Federal Funding Disclosure (Stevens Amendment)

The Stevens Amendment is an appropriations provision that requires U.S. Department of Labor grant recipients to acknowledge federal funding when publicly communicating any projects or programs. This requirement to reveal the costs financed with federal funds promotes transparency and accountability and ensures any federally funded research and work are properly credited.

A total of 100% of the UI Modernization project is financed with federal funds.
  • UI Tiger Team: The Tiger Team grant is supported by the U.S. Department of Labor. A total of 100% of the Tiger Team grant is financed with federal funds.
