| Solicitation Profile |
In April 2021, Governor Cuomo signed the State Fiscal Year 2021-2022 New York State (NYS) budget. Included in the budget is $2.1 billion in state funding for a new initiative entitled The Excluded Worker Fund (EWF). This fund will offer relief to workers who have suffered income loss due to COVID but who are ineligible for Unemployment Insurance or related federal benefits. The fund will provide a one-time payment to eligible workers who lost their jobs or income during the benefit period (March 27, 2020 to April 1, 2021).
Hundreds of thousands of workers throughout the state are expected to benefit from the EWF. These funds will provide an economic lifeline to recipients, whose spending will infuse these funds into their local economies. The New York State Department of Labor (NYSDOL) will be responsible for administering the program and distributing EWF benefits.
NYS is seeking qualified Not-For-Profit (NFP) organizations to serve as trusted messengers and helpers within communities with high concentrations of excluded workers. The New York State Department of Labor (NYSDOL) is making up to $10,000,000 in funding available under Excluded Worker Fund Outreach and Assistance Grant (EWF-OAG) Request for Qualifications (RFQ). In addition to outreach and direct assistance, NFPs may also provide additional services to community members who are not eligible to receive Excluded Worker funds, or ancillary services (e.g., financial literacy counseling) necessary to assist participants who receive funds. In accordance with Section 4 of Part EEE of Chapter 59 of the LAWS of 2021, contracts awarded following this RFQ will be awarded on a noncompetitive basis in order to expedite outreach and other services to such individuals that have been enduring the challenges of the COVID 19 pandemic without relief.
