The Trade Adjustment Assistance Modernization Act reauthorizes and substantially reforms the Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA) programs, extending their duration until 2033. The legislation aims to modernize support for American workers, firms, communities, and farmers negatively impacted by trade. It repeals the prior "snapback" provision, ensuring the enhanced benefits and eligibility criteria are immediately applicable upon enactment. For workers , the bill expands eligibility to include staffed workers, teleworkers, and public agency employees, and covers those affected by decreased exports or imports of necessary production articles. It streamlines the petition process, improves outreach to workers in their native language and through digital channels, and allows for peer support. The bill also modifies qualifying requirements for benefits, including waivers for workers nearing recall or retirement. The legislation significantly enhances worker benefits by extending Trade Readjustment Allowances (TRA) and introducing automatic TRA extensions during periods of heightened unemployment. It increases job search and relocation allowances, indexing them to inflation, and establishes new child and other dependent care allowances to support workers in training or seeking employment. Furthermore, it allows for reimbursement of out-of-pocket training expenses incurred before certification. State agencies are mandated to improve coordination and outreach, particularly to underserved communities, ensuring training programs lead to living wage jobs and address barriers to service access. The bill also strengthens the Reemployment Trade Adjustment Assistance program by increasing salary limitations and total payment amounts, with inflation adjustments. For firms , the bill accelerates the petition and determination process, with a deemed certification if a decision isn't made within 55 days. It broadens eligibility criteria to include firms affected by decreased exports or imports of necessary articles, and those in oil and natural gas exploration. The maximum adjustment assistance for firms is increased to $300,000, subject to inflation, and requires matching funds, while also mandating sustained outreach to potentially eligible firms, including small, minority-owned, and those employing workers from underserved communities. A new Trade Adjustment Assistance for Communities program is established, offering grants up to $25 million for strategic planning and implementation to communities impacted by trade. This program prioritizes areas with economic distress and long-term unemployment, ensuring geographic diversity in grant awards. Additionally, the Trade Adjustment Assistance for Community Colleges and Career Training program is expanded, increasing grant limits to $2.5 million for individual institutions and $15 million for consortia, with a focus on student support services and outreach to underserved communities. For farmers , the bill broadens eligibility for adjustment assistance to include those affected by decreased exports of agricultural commodities. It substantially increases financial benefits for agricultural commodity producers, raising maximum payments from $4,000 to $12,000 for certain benefits and from $8,000 to $24,000 for others, with a total cap of $36,000, all indexed to inflation. The Secretary of Agriculture is also required to conduct targeted outreach to agricultural commodity producers from underserved communities. Finally, the bill significantly increases authorized appropriations across all TAA programs, including up to $1 billion for worker training, $50 million for firms, $1 billion for communities, and $1.3 billion for community colleges for fiscal years 2027 through 2031/2033. It also makes the Health Coverage Tax Credit (HCTC) permanent and increases the credit percentage to 80%, applying these changes to coverage months beginning after December 31, 2021, and ensuring retroactive application for certain periods.
