uses its funds to ensure that guaranteed benefits are paid. A sponsor may terminate a plan in a "standard'' termination only if plan assets are sufficient to pay all benefits. In a standard termination, the sponsor closes out the plan by purchasing annuities from an insurance company or by paying benefits in a lump sum. After a standard termination, the PBGC guarantee ends. Multiemployer financial assistance The multiemployer insurance program protects about 10.4 million participants. Multiemployer pension plans are maintained under collectively bargained agreements involving unrelated employers, generally of the same industry. If a PBGC-insured multiemployer plan is unable to pay guaranteed benefits when due, the PBGC will provide the plan with financial assistance to continue paying guaranteed benefits, in the form of a loan to the plan. Pension insurance activitiesThis part of the administrative budget includes premium collections, purchase of U.S. Treasury securities using premium receipts, pre-trusteeship work, efforts to preserve pension plans, recovery of assets from former plan sponsors, and pension insurance program protection activities. This part of the administrative budget includes all activities related to trusteeship; plan asset management, investment and accounting; as well as benefit payments and administration services.This part of the administrative budget includes the administrative, information technology infrastructure, and other shared program support for both PBGC's insurance and plan termination activities. The primary sources of financing are investment income, insurance premiums paid by sponsors of ongoing covered plans, plan assets from failed plans, and recoveries from sponsors of failed plans. When an underfunded single-employer pension plan is terminated, PBGC takes over the assets of those plans. In FY 2010, PBGC assumed $1.8 billion in assets from failed plans, and recovered additional assets of $246 million from plan sponsors to help pay for benefits. The following tables show the status of PBGC's trust funds and PBGC's operating results.Program and Financing(in millions of dollars)Identification code 16–4204–0–3–6012010 actualCR2012 est.

Legislative proposal, subject to PAYGO Employment Standards Administration In FY 2010, the Department of Labor abolished the Employment Standards Administration (ESA) to streamline administration of the programs. As the Department is reinvigorating its enforcement of worker protection laws, this reorganization supports the Administration's Worker Protection efforts by eliminating redundant management efforts by elevating program issues directly to the Secretarial level. It also reflects the importance of these programs and increased enforcement supporting the Secretary's Worker Protection goals. In the 2012 Budget, funding previously requested for the component agencies and offices under the heading "Employment Standards Administration Salaries and Expenses" is requested separately for the Office of Workers' Compensation Programs, Wage and Hour Division, Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs, and Office of Labor-Management Standards.The appropriation for the Employment Standards Administration is proposed to be replaced by four individual appropriations for the Agencies remaining after reorganization of these programs.Program and Financing(in millions of dollars)Identification code 16–0105–0–1–5052010 actualCR2012 est.

Note.—A full-year 2011 appropriation for this account was not enacted at the time the budget was prepared; therefore, this account is operating under a continuing resolution (P.L. 111–242, as amended). The amounts included for 2011 reflect the annualized level provided by the continuing resolution.Federal Employees' Compensation Act benefitsThe Federal Employees' Compensation Act program provides monetary and medical benefits to Federal workers who sustain work-related injury or disease. Not all benefits are paid by the program, since the first 45 days of disability are usually covered by keeping injured workers in pay status with their employing agencies (the continuation-of-pay period). In 2012, 126,000 injured Federal workers or their survivors are projected to file claims; 49,000 are projected to receive long-term wage replacement benefits for job-related injuries, diseases, or deaths. Most of the costs of this account are charged back to the beneficiaries' employing agencies. FEDERAL EMPLOYEES' COMPENSATION WORKLOAD2010 actual2011 est.2012 est.

Legislative proposal, subject to PAYGO The 2012 Budget incorporates longstanding General Accounting Office, Congressional Budget Office, and Labor Inspector General recommendations, amending FECA to convert prospectively retirement-age beneficiaries to a retirement annuity-level benefit, establish an up-front waiting period for benefits, streamline claims processing, permit the Department of Labor to recapture compensation costs from responsible third parties, authorize DOL to cross-match FECA records with Social Security records to reduce improper payments, and make other changes to improve and update FECA. The 2012 reform legislation will also include a provision to allow DOL to add an administrative surcharge to the amount billed to Federal agencies for their FECA compensation costs, thereby shifting FECA administrative costs from DOL to Federal agencies in proportion to their usage. If enacted, the surcharge would not be applied until Fiscal Year 2013 to give agencies an opportunity to plan for the change. The legislation would save more than $280 million over a 10-year period, and more than $400 million on a Government-wide basis.Program and Financing(in millions of dollars)Identification code 16–1521–4–1–6002010 actualCR2012 est.

Energy Employees Occupational Illness Compensation Fund Energy Employees' Compensation Act benefitsThe Department of Labor is delegated responsibility to adjudicate and administer claims for benefits under the Energy Employees Occupational Illness Compensation Program Act of 2000 (EEOICPA). In July 2001, the program began accepting claims from employees or survivors of employees of the Department of Energy (DOE) and of private companies under contract with DOE who suffer from a radiation-related cancer, beryllium-related disease, or chronic silicosis as a result of their work in producing or testing nuclear weapons. The Act authorizes a lump-sum payment of $150,000 and reimbursement of medical expenses.The Ronald Reagan National Defense Authorization Act of 2005 (P.L. 108–767) amended EEOICPA, giving DOL responsibility for a new program (Part E) to pay workers' compensation benefits to DOE contractors and their families for illness and death arising from toxic exposures in DOE's nuclear weapons complex. This law also provides compensation for uranium workers covered under section 5 of the Radiation Exposure Compensation Act. Benefit payments under Part E began in 2005.

Note.—A full-year 2011 appropriation for this account was not enacted at the time the budget was prepared; therefore, this account is operating under a continuing resolution (P.L. 111–242, as amended). The amounts included for 2011 reflect the annualized level provided by the continuing resolution.Energy Employees Occupational Illness Compensation Program Act of 2000 (EEOICPA) administrationUnder Executive Order 13179 the Secretary of Labor is assigned primary responsibility for administering the EEOICPA program, while other responsibilities have been delegated to the Departments of Health and Human Services (HHS), Energy (DOE), and Justice (DOJ). The Office of Workers' Compensation Programs (OWCP) in the Department of Labor (DOL) is responsible for claims adjudication, and award and payment of compensation and medical benefits. DOL's Office of the Solicitor provides legal support and represents the Department in claimant appeals of OWCP decisions. HHS is responsible for developing individual dose reconstructions to estimate occupational radiation exposure, and developing regulations to guide DOL's determination of whether an individual's cancer was caused by radiation exposure at a DOE or atomic weapons facility. DOE is responsible for providing exposure histories at employment facilities covered under the Act, and other employment information. DOJ assists claimants who have been awarded compensation under the Radiation Exposure Compensation Act to file for additional compensation, including medical benefits, under EEOICPA. The Ronald Reagan National Defense Authorization Act of 2005 (P.L. 108–767) amended EEOICPA, giving DOL responsibility for a new program (Part E) to pay workers' compensation benefits to DOE contractors and their families for illness and death arising from toxic exposures in DOE's nuclear weapons complex. This law also provides compensation for uranium workers covered by the Radiation Exposure Compensation Act. Administrative expenses for Part E are covered through indefinite, mandatory appropriations provided in P.L. 108–767.Program and Financing(in millions of dollars)Identification code 16–1524–0–1–0532010 actualCR2012 est.

Note.—A full-year 2011 appropriation for this account was not enacted at the time the budget was prepared; therefore, this account is operating under a continuing resolution (P.L. 111–242, as amended). The amounts included for 2011 reflect the annualized level provided by the continuing resolution.Title IV of the Federal Mine Safety and Health Act authorizes monthly benefits to coal miners disabled due to coal workers' pneumoconiosis (black lung), and to their widows and certain other dependents.

Panama Canal Commission Compensation Fund This fund was established to provide for the accumulation of funds to meet the Panama Canal Commission's obligations to defray costs of workers' compensation which will accrue pursuant to the Federal Employees' Compensation Act (FECA). On December 31, 1999, the Commission was dissolved as set forth in the Panama Canal Treaty of 1977; however, the liability of the Commission for payments beyond that date did not end with its termination. The establishment of this fund, into which funds were deposited on a regular basis by the Commission, was in conjunction with the transfer of the administration of the Federal Employees' Compensation Act (FECA) program from the Commission to the Department of Labor, effective January 1, 1989.Special and Trust Fund Receipts(in millions of dollars)Identification code 16–5155–0–2–6022010 actualCR2012 est.

Black Lung Disability Trust Fund black lung disability trust fund(including transfer of funds)In fiscal year 2011 2012, such sums as may be necessary from the Black Lung Disability Trust Fund ("Fund''), to remain available until expended, for payment of all benefits authorized by section 9501(d)(1), (2), (6), and (7) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986; and repayment of, and payment of interest on advances, as authorized by section 9501 (d)(4) of that Act. In addition, the following amounts may be expended from the Fund for fiscal year 2011 2012 for expenses of operation and administration of the Black Lung Benefits program, as authorized by section 9501(d)(5): not to exceed $33,075,000 $32,906,000 for transfer to the Office of Workers' Compensation Programs "Salaries and Expenses''; not to exceed $25,394,000 $25,217,000 for transfer to Departmental Management, "Salaries and Expenses''; not to exceed $327,000 for transfer to Departmental Management, "Office of Inspector General''; and not to exceed $356,000 for payments into miscellaneous receipts for the expenses of the Department of the Treasury. Note.—A full-year 2011 appropriation for this account was not enacted at the time the budget was prepared; therefore, this account is operating under a continuing resolution (P.L. 111–242, as amended). The amounts included for 2011 reflect the annualized level provided by the continuing resolution.The trust fund consists of all monies collected from the coal mine industry under the provisions of the Black Lung Benefits Revenue Act of 1981, as amended by the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985, in the form of an excise tax on mined coal. These moneys are expended to pay compensation, medical, and survivor benefits to eligible miners and their survivors, where mine employment terminated prior to 1970 or where no mine operator can be assigned liability. In addition, the fund pays all administrative costs incurred in the operation of Part C of the Black Lung program. The fund is administered jointly by the Secretaries of Labor, Treasury, and Health and Human Services. The Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008, enacted on October 3, 2008, authorized restructuring of the Black Lung Disability Trust Fund (BLDTF) debt by (1) extending the current coal excise tax rates of $1.10 per ton on underground-mined coal and $0.55 per ton on surface-mined coal until December 31, 2018; (2) providing a one-time appropriation for the BLDTF to repay the market value of parts of the outstanding repayable advances and accrued interest; and (3) refinancing the remainder of the outstanding debt through the issuance of zero-coupon bonds, to be retired using the BLDTF's annual operating surplus until all of its remaining obligations have been paid. The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) of 2010 reinstated two provisions of the Black Lung Benefits Act that had been removed in 1981 for claims filed on or after January 1, 1982. These provisions include: automatic entitlement to benefits for survivors of miners who had been awarded benefits at the time of their death and a presumption that a miner who has at least 15 years of qualifying coal mine employment and has a totally disabling lung condition has pneumoconiosis even in the absence of a negative x-ray.BLACK LUNG DISABILITY TRUST FUND WORKLOAD2010 actual2011 est.2012 est.

Special Workers' Compensation Expenses The trust funds consist of amounts received from employers for the death of an employee where no person is entitled to compensation for such death, for fines and penalty payments, and— pursuant to an annual assessment of the industry— for the general expenses of the fund under the Longshore and Harbor Workers' Compensation Act (LHWCA), as amended.These trust funds are available for payments of additional compensation for second injuries. When a second injury is combined with a previous disability and results in increased permanent partial disability, permanent total disability, or death, the employer's liability for benefits is limited to a specified period of compensation payments, after which the fund provides continuing compensation benefits. In addition, the fund pays one-half of the increased benefits provided under the LHWCA for persons on the rolls prior to 1972. Maintenance payments are made to disabled employees undergoing vocational rehabilitation to enable them to return to remunerative occupations, and the costs of necessary rehabilitation services not otherwise available to disabled workers are defrayed. Payments are made in cases where other circumstances preclude payment by an employer and to provide medical, surgical, and other treatment in disability cases where there has been a default by the insolvency of an uninsured employer.Special and Trust Fund Receipts(in millions of dollars)Identification code 16–9971–0–7–6012010 actualCR2012 est.

In 2012, approximately 200,000 persons are expected to be aided under the FLSA through securing agreements with firms to pay back wages owed to their workers. In government contract compliance actions, about 22,000 persons will be aided through securing agreements to pay wages owed to workers. Under MSPA, approximately 1,400 investigations will be completed. In the course of all on-site investigations, investigators will routinely check for employer compliance with child labor standards, and approximately 1,000 targeted child labor investigations will be conducted.

Before any standard is proposed or promulgated, a determination is made that: (1) a significant risk of serious injury or health impairment exists; (2) the standard will reduce this risk; (3) the standard is economically and technologically feasible; and (4) the standard is economically and technologically feasible when compared with alternative regulatory proposals providing equal levels of protection. This activity also ensures, through the SBREFA process, that small business concerns are taken into account in the process of developing standards.This activity provides for ensuring the protection of employees through the enforcement of workplace standards promulgated under the Occupational Safety and Health (OSH) Act of 1970, through the physical inspection of worksites, and by providing guidance on how to comply with the requirements of OSHA standards. Enforcement programs are targeted to the investigation of imminent danger situations and employee complaints, investigation of fatal and catastrophic accidents, programmed inspections of firms with injury-illness rates that are above the national average, and special emphasis inspections for serious safety and health hazards. OSHA's enforcement strategy ranges from a selective targeting of inspections and related compliance activities to specific high hazard industries and worksites.This activity provides for the enforcement of Section 11(c) of the OSH Act, which prohibits any person from discharging or in any manner retaliating against any employee because the employee has exercised rights under the Act, including complaining to OSHA and seeking an OSHA inspection, participating in an OSHA inpection, and participating or testifying in any proceeding related to an OSHA inspection. This activity also includes the administration of twenty other whistleblower statutes, protecting employees who report violations of various airline, commercial motor carrier, consumer product, environmental, financial reform, health care reform, nuclear, pipeline, public transportation agency, railroad, maritime, and securities laws.This activity supports states in assuming responsibility for administering occupational safety and health programs under State OSHA plans approved by the Secretary. Under section 23 of the OSH Act, grants matching up to fifty percent of total program costs are made to States that meet the Act's criteria for establishing and implementing State OSHA programs that are at least as effective as the Federal program. State programs, like their Federal counterparts, provide a mix of enforcement, outreach, training, and compliance assistance activities.This activity provides specialized technical expertise and advice in support of a wide range of program areas, including construction, standards setting, variance determinations, compliance assistance, and enforcement. Areas of expertise include laboratory accreditation, industrial hygiene, occupational health nursing, occupational medicine, chemical analysis, equipment calibration, safety engineering, environmental impact statements, technical and scientific databases, computer-based outreach products, and emergency preparedness. Federal Compliance AssistanceThis activity supports a range of training, outreach, and cooperative programs that provide compliance assistance for employers and employees in protecting workers' safety and health, with particular emphasis on small business, immigrant, and other high risk and hard-to-reach workers. OSHA works with employers and employees through Voluntary Protection Programs that recognize and promote effective safety and health management partnerships that focus on the development of extended cooperative relationships and alliances that commit organizations to collaborative efforts with OSHA. This activity also provides assistance to federal agencies in implementing and improving their job safety and health programs. Occupational safety and health training is provided at the OSHA Training Institute and affiliated Education Centers throughout the country. Compliance and technical assistance materials are prepared and disseminated to the public through various means, including the Internet.State Compliance Assistance: Consultation GrantsThis activity supports 90 percent Federally funded cooperative agreements with designated State agencies to provide free on-site consultation to small employers upon request. State agencies tailor workplans to specific needs in each State while maximizing their impact on injury and illness rates in smaller establishments. These projects offer a variety of services, including safety and health program assessment and assistance, hazard identification and control, and training of employers and their employees.Compliance Assistance: Training GrantsThis activity supports safety and health grants to organizations that provide training, education, technical assistance, and develop educational materials for employers and employees. These grants address safety and health education needs related to specific high-risk topics and industries identified by the agency.Safety and Health StatisticsThis activity supports information technology infrastructure, management of information, and the statistical basis for OSHA's programs and field operations. These are provided through an integrated data network, and statistical analysis and review. OSHA administers and maintains the recordkeeping system that serves as the foundation for the BLS survey on occupational injuries and illnesses and provides guidance on recordkeeping requirements to both the public and private sectors.Executive direction and administrationThis activity supports executive direction, planning and evaluation, management support, legislative liaison, interagency affairs, federal agency liaison, administrative services, and budgeting and financial control.PROGRAM STATISTICS2010 actual2011 est.2012 est.

Under the JVA, resources are allocated to States to support Disabled Veterans Outreach Program (DVOP) specialists and Local Veterans' Employment Representatives (LVERs).Disabled Veterans Outreach Program specialists (38 U.S.C. 4103A) provide intensive services to meet the employment needs of eligible veterans. DVOPs place maximum emphasis on helping economically or educationally disadvantaged veterans. Priority of service (38 U.S.C. 4215) is given to special disabled veterans, other disabled veterans, and other eligible veterans. Local Veterans' Employment Representatives (38 U.S.C. 4104) conduct outreach to employers as well as assist veterans in gaining employment by conducting job search workshops and establishing job search support groups. LVERs also facilitate employment, training, and placement services provided to veterans under the applicable State employment service delivery system, including One-Stop Career Centers. In addition, each LVER provides reports to the manager of the State employment service delivery system and to the State Director for Veterans Employment and Training (38 U.S.C. 4103) regarding the State's compliance with Federal law and regulations with respect to special services and priorities for eligible veterans.Transition Assistance ProgramThis program provides employment workshops for departing service members in the continental U.S. and at major overseas installations. VETS coordinates with the Departments of Defense, Veterans Affairs, and Homeland Security to provide transition services to military service members separating from active duty. TAP is implemented worldwide and provides labor-market and employment-related information and other services to separating service members and their spouses. The goal of TAP is to expedite and facilitate the transition from military to civilian employment.VETS' Federal management budget activity carries out programs and develops policies to provide veterans the maximum employment and training opportunities (38 U.S.C. 4102–4103A) and to investigate complaints received under the Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act (USERRA) (38 USC 4322). Veterans' Preference activities, which are intended to assist veterans in obtaining Federal employment (39 U.S.C. 4214), are also supported under this activity.Resources under this activity are also used to evaluate the job training and employment assistance services provided to veterans under the Jobs for Veterans State Grants (38 USC 4102A), the Homeless Veterans Reintegration Program (Section 738 of the Stewart B. McKinney Homeless Assistance Act (MHAA) of July 1987, and amended by Section 5 of the Homeless Veterans Comprehensive Assistance Act (HVCAA of 2001), and the Veterans Workforce Investment Program (Section 168, Workforce Investment Act, P.L. 105–220). This budget activity supports field activities and personnel who provide technical assistance to grantees to ensure they meet negotiated and mandated performance goals and other grant provisions. This budget activity also supports the oversight and development of policies for the Transition Assistance Program (10 USC 1144 and 38 USC 4113). The activity funds outreach and education efforts, such as job fairs, that raise the awareness of employers about the benefits of hiring veterans. The activities of the Advisory Committee for Veterans Employment, Training, and Employer Outreach (38 USC 4110) also are supported. The REALifeLines initiative facilitates timely and comprehensive employment services to our Nation's severely wounded and injured veterans. National Veterans' Employment and Training Services InstituteThe National Veterans' Training Institute (NVTI) supplies competency-based training to Federal and State providers of services to veterans (38 U.S.C. 4109). NVTI also provides training for Veterans Employment and Training Service personnel. NVTI is administered through a contract and supported by dedicated funds. NVTI ensures that these service providers receive a comprehensive foundation so they can effectively assist job-seeking veterans. Homeless Veterans' Reintegration ProgramThe Homeless Veterans' Reintegration Program (HVRP) (38 U.S.C. 2021) provides grants to States or other public entities, as well as to non-profits, including faith-based organizations. Grant awards enable grantees to operate employment programs to reach out to homeless veterans and help them become employed. VETS partners with the Departments of Veterans Affairs and Housing and Urban Development to promote multi-agency-funded programs that integrate the different services needed by homeless veterans. HVRP grants are provided for both urban and rural areas.Veterans' Workforce Investment ProgramThe Veterans' Workforce Investment Program (VWIP) (Section 168 of P.L. 105–220) provides competitive grants geared toward training and retraining to create employment opportunities for veterans in high-skill occupations, and to meet employer demands.
