How do I know if I'm eligible?

To qualify, applicants must be laid off from a job covered under a trade petition certified by the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL).

To receive TAA benefits and services, applicants must file a petition online or by mail with DOL. Petitions may be filed by:

Three or more workers in the same firm or subdivision;
The workers’ employer;
A union official or other duly authorized representative of such workers; or
Texas Workforce Solutions
Generally, if a worker is laid off, a petition must be submitted within one year of the layoff for that worker to be covered by the petition and the certification if DOL grants the petition.
