Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA) provides benefits to workers who lose their jobs, or whose hours of work and wages are reduced as a result of increased imports, or whose jobs were exported offshore ("trade-affected workers"). The TAA benefits include a variety of reemployment services designed to help trade-affected workers prepare for and obtain suitable employment. Workers may be eligible for training, a job search allowance, a relocation allowance, health coverage tax credit, re-employment trade adjustment assistance ("wage insurance"), and other reemployment services.
The TAA Program is administered by the Employment and Training Administration of the U.S. Department of Labor. The States serve as agents to the Labor Department in administering the TAA program. The eligibility process is initiated by the filing of a petition for determination that the company's layoffs were trade-affected. Once the investigation is concluded granting certification of the company, each individual worker must also apply for eligibility.
