Trade Adjustment Assistance
TAA Termination
PLEASE NOTE: As of June 30, 2022, the federal TAA program expired and is currently pending a decision by Congress to reauthorize continuation of the program. Until further notice, the U.S. Department of Labor (USDOL) will not issue any determinations and accept any new TAA petitions. Requests to amend current certifications may still be filed.
- If you were certified from a petition and separated from your job on/or before June 30, 2022, you may still be eligible for benefits and services under the TAA program.
- If you were separated from employment after June 30, 2022, please contact your nearest Michigan Works! Agency to learn about job seeker services available to you.
- We encourage companies or individuals to complete a TAA petition and submit to LEO-TAA@michigan.gov so we may have your petition ready to file if, and when, Congress renews the TAA program.
For more information, review the DOL's TAA website or the TAA Termination Fact Sheet.
