TEGL 10-25 is the federal upstream funding document behind California’s PY 2026 WIOA allocations. Use it to understand state allotments, formulas, and timing. Use EDD’s WSIN25-32 for the actual Local Area formula amount.
Source + trust record
Source checked as of September 18, 2026. Primary authority: USDOL TEGL 10-25 and EDD’s PY 2026-27 Local Area allocation notice.
Check result: TEGL 10-25 remains active continuing federal guidance for PY 2026 WIOA Title I, Wagner-Peyser, and Workforce Information Grant allotments. It establishes state-level allotments and formula information, not Local Area budgets. California Local Boards should use EDD’s official Local Area allocation and current subgrant authority for local budgeting and cash management.

The bottom line
Do not turn California’s federal state allotment into a local budget.
DOL distributes WIOA Title I and Wagner-Peyser funds to states. California then applies statewide reservations and substate allocation rules before EDD issues Local Area amounts. TEGL 10-25 explains why the statewide pool changed; WSIN25-32 is the operative source for local formula budgeting.
California’s PY 2026 Title I allotments
| Program | California state allotment | Change from PY 2025 | What to notice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Youth | $156.3M | -7.28% | Statewide decline does not translate one-for-one to every Local Area. |
| Adult | $149.7M | -8.37% | Local allocations still depend on California’s substate formula. |
| Dislocated Worker | $259.2M | +25.83% | The large increase drives the overall Title I gain. |
| Total Title I | About $565.2M | About +$27.3M | Program mix changed substantially even though the combined total increased. |
The funding chain
1 · Congress + DOL
Appropriations and WIOA formulas establish state allotments.
2 · California
State reservations and substate formula rules determine the local pool.
3 · Local Area
EDD issues the amount used for local budget and contract planning.
Operational considerations for WDBs
- Budget from WSIN25-32, not the federal state total.
- Use TEGL 10-25 to explain statewide movement. It provides the federal formulas, allotments, and timing behind California’s notice.
- Review the program mix. Adult and Youth decreases alongside a large DW increase may require different staffing, contracting, and service strategies.
- Keep funding availability in the cash plan. Adult/DW federal timing differs from Youth and should be reconciled to California’s releases.
- Do not treat the Governor’s Reserve estimate as an automatic local loss. It is a statutory ceiling on state reservation, not a local allocation table.
Required / good practice / watch out
| Label | How to apply it |
|---|---|
| Required | Use the applicable federal and state allocation rules and the official EDD Local Area award. |
| Good practice | Maintain a funding bridge from federal state allotment to EDD local allocation to subgrant authority to local budget. |
| Watch out | A statewide percentage change is not a Local Area percentage change. |
