The FY2027 President's Budget requests $7.5M for TAA Benefits (TRA), within Labor's TAA Benefits (TRA) account. That is down 38% on the FY2026 figure of $12.0M, which is the enacted appropriation.
FY2025–FY2027
| Fiscal year | Basis | Amount |
|---|---|---|
| FY2025 | enacted | $15.0M |
| FY2026 | enacted | $12.0M |
| FY2027 | request | $7.5M |
Bases are separate columns and are never summed into one figure.
Labor discretionary budget authority
From the OMB Public Budget Database — clean, summable, and the figure to cite for an agency total. It is the whole of Labor's discretionary request, not a total of the parsed lines above, and this page never adds the two together.
What this funds
Pays Trade Readjustment Allowances, providing income support to workers certified as trade-affected while they participate in approved training under the Trade Adjustment Assistance program.
Extracted from Employment and Training Administration, p. 9. Verbatim; nothing here is paraphrased.
