USDOL Renews Assistance to Workers Laid Off Due to Foreign Trade
Displaced workers affected by foreign imports have additional opportunities to receive assistance with re-employment, training, job searching, and relocation allowances under the Trade Adjustment Assistance Reauthorization Act of 2015 (TAARA 2015). On June 29, 2015 the act was reauthorized, which not only continues the Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA) program for six years, but also is retroactive to workers who were laid off before the reinstatement of the program.
