(Department of Labor Appropriations Act, 2012.)Enacted in 1998, the Workforce Investment Act (WIA) is the primary authorization for this appropriation account. WIA expired on September 30, 2003. The Act is intended to provide workers with the information, advice, job search assistance, and training they need to get and keep good jobs; and to provide employers with skilled workers. Funds appropriated for this account generally are available on a July- to- June program year basis, and include substantial advance appropriation amounts. This account includes: Adult employment and training activitiesGrants to provide financial assistance to States and territories to design and operate training and employment assistance programs for adults, including low-income individuals and public assistance recipients. Dislocated worker employment and training activitiesGrants to provide reemployment services and retraining assistance to individuals dislocated from their employment. Grants to support a wide range of activities and services to prepare low-income youth for academic and employment success, including summer and year-round jobs. The program links academic and occupational learning with youth development activities. Workforce Innovation FundProvides $100 million to support competitive grants to test innovative strategies and replicate evidence-based practices in the workforce system. The Fund will support cross-program collaboration and bold systemic reforms to improve education and employment outcomes for participants. The Administration intends to set aside at least $10 million of the funds for programmatic innovations targeting disconnected youth, with a particular focus on youth under age 20. This effort to serve disconnected youth will be coordinated with funds from the Departments of Education and Health and Human Services. A portion of the Fund may also be used for Pay for Success financing to engage social investors, the Federal government, and a State or local community to collaboratively support effective interventions. The Departments of Labor and Education will coordinate the administration of the Fund, which also includes $25 million in the Department of Education budget. These funds support research, labor exchange, and job training projects that help prepare workers for careers related to renewable energy and energy efficiency.

(Department of Labor Appropriations Act, 2012.)The Office of Job Corps supports the administration and management of the Job Corps program. Established in 1964 as part of the Economic Opportunity Act and authorized by the Workforce Investment Act of 1998 (P.L. 105–220, Title 1, Subtitle C, section 141), Job Corps is the nation's largest federally-funded, primarily residential, training program for at-risk youth, ages 16–24. With 125 centers currently in 48 states, Puerto Rico, and the District of Columbia, Job Corps provides economically disadvantaged youth with academic, career technical and employability skills to enter the workforce, enroll in post-secondary education, or enlist in the military. Serving approximately 60,000 participants each year, Job Corps emphasizes the attainment of academic credentials, including a High School Diploma (HSD) and/or General Educational Development (GED), and career technical credentials, including industry-recognized certifications, state licensures, and pre-apprenticeship credentials. These portable credentials provide for long-term attachment to the workforce and economic mobility as Job Corps graduates advance through their careers. They ensure that program graduates have gained the skills and knowledge necessary to compete in today's workforce. Large and small businesses, nonprofit organizations, and American Indian tribes manage and operate 97 of the Job Corps centers through contractual agreements with the Department of Labor, while the remaining 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 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 traning, or intensive counseling and related assistance in order to participate successfully in regular schoolwork or to secure and hold employment. The 2013 Budget introduces bold reforms to strengthen Job Corps and improve its outcomes and cost-effectiveness. Specifically, the Administration intends to move toward having Job Corps centers in every state, but close by program year 2013 chronically low-performing centers, selected using criteria that will be published in advance. The Administration will also shift the program's focus and approach based on evaluation findings, strengthen the performance measurement system, and provide information to the public about each Job Corps center's performance in a more transparent way.

(Department of Labor Appropriations Act, 2012.)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 2013 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, which received appropriations in the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010 (Section 1501 of P.L. 111–152, 124 Stat.1070), 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 16–0187–0–1–5042011 actual2012 est.2013 est.

Federal Unemployment Benefits and Allowances Federal Unemployment Benefits and AllowancesFor payments during fiscal year 2012 2013 of trade adjustment benefit payments and allowances under part I of subchapter B of chapter 2 of title II of the Trade Act of 1974, and section 246 of that Act; and for training, employment and case management services, allowances for job search and relocation, and related State administrative expenses under part II of subchapter B of chapter 2 of title II of the Trade Act of 1974, including benefit payments, allowances, training, employment and case management services, and related State administration provided pursuant to section 231(a) of the Trade Adjustment Assistance Extension Act of 2011, $1,100,100,000 $1,421,000,000, together with such amounts as may be necessary to be charged to the subsequent appropriation for payments for any period subsequent to September 15, 2012 2013. (Department of Labor Appropriations Act, 2012.)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) extended through February 12, 2011 under the Omnibus Trade Act of 2010, and extended again through December 31, 2013 under the Trade Adjustment Assistance Extension Act (TAAEA) of 2011. Under these laws, workers covered by petitions for the TAA program filed between May 18, 2009 and February 13, 2011, were considered under expanded group eligibility provisions (e.g., workers in the service sector were eligible), and the covered workers could be eligible for enhanced services and benefits, including additional weeks of cash benefits, while in training and for the RTAA program . Applications filed between February 13, 2011 and October 21, 2011, were administered under prior law, as if the amendments made under the TGAAA and the Omnibus Trade Act of 2010 had never been enacted. Applications filed on or after October 21, 2011 will once again be administered under expanded eligibility provisions of the TAAEA of 2011.

Legislative proposal, subject to PAYGO The Budget includes a legislative proposal to extend the Emergency Unemployment Compensation program and 100 percent Federal funding of Extended Benefits for 10 months. Please see the narrative for the "Unemployment Trust Fund," Legislative proposal, subject to PAYGO, for additional information. The extension of these unemployment insurance programs has interaction effects with this account. Specifically, Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA) beneficiaries must exhaust all of their unemployment benefits prior to collecting Trade Readjustment Allowances. As a result of the unemployment insurance legislation, spending on TAA benefits is projected to decline.Program and Financing(in millions of dollars)Identification code 16–0326–4–1–9992011 actual2012 est.2013 est.

(Department of Labor Appropriations Act, 2012.)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 $75 million requested for reemployment and eligibility assessments is estimated to provide benefit savings of $285 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 cap adjustments, a mechanism that has been used by past Administrations and Congresses. Cap 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 $60 million and if the use of the funds was clearly restricted to the specified purpose. The 2013 Budget proposes to amend the Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985, as amended by the Budget Control Act of 2011, to adjust the discretionary spending limits in the Act for administrative program integrity activities at DOL. These adjustments would be similar in nature to those enacted for the Social Security Administration and the Department of Health and Human Services for Medicare and Medicaid.

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.

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.National Agricultural Workers Survey feeThe Department of Labor conducts the National Agricultural Workers Survey (NAWS), which collects information annually about the demographic, employment, and health characteristics of the U.S. crop labor force. The information is obtained directly from farm workers through face-to-face interviews. The Administration proposes to charge non-Federal entities on a case-by-case basis the cost of conducting specifically requested data collection or analysis. For example, State and local governments, educational institutions, or non-profit organizations may pay a fee to fund the addition of a question to the standard survey.

Legislative proposal, subject to PAYGO The 2013 Budget proposes legislation to build on the American Jobs Act by funding initiatives that aggressively address long-term unemployment and provide new opportunities to put Americans back to work. This proposal includes:Provides $4 billion for the Reemployment NOW fund, which gives the States flexibility to institute innovative approaches to better connect Emergency Unemployment Compensation (EUC) claimants with job opportunities. With Reemployment NOW, States will be able to implement Bridge to Work programs to give EUC claimants valuable on-the-job experience and will also be able to offer claimants wage insurance and other intensive reemployment services. This fund is paired with the Administration's support for extending federally funded benefits through December 2012. Invests in subsidized employment and work-based training programs targeting long-term unemployed and low-income Americans. Community College InitiativeProvides $8 billion in the Departments of Education and Labor to support State and community college partnerships with businesses to build the skills of American workers.Program and Financing(in millions of dollars)Identification code 16–0171–4–1–5042011 actual2012 est.2013 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. 112–78). 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, 2013 2014. (Department of Labor Appropriations Act, 2012.) 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) when 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 2011, and the need is expected 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 2013 request continues this authority.Program and Financing(in millions of dollars)Identification code 16–0327–0–1–6002011 actual2012 est.2013 est.

The Budget also proposes legislation to allow the Department to retain fees for certified applications under the H-2A temporary labor certification program and modify the fee to cover program costs. The fees would partially offset the State and Federal costs of administering these programs and once fully implemented would greatly reduce 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 16–5507–4–2–5052011 actual2012 est.2013 est.

1001Direct civilian full-time equivalent employment2
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 are 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 2013 Budget will propose a suspension of interest on State UI borrowing in 2012 and 2013 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 2015, 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. The impact of this proposal is on several receipt accounts that feed into the UTF, including FUTA deposits, deposits of State unemployment taxes into the UTF, and interest on loans.

Legislative proposal, subject to PAYGO The Budget includes three legislative proposals for later transmittal that affect spending from the Unemployment Trust Fund.The first proposal will extend the Emergency Unemployment Compensation (EUC) program along with 100 percent Federal funding of the Extended Benefits program. These important safety nets for the unemployed were most recently extended in the Temporary Payroll Tax Cut Continuation Act of 2011. Under this Act, EUC expires on March 6, 2012, and the Extended Benefits provisions expire March 7, 2012; both programs have phase-out provisions. The Budget will propose a ten-month extension of these programs. The second proposal will fund States to conduct Reemployment and Eligibility Assessments and provide Reemployment Services to unemployed workers when they first enter the EUC or move from one benefit tier to the next. The goal of this proposal is to provide EUC claimants with the assistance they need to return to work. The third proposal will create incentives for States to expand use of the Short-Term 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 laying them off, when the employer is faced wtih 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.Program and Financing(in millions of dollars)Identification code 16–8042–4–7–9992011 actual2012 est.2013 est.

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, 2012 2013, for the Corporation: Provided, That none of the funds available to the Corporation for fiscal year 2012 2013 shall be available for obligations for administrative expenses in excess of $476,901,000 $479,013,000: 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 2012 2013, an amount not to exceed an additional $9,200,000 shall be available through September 30, 2013 2014, 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, 2013 2014, 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. (Department of Labor Appropriations Act, 2012.) The Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation is a federal corporation established under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended. It guarantees payment of basic pension benefits earned by more than 44 million of America's workers and retirees participating in more than 27,000 private-sector defined pension plans. The Corporation receives no funds from general tax revenues. Operations are financed by insurance premiums paid by companies that sponsor defined benefit pension plans, investment income, and assets from terminated plans. The 2013 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, includes a one-year study and public comment period that would help implementation, 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. Similarly, when major layoffs or plant closures threaten a plan's viability, PBGC steps in to negotiate protection for the plan. In FY 2011, PBGC helped protect 74,000 people by encouraging companies in bankruptcy not to terminate their plans, negotiated $195 million in incresed protection for over 200,000 plan participants at risk from corporate transactions, and secured $370 million on behalf of people whose companies down-sized. 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 4,300 failed plans. In FY 2011 PBGC paid nearly $5.5 billion for approximately 873,000 retirees in more than 4,300 failed plans (an additional 628,000 workers will receive benefits when they retire), became responsible for more than 57,000 people in failed plans, and started paying benefits to an additional 15,000 retirees, on time and without missing a single payment. Budget activities:Single-employer benefit paymentsThe single-employer program protects about 34 million workers and retirees in about 25,000 pension plans. 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 million workers and retirees in about 1,500 pension plans. 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 (a loan to the plan) to continue paying guaranteed benefits.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 operational support activity includes the operations of the Inspector General and a request for funding in the amount of $6,182,000 to support the required functions and efforts of the office, including training and CIGIE.

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. The Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2012 (P.L. 112–74) accepted the Administration's proposal to replace the appropriation for the Employment and Standards Administration by four individual appropriations for the component agencies and offices previously under the heading "Employment Standards Administration Salaries and Expenses." In the 2013 Budget, funding 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.Program and Financing(in millions of dollars)Identification code 16–0105–0–1–5052011 actual2012 est.2013 est.

(Department of Labor Appropriations Act, 2012.)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 2013, 120,000 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 WORKLOAD2011 actual2012 est.2013 est.

Legislative proposal, subject to PAYGO The 2013 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 2013 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 2014 to give agencies an opportunity to plan for the change. The legislation would save more than $500 million over a 10-year period.

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.

Administrative Expenses, Energy Employees Occupational Illness Compensation Fund Administrative Expenses, Energy Employees Occupational Illness Compensation FundFor necessary expenses to administer the Energy Employees Occupational Illness Compensation Program Act, $52,147,000 $54,962,000, to remain available until expended: Provided, That the Secretary may require that any person filing a claim for benefits under the Act provide as part of such claim such identifying information (including Social Security account number) as may be prescribed. (Department of Labor Appropriations Act, 2012.)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 16–1524–0–1–0532011 actual2012 est.2013 est.

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 16–5155–0–2–6022011 actual2012 est.2013 est.

Black Lung Disability Trust Fund Black Lung Disability Trust Fund(including transfer of funds)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 2012 2013 for expenses of operation and administration of the Black Lung Benefits program, as authorized by section 9501(d)(5): not to exceed $32,906,000 for transfer to the Office of Workers' Compensation Programs, "Salaries and Expenses''; not to exceed $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. (Department of Labor Appropriations Act, 2012.)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 WORKLOAD2011 actual2012 est.2013 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 16–9971–0–7–6012011 actual2012 est.2013 est.

(Department of Labor Appropriations Act, 2012.)Safety and Health StandardsThis activity provides for the protection of workers' safety and health through development, promulgation, review, and evaluation of occupational safety and health standards and guidance, as specified under the Occupational Safety and Health (OSH) Act of 1970. 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. This activity also provides support for OSHA's emergency response activities, including responses to oil spills, hurricanes, tornados, and other natural or man-made disasters. 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 and medium-sized 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 face-to-face training, education, technical assistance, and develop educational materials for employers and employees. These grants address safety and health education needs related to hard-to-reach workers and specific high-risk topics and industries identified by the agency.Safety and Health StatisticsThis activity supports information technology infrastructure, management of information, OSHA's webpage and web-based compliance assistance services, 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 STATISTICS2011 actual2012 est.2013 est.

Holmes Safety Association as a principal safety association and, notwithstanding any other provision of law, may provide funds and, with or without reimbursement, personnel, including service of Mine Safety and Health Administration officials as officers in local chapters or in the national organization; and any funds available to the Department of Labor may be used, with the approval of the Secretary, to provide for the costs of mine rescue and survival operations in the event of a major disaster; and the Secretary may reallocate among the items funded under this heading up to $3,000,000 to support inspections or investigations pursuant to section 103 of the Federal Mine Safety and Health Act of 1977. (Department of Labor Appropriations Act, 2012.)The enforcement strategy in 2013 will be an integrated approach toward the prevention of mining accidents, injuries, and occupational illnesses. This includes inspection of mines and other activities as mandated by the Federal Mine Safety and Health Act of 1977 (Mine Act), as amended by the Mine Improvement and New Emergency Response Act of 2006 (MINER Act), special emphasis initiatives that focus on persistent safety and health hazards, promulgation of federal mine safety and health standards, investigation of serious accidents, and on-site education and training. The desired outcome of these enforcement efforts is to prevent death, disease, and injury from mining and promote safe and healthful workplaces for the Nation's miners. In FY 2013, MSHA is proposing appropriations language that would provide the agency with additional flexibility to internally reallocate funding to ensure the enforcement programs have the necessary resources to effectively conduct mandated inspections or investigations.Assessments, Accountability, Special Enforcement and InvestigationsThis activity was formerly called the Office of Assessments. This activity assesses and collects civil monetary penalties for violations of safety and health standards and manages MSHA's accountability, special enforcement, and investigation functions. Educational policy and developmentThis activity develops and coordinates MSHA's mine safety and health education and training policies, and provides classroom instruction at the National Mine Health and Safety Academy for MSHA personnel, other governmental personnel, and the mining industry. States provide mine health and safety training materials, and provide technical assistance through the State Grants program.This activity applies engineering and scientific expertise through field and laboratory forensic investigations to resolve technical problems associated with implementing the Mine Act and the MINER Act. Technical support administers a fee program to approve equipment, materials, and explosives for use in mines and performs field and laboratory audits of equipment previously approved by MSHA. It also collects and analyzes data relative to the cause, frequency, and circumstances of mine accidents. In FY 2013, MSHA is proposing appropriations language that would authorize the agency to charge a fee for the analysis of rock dust samples for determination of compliance. As full implementation of this authority will require rulemaking that will not commence until the authority has been provided, MSHA does not anticipate beginning to collect fees until FY 2014. Program evaluation and information resources (PEIR)This activity provides program evaluation and information technology resource management services for the agency.This activity performs general administrative functions and is responsible for meeting the requirements of the Government Performance and Results Act (GPRA) and developing MSHA's performance plan and Annual Performance Report.PROGRAM STATISTICS2011 actual2012 est.2013 est.

Veterans Employment and Training Veterans Employment and TrainingNot to exceed $212,060,000 $220,685,000 may be derived from the Employment Security Administration Account in the Unemployment Trust Fund to carry out the provisions of 38 U.S.C. 4100–4113, 4211–4215, and 4321–4327, and Public Law 103–353, and which shall be available for obligation by the States through December 31, 2012 2013, of which $2,444,000 $3,414,000 is for the National Veterans' Employment and Training Services Institute.In addition, to carry out Department of Labor programs under section 5(a)(1) of the Homeless Veterans Comprehensive Assistance Act of 2001 and the Veterans Workforce Investment Programs under section 168 of the WIA, $52,879,000, of which $14,622,000 shall be available for obligation for the period July 1, 2012 through June 30, 2013, $38,185,000. (Department of Labor Appropriations Act, 2012.)Jobs for Veterans State grantsThe Jobs for Veterans Act (JVA) of 2002 provides the foundation for this budget activity. The JVA requires the Veterans Employment and Training Service (VETS) to act on behalf of the Secretary in the promulgation of policies and regulations that ensure maximum employment and training opportunities for veterans and priority of service for veterans within the State workforce delivery system for employment and training programs funded in whole or in part by the U.S. Department of Labor. 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. The fiscal year 2013 Budget will end funding for this program and instead support service delivery innovations through the Workforce Innovation Fund.Program and Financing(in millions of dollars)Identification code 16–0164–0–1–7022011 actual2012 est.2013 est.
