| National Emergency Grants (NEG) are discretionary dollars awarded by the Department of Labor to temporarily expand employment services in a state or local area in response to significant events that cause a sudden need for increased service levels. NEGs are authorized by Section 173 of the Workforce Investment Act. The purpose of NEGs is to help dislocated workers and their communities recover from the effects of plant closings, mass layoffs, and disasters, especially if the usual formula dislocated worker funding can not accommodate the increased demand for services.
