The Trade Adjustment Assistance program emphasizes an assortment of
comprehensive, timely retraining and reemployment services tailored to
meet the needs of the individual worker.
Once a petition has been filed and the U.S. Department of Labor has certified eligibility, workers are eligible to apply for a variety of benefits. Workers must meet
individual training approval criteria to qualify for training. All benefits have different time constraints. Therefore, workers must file the appropriate application for the benefit in a timely
manner.
If workers are not satisfied with the determination of an individual
application, the same appeal rights apply as are provided under their State
Unemployment Compensation Law. The determination notice received after
filing an application will explain appeal rights and time limits for filing
an application appeal.
