Opportunity Information: Apply for ETA TEGL 16 24
The PY2025 Planning Instruction and Allotments for the Senior Community Service Employment Program (SCSEP) State and Territorial Grantees is issued as a Training and Employment Guidance Letter (TEGL 16-24) by the U.S. Department of Labor, Employment and Training Administration. It is a discretionary grant-related announcement tied to CFDA 17.235 and is aimed specifically at organizations that already hold SCSEP state or territorial grants. In practice, this is less a typical open competition and more an official planning and funding instruction document for the next program year, laying out what current grantees should expect and what they must do to remain eligible to receive and draw down their PY 2025 funding.
The core purpose of the TEGL is to provide PY 2025 planning guidance, including two items that matter most for grantees: the number of authorized positions and the associated funding allotments for the program year. SCSEP is structured around serving eligible older individuals through paid community service assignments and employment assistance, so the authorized positions figure is essentially the staffing/service capacity measure used to plan enrollments and community service placements. The allotments translate that authorized service level into dollar amounts by grantee, giving each state or territory a clear funding expectation for budgeting, performance planning, and operational decisions ahead of the new program year.
In addition to laying out positions and allotments, the TEGL spells out ETA requirements that must be satisfied before the agency will obligate funds. Those requirements function as pre-award or pre-obligation conditions and typically shape what documentation, assurances, planning submissions, or compliance steps a grantee must complete so ETA can finalize the grant action for the year. The key message is that funding is not simply automatic; grantees must meet ETA’s stated conditions before the Department of Labor will formally commit PY 2025 dollars.
From the opportunity record, the anticipated scale is substantial: the award ceiling is listed as 6,676,711 dollars, and ETA expects about 60 awards, reflecting the nationwide set of state and territorial SCSEP grantees. The opportunity is identified in the system as a grant, within the Employment, Labor and Training activity category, and it carries an original closing date of August 4, 2025. Because the eligible applicants are described as “Others” and the narrative explicitly limits the audience to current SCSEP state and territorial grantees, the practical eligibility boundary is clear: this TEGL is directed at existing SCSEP entities rather than new applicants seeking to enter the program.
For questions or clarifications about the guidance, ETA directs grantees to email SCSEP.OGM@dol.gov. This contact is the central point for interpreting the instructions, resolving planning or allotment questions, and addressing the steps needed before funds can be obligated for PY 2025.Apply for ETA TEGL 16 24
