Summary:

Discusses trade adjustment assistance (TAA) for workers, which provides trade readjustment allowance to qualifying workers who lose their jobs directly due to increased imports or shifts in production out of the U.S. Examines alternative trade adjustment assistance benefits, a wage supplement for certain workers over 50 in lieu of training and TAA benefits. Covers TAA eligibility criteria, application process, available benefits, administration, financing and funding levels, and program participation and performance data. Reviews temporary changes under P.L. 111-5, the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009; and discusses recent Congressional action on reauthorization of TAA and its relationship to pending free trade agreements. Includes tables.
