Trade Adjustment Assistance for Firms is run by Department of Commerce. From fiscal 2021 to 2025 it awarded $49.2 million in 33 grants, about $1.5 million per award.

## Objectives

The Trade Adjustment Assistance for Firms (TAAF) program helps import-impacted U.S. firms develop and implement projects to regain global competitiveness, expand markets, strengthen operations, increase profitability, thereby increasing U.S. jobs. Key portions of the statutory authorization of EDA’s TAAF program expired on June 30, 2022. As of July 1, 2022, EDA was unable to accept new petitions from firms for certification of eligibility for trade adjustment assistance (“petitions”) through the TAAF program. Current Trade Adjustment Assistance Centers will utilize previously awarded funds to serve existing clients until such funding is exhausted.
