Opportunity Summary:
The Jobs for Veterans State Grants (JVSG) opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number SGA 09-05) is a U.S. Department of Labor program administered through the Veterans Employment and Training Service (VETS) under the authority of 38 U.S.C. 4102A(b)(5) and 4102A(c). Through this grant, the Assistant Secretary for Veterans Employment and Training (ASVET) makes funds available to each state to support two core staffing roles that deliver employment services to veterans: Disabled Veterans Outreach Program (DVOP) specialists and Local Veterans Employment Representative (LVER) staff. The federal government not only provides the funding, but also oversees how funds are distributed and used, and monitors the performance of grant recipients to ensure services are delivered effectively.
To receive funding, each state is required to submit an application that includes a narrative plan known as the State Plan. This plan functions as the state’s blueprint for how it will use JVSG funds to serve veterans and other eligible participants. The State Plan must spell out the projected employment outlook for veterans in the state, identify which veteran populations will be prioritized for service, and explain how DVOP and LVER staff will be deployed across the state to reach those populations. It must also clearly define the duties assigned to DVOP specialists and LVER staff, and describe how these positions are integrated into the state’s overall workforce system, including the employment service delivery structure and the One-Stop Career Center network.
A major focus of the State Plan is how the state will provide employment, training, and job placement services not only to veterans, but also to transitioning service members and other eligible persons. The application must explain how the state will implement and monitor “priority of service,†meaning veterans should receive precedence in certain employment and training services as required by federal policy. In addition, the State Plan must describe any Incentive Award program the state intends to operate using grant funds, and how grant-funded staff will augment or help facilitate Transition Assistance Program (TAP) Employment Workshops, which support service members as they move from military service into civilian employment. The plan must also include any other information the Secretary of Labor may require, giving the federal agency flexibility to request additional details based on policy needs or performance oversight.
This is a discretionary grant program using the “Grant†funding instrument, and it falls under the employment, labor, and training category. The announcement lists an expected total of 52 awards, reflecting that grants are intended to be made available across states and territories rather than awarded to a small set of competitive applicants. Importantly, the JVSG program is described as non-competitive: funds are not awarded through an open competition among many applicants. Instead, each state has one designated administrative entity, identified by the Governor or chief elected official, that is authorized to apply and receive the funding. In practice, this is generally the state agency that operates the public labor exchange or statewide employment service delivery system. The listed CFDA number is 17.801 (Disabled Veterans Outreach Program), and there is no cost-sharing or matching requirement, meaning the state is not required to contribute matching funds as a condition of receiving the grant.
Key administrative details from the posting include a posted and creation date of August 7, 2009, with an original and current closing date of October 1, 2009, and an archive date of October 31, 2009. The announcement lists an award ceiling of $18,000,000 and an award floor of $58,000, indicating the potential range of award sizes depending on the state or jurisdiction and the funding allocation methodology used for JVSG. For assistance accessing the announcement or related materials, the contact listed is Cassandra Mitchell, Grants Management Specialist, reachable at 202-693-4570 or mitchell.cassandra@dol.gov.
