Program objective
The Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA) for Workers Program is a federal entitlement program that assists workers impacted by foreign trade. Through the provision of a number of employment-related benefits and services, the TAA Program provides trade-affected workers with opportunities to obtain the support, resources, skills, and credentials they need to return to the workforce in a good job in an in-demand industry. TAA Program services include: training, employment and case management services, job search allowances, relocation allowances, wage supplements for workers aged 50 and older, and income support in the form of Trade Readjustment Allowances (TRA).
