Texas community resource
Trade Adjustment Assistance Program
Texas Workforce Commission
Employment, training, and income-support services for eligible workers separated from federally certified trade-affected employment.
How to get help
Contact the TWC Trade Adjustment Assistance program or a local Workforce Solutions office to determine whether the former employer and separation are covered by a certified petition and to begin case-management and benefit review.
Who this service helps
The worker must have been laid off from employment covered by a U.S. Department of Labor trade certification and must meet the rules applicable to that petition and requested benefit. TAA expired July 1, 2022, but TWC continues serving customers who remain eligible under certified petitions.
Where this service is available
Service area: Texas statewide, including Travis, Williamson, Hays, Bastrop, Caldwell, Burnet, and Blanco counties within the Central Texas assignment.
