Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA) Program
How to Check for a Determination on a Petition Already Filed Monthly Training Waiver Updates
Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA) is available to workers who lose their jobs or whose hours of work and wages are reduced as a result of foreign trade. Under the Trade Act of 1974, as amended, workers whose employment is adversely affected may apply for TAA. TAA includes a variety of benefits and reemployment services to help unemployed workers prepare for and obtain suitable employment. Workers may be eligible for training, a job search allowance, a relocation allowance, and other reemployment services. Additionally, weekly trade readjustment allowances (TRA) may be payable to eligible workers following their exhaustion of unemployment benefits. The TAA program is administered by the Employment and Training Administration of the U.S. Department of Labor. The Michigan Department of Energy, Labor & Economic Growth (DELEG), Bureau of Workforce Transformations serves as the agent for the U.S. Department of Labor in administering the TAA program in Michigan.
A petition for Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA) may be filed by a group of three or more workers, their union, or a company official. To file a petition, visit the United States Department of Labor website. To process your credit card payment petition filing fee, please use a credit card and make payment on this website.
