Q & A Policy Issuance 06-15
Allowable Training Supplies, Materials and Equipment for TAA Customers
Issuance 06-15
Q As the original policy (98-24) that established the allowable maximum amount was developed more than 7 years ago, why does the new policy retain the same $30 maximum limit allowed for basic materials, supplies and equipment instead of revising the limit upward to account for cost increases?
A The revised policy increases the original $25 limit to $30.


Q Why are the costs for required post-training licenses and/or certifications not covered under the policy as an allowable cost of training?
A SESA Issuance No. 92-27 (12/24/1991) states that for an item’s cost to be allowable under TAA funding, the item “must be required for the training, not for any subsequent licensing, registration or other purposes related to actually engaging in an occupation.”
