Trade Act ProgramsThe Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA) Program is a federal program established under the Trade Act of 1974 that provides aid to workers who lose their jobs or whose hours of work and wages are reduced as a result of increased imports. The TAA program offers a variety of benefits and reemployment services to help unemployed workers prepare for and obtain suitable employment. Workers may be eligible for training, job search and relocation allowances, income support, and other reemployment services. A petition for TAA may be filed by a group of three or more workers, their union, or other duly authorized representative. Petition forms may be obtained from the local State Employment Security Agency or from any agency designated by the governor to provide reemployment services under the TAA program; or you can phone 202-693-3560 or write to the U.S. Department of Labor, Employment and Training Administration, Division of Trade Adjustment Assistance, Room C-5311, 200 Constitution Ave. N.W., Washington, D.C. 20210. The Trade Adjustment Assistance Reform Act of 2002 (TAA Reform Act) reauthorized the TAA program through fiscal year 2007 and amended and added provisions to the program.
