DWGs are supplemental, time-limited funding assistance provided in response to major economic dislocations or other events that cause significant impact on states and local areas that exceed the capacity of existing formula funds and other relevant resources. DWGs enable states and communities to respond to and recover from large, unexpected dislocation events.

Entities that are eligible to receive a National Dislocated Worker Grant include: designated state or territorial Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) program agencies; one or more Local Workforce Investment Areas; a designated organization receiving WIOA funding through the Native American Program provisions of WIOA or the tribal entities as described in the Stafford Act; entities determined to be appropriate to apply by the Governor of a state; and other entities that demonstrate their capability to carry out such projects to the Secretary of Labor. Funds can be used to provide employment and training services (including some supportive services) to eligible participants.

Individuals who are eligible for assistance vary by type of National Dislocated Worker Grant project; however, they must meet the criteria provided in Section 170 of the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act.
