Request an Advance

This screen is a letter template for initiating a Title XII loan request.

The addressee information (the Secretary of Labor name, the Office of Workforce Security Administrator, and address) is dynamically populated by the system.

All fields are required.

  • Enter the date of request (mmddyyyy format) in the date field at the top of the letter.

  • In the body of the letter, choose the starting month/year for the loan request from the drop-down menu. The two fields that follow will be automatically populated based on the month/year selected from the drop-down menu.

  • The Months of Transfer are also populated based on the month/year selected from the drop-down menu.

  • In the three fields below the Amount Not To Exceed heading, enter the amount requested for each month (in the corresponding field in the column on the right). Enter whole dollars only; the range of values for the dollar amount is 0 to 999,999,999. If funds are not needed for a particular month, enter 0.

The Signatory Name and Title are also dynamically populated by the system based on the Signatory Official on file with the overseeing office at the DOL. If the information needs to be corrected, please contact the U.S. Department of Labor

The Personal Identification Number (PIN) is not required to save a draft of the Request for Advances, but is required in order to submit the request to the overseeing office at the DOL.

Below the field to enter your PIN there are 4 buttons.

  • Reset: click this button to clear all information entered in the fields for this letter and restore the default or saved values.
