[SGA/DFA–PY–08–19] 

Solicitation for Grant Applications 

(SGA) Amendment Two; Pathways Out 

of Poverty 

AGENCY: Employment and Training 

Administration (ETA), Labor. 

ACTION: Notice: Amendment to SGA/ 

DFA–PY–08–19. 

SUMMARY: The Employment and 

Training Administration published a 

document in the Federal Register on 

June 24, 2009, announcing the 

availability of funds and solicitation for 

grant applications (SGA) for Pathways 

Out of Poverty to be awarded through a 

competitive process. This amendment to 

the SGA clarifies items related to: (1) 

Use of funds for supportive services 

(section IV.F); and (2) identifying 

PUMA(s) to be served (section VIII.A.1). 

The document is hereby amended. 

1. ‘‘Use of Funds for Supportive 

Services’’ section IV.F (page 30145) is 

revised as follows to indicate a change 

in the amount of grant funds that may 

be used for supportive services: 

a. Old Text—‘‘Grantees may use no 

more than 5% of their grant funds on 

these services.’’ 

b. New Text—‘‘Grantees may use no 

more than 10% of their grant funds on 

these services.’’ 

2. ‘‘Identify PUMA(s) to be Served’’ 

section VIII.A.1 (page 30151) is revised 

to include the following paragraph at 

the end of the section regarding 

additional resources on PUMAs that 

may be helpful: 

a. New Text—‘‘Applicants should 

note that the PUMA maps display the 

outlines of census tracts but do not 

show census tract numbers or street 

names. Applicants looking for 

additional information on the streetlevel boundaries of PUMAs should 

cross-reference the appropriate PUMA 

map, which can be found here (http:// 

www.census.gov/geo/www/maps/ 

puma5pct.htm) with the appropriate 

census tract maps, which can be found 

here (http://ftp2.census.gov/plmap/ 

pl_trt/). Follow the census tract map 

link above, which will display a list of 

States. Click on the appropriate State, 

and then click the appropriate county 

for a directory of map files for that 

county. Each county directory contains 

map files that show numbered census 

tracts and street names for specific areas 

within the county. For some counties, 

the first file in the directory will be an 

overview map of the entire county, 

which serves as an index for the 

remaining map files. Applicants can 

then match the census tract outlines on 

the PUMA map with the numbered 

census tracts depicted on the census 

tract maps. Identifying the census tracts 

that serve as the outer edge of the 

PUMA and zooming in on the census 

tract maps to see the street names will 

help applicants to identify the streetlevel boundaries of the PUMA.’’

Treatment of Pension Rollover 

Distributions 

AGENCY: Employment and Training 

Administration, Department of Labor. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The Employment and 

Training Administration has provided 

guidance to State workforce agencies on 

an amendment to Federal 

unemployment compensation (UC) law 

that prohibits the reduction of UC due 

to nontaxable pension rollover 

distributions. This continuing guidance 

was issued on May 4, 2009 as UIPL No. 

10–09 and is published below to inform 

the public. It rescinds UIPL No. 22–87, 

Change 2. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

UIPL 10–09: Treatment of Pension 

Rollover Distributions 

1. Purpose. To advise States of an 

amendment to Federal unemployment 

compensation (UC) law that prohibits 

the reduction of UC due to nontaxable 

pension rollover distributions. 

2. References. Sections 3304(a)(15) of 

the Federal Unemployment Tax Act 

(FUTA); Public Law 109–280, the 

Pension Protection Act of 2006; Public 

Law 110–458, the Worker, Retiree, and 

Employer Recovery Act of 2008; 

Unemployment Insurance Program 

Letter (UIPL) 22–87 and Changes 1 (60 

FR 55,604 (1995)) and 2 (68 FR 15,241 

(2003)); Internal Revenue Service (IRS) 

Publications 575 and 590; and IRS Tax 

Topic 413—Rollovers from Retirement 

Plans. 

3. Background. As a result of an 

amendment made by the Worker, 

Retiree, and Employer Recovery Act of 

2008, States are now prohibited from 

reducing UC due to nontaxable pension 

rollover distributions. Whether to 

reduce UC due to receipt of taxable 

distributions remains a matter for the 

State to determine. This UIPL is issued 

to explain the amendment and its effect. 

Based on information available to the 

Department, only one State currently 

reduces UC due to any pension 

rollovers. However, all States should 

review their laws regarding treatment of
