Explanations of Sections of the Trade Act of 1974, as Amended

Sec. 231 ‎(19 USC 2291, 20 CFR 617.11)

  • In order to qualify for a basic claim for Trade Readjustment Allowances (TRA), an individual must be an ADVERSELY AFFECTED WORKER who is covered by a Department of Labor certification.
  • That separation must have occurred on or after the Impact Date specified in the certification and before the certification ends.
  • The individual must have worked and earned a minimum of $30.00 per week in ADVERSELY AFFECTED EMPLOYMENT during each of at least 26 of the 52 weeks preceding his/her layoff. EXCEPTION: For a worker who has less than 26 qualifying weeks of work, up to 7 weeks of specified kinds of nonwork may be combined with weeks of work to meet the “26 weeks” requirement. Up to 7 allowable nonwork weeks may be employer-approved leave for maternity, illness, inactive duty (or active duty for training) in the armed forces, or to serve as a union representative. Up to 26 weeks of compensable disability (Workers’ Compensation) may be used to meet the “26 weeks” requirement.
  • The worker must have been entitled to UI benefits or waiting period credit for a week during the benefit year of the Controlling UI Claim*.
  • TRA weekly benefits are not payable for any week that began within 60 days after the petition filing date OR for any week for which the worker has UI entitlement, including entitlement to extended benefits.
  • The worker must have exhausted all rights to any UI benefits to which he/she is entitled (or would have been entitled to if the individual had applied).
  • The first week of entitlement to a payment of TRA shall be the later of: the first week beginning more than 60 days after the filing date of the petition; OR, the first week beginning after the individual’s exhaustion of all rights to UI benefits, including waiting period credit.

Sec. 232, 233 ‎(19 USC 2291, 20 CFR 617.11 and 617.14)

  • The maximum amount of TRA shall be determined by multiplying 52 times (78 times for petitions filed and certified after November 4, 2002) the weekly amount of TRA payable to an individual under a certification for a week of total unemployment, and subtracted from the total sum of UI to which the individual was entitled, (or would have been entitled to had the individual applied) under the benefit period established in the year preceding, immediately following, or after the individual’s first qualifying separation from affected employment; without regard to the actual amount, if any, that the individual was paid with respect to such benefit period.

Training, Job Search, Relocation

As an adversely affected worker, you may qualify for other kinds of Trade Adjustment Assistance whether or not you are receiving TRA weekly benefits. If your job prospects are poor in your usual occupation, you may apply for:
  • TRAINING: California UI law now provides that if a request for training is TAA-approved, you may receive any UI benefits to which you are entitled and availability and seek-work requirements are waived while you attend training. Also, you may receive training-related costs that include tuition, books, materials, and, in some cases, travel and subsistence allowances.
  • JOB SEARCH AND RELOCATION: If you have no reasonable expectation of obtaining suitable work within your commuting area, you may be able to receive financial assistance to seek work elsewhere. If you obtain work in another area, you may apply for relocation allowances to assist in moving family and household goods to the new location. APPLICATIONS MUST BE MADE IN ADVANCE of a job search or relocation in order to receive approval for payment.
