About the Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA) Program
The Trade Act of 1974 (19 USC § 2271 et seq.), as amended, established Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA) to provide assistance to workers in firms hurt by foreign trade. Program benefits include long-term training while receiving income support. TAA provides both rapid and early assistance. Filing this petition is the first step in qualifying for TAA benefits and assistance. After
the petition is filed, the U.S. Department of Labor will determine whether a significant number or proportion of the workers of the firm have become total or partially separated or are threatened to become totally or partially separated, and whether imports or a shift in production or services to a foreign country contributed importantly to these actual or threatened separations and to a decline in sales or in production of articles or supply of services. If a petition is approved and the workers are certified as eligible to participate in the TAA program, workers covered by a certification may contact their state workforce agency to apply for benefits. These benefits are provided at no expense to employers.

Trade Adjustment Assistance for Workers (TAA) provides federal assistance to workers who have
involuntarily lost their jobs due to foreign competition. It was last reauthorized by the Trade
Adjustment Assistance Reauthorization Act of 2015 (TAARA; Title IV of P.L. 114-27). This
report discusses the TAA program as enacted by TAARA.
To be eligible for TAA, a group of workers must establish that they were separated from their
employment either because their jobs moved outside the United States or because of an increase
in directly competitive imports. Workers at firms that are suppliers to or downstream producers of
TAA-certified firms may also be eligible for TAA benefits. Private sector workers who produce
goods or services are eligible for TAA benefits.

What about TRA - Trade Readjustment Allowance? TRA allows for extended unemployment for those who have exhausted Unemployment Compensation and whose jobs are affected by foreign imports as determined by a certification of group coverage issued by the Department of Labor. TAA - Trade Adjustment Assistance allows for training to reduce impacts of imports felt by certain sectors of the economy.
