A new Department of Labor web resource (http://www.doleta.gov/neg) provides an overview of the National Emergency Grant (NEG) program, application information and forms, and a centralized location for the laws and regulations involving these grants. The site also provides information on recent grant awards.

National Emergency Grants are grants issued by the Secretary of Labor that temporarily expand dislocated worker services at the State and local levels. Many union-led programs provide expertise to state and local workforce programs to obtain these funds when there is a major dislocation or plant closure at a unionized facility. NEG grants provide key resources for laid-off workers in large dislocations, where existing WIA funds will not cover the workers' needs.  Links to recent grant announcements include:
