Abstract: The Administration seeks to enable more individuals to obtain job training while receiving unemployment benefits, so they can develop their skills while the economy recovers. Therefore states, as third party disseminators, are strongly encouraged to notify unemployed individuals of their potential eligibility for Pell Grants.

Emergency Justfication: This third party dissemination request is to be implemented immediately so that more individuals may potentially obtain job training while receiving unemployment benefits, thus developing their skills while the economy recovers. Therefore the normal PRA review process for clearing this information dissemination is not an option.
