Day To Day Trade Adjustment Assistance TAA Services Standard Operating Procedures Tracy Bunch, TAA Specialist East TN Region | July 2019
The purpose of the TAA Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) is to create a clear understanding of the steps needed to be taken when an eligible trade impacted worker requests services at the American Job Center under the Trade Adjustment Assistance Act.
What is a File Naming Convention and what does that mean to me? It is a uniform structure for naming your files in a way that describes what they contain and how they relate to other files. When saving files to upload to www.Jobs4TN.gov, save them in the TAA File Name Convention format on your computer. The TAA File Naming Convention for all TAA files that are going to be uploaded to www.Jobs4TN.gov is: Lastname, Firstname (Item) mm-dd-yyyy Reynolds, Malcolm (TAA Training Packet) 06-14-2019 Washburne, Zo (Weekly Cert) 07-06-2019 (use the Saturday date that is on the certification)
Uploading Documents to www.Jobs4TN.gov Upload documents as ONE file whenever possible. Examples: The complete TAA training request packet. The benchmark AND measurable skills gain WITH grades. The RTAA packet. Enter a case note when uploading documents. Upload the document IN the case note. Create the case note IN the benchmark.

Case Closures and Creating A Credential Do you create a (training) credential if you have the follow-up form but not the credential? Yes, you create the credential and link the follow-up form, but you will still need to upload the credential once you receive it.

30/60/90 Day Follow-Ups My participant has completed their TAA service, do I need to do anything else? YES! You need to follow up with your participant every 30 days for the next 90 days.
