WSIN26-08 — ETP Report Deadlines for PY 2025

The August 29 provider deadline for PY 2025 All Student data has passed. The current job for Local ETPL Coordinators is exception management: identify unresolved provider or program errors, document follow-up, and close as much as possible before California submits its federal ETP Report on October 1.

Source + trust record

Source checked as of September 18, 2026. Primary authority: EDD WSIN26-08 and active WSD25-02.

Check result: The August 29, 2026 All Student data deadline has passed, while EDD’s federal ETP Report remains due October 1, 2026. Providers that were on the ETPL at any point in PY 2025 were subject to the reporting requirement, and failure to submit required All Student data may affect ETPL standing.

The bottom line

The deadline passed, but the compliance cycle did not end.

Every provider that appeared on California’s ETPL at any time in PY 2025 had a federal performance-reporting obligation. Required All Student data cover the training program’s broader student population, not only WIOA-funded participants. Programs that fail to submit required data may be removed from the ETPL for two program years under the applicable California framework.

Exception-management workflow

  1. Check the EDD error list. Separate resolved items, provider-action items, data-definition questions, and technical/system issues.
  2. Confirm whether the provider entered required All Student data.
  3. Contact the provider with the exact unresolved field or error.
  4. Escalate technical or policy questions quickly. Use EDD Provider and Employer Services when local/provider action cannot resolve the issue.
  5. Document the contact and status. Missing required reporting can affect ETPL standing.
  6. Build next year’s reporting calendar now. Providers should not first hear about All Student reporting in late August.

Why “All Student” matters

The federal ETP Report is designed to show training-program performance, not only outcomes for WIOA-funded students. Providers therefore report the program population covered by the federal definitions, including non-WIOA students. This is why provider reporting can require data systems and processes beyond ordinary WIOA participant records.

Watch out

  • Do not create an unofficial “late deadline.” Use current EDD instructions for unresolved cases.
  • Do not assume WIOA participant data satisfy All Student reporting.
  • Do not treat reporting failure as only the provider’s problem; Local ETPL Coordinators have a role in error resolution.
  • Do not wait until the next annual notice to establish provider data expectations.
