Opportunity Summary:
The Jobs for Veterans State Grants (JVSG) Application (Funding Opportunity Number SGA 14-07) is a mandatory, formula-funded grant opportunity from the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL), Veterans Employment and Training Service (VETS). Its purpose is to fund statewide services that help veterans prepare for, find, and keep employment, under the authority of Title 38 United States Code, Chapter 41. The grant covers a multi-year period spanning Fiscal Years (FY) 2015 through 2019, but applicants are instructed to submit a detailed budget forecast for FY 2015 only. For each subsequent year in the grant period, VETS plans to request an updated budget forecast tied to whatever funding is allocated for that year.
This opportunity is not competitive. Funds are offered to one designated administrative entity in each state, typically the state agency that operates the public labor exchange or statewide workforce system. The same approach applies to certain territories and jurisdictions: the workforce agencies of the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, the governments of the U.S. Virgin Islands and Guam, and the District of Columbia are included as recipients for FY 2015 under the same structure. Because it is formula-based, the amounts shown in the announcement are primarily for planning. The formula used to determine planning allocations is established in federal regulation at 20 CFR Part 1001, Subpart F. However, the actual award to each state or jurisdiction ultimately depends on the annual Congressional appropriation, meaning final amounts can change from the planning estimates.
The announcement indicates there are approximately 54 expected awards, aligning with the number of states plus the eligible territories and the District of Columbia. The CFDA number listed is 17.801, associated with the Disabled Veterans Outreach Program (DVOP), which is one of the core JVSG-funded service components focused on intensive services for veterans facing barriers to employment. The funding instrument type is a grant, the opportunity category is mandatory, and the activity area is employment, labor, and training. No cost sharing or matching is required, which means recipients are not expected to provide a non-federal match as a condition of receiving the award.
Funding levels vary widely by state and are presented with an award floor and ceiling for planning purposes. The minimum expected award floor is listed as $115,000 and the maximum award ceiling is listed as $1,928,000. Within the overall JVSG allocation, the guidance notes that roughly one percent of the funding may be used for postage. In addition, an equivalent amount may be requested to support an Incentive Awards program described in the application instructions, which typically recognizes or encourages performance and achievement within program operations.
The application package is described as containing several major elements: general program application information and government-wide requirements, the formula funding levels and related instructions along with application form information, and the required certifications, assurances, and grant provisions. In line with federal e-government requirements, the detailed instructions and forms are provided online through the VETS website, and the instructions explain how the State Plan and required forms should be handled before submission through Grants.gov. The VETS Directors for Veterans Employment and Training (DVETs) are specifically identified as a technical assistance resource, meaning states can lean on DVET staff for help preparing and submitting the FY 2015-2019 JVSG application.
Key dates in the posting show it was made public in late September 2014, with an original and current closing date of October 1, 2014, and an archive date of October 31, 2014. The listed point of contact for access issues or grant management questions is Cassandra Mitchell, a Grants Management Specialist, with phone and email provided in the notice.
