The TAA Program
The Trade Adjustment Assistance for Firms (TAA) program provides
Federal funds for companies that have been adversely affected by foreign
competition. U.S. firms experiencing increased foreign competition, a
decline in sales or production, and a decline or impending decline in employment
may be eligible for the TAA program.
There is no cost to
apply for the program. The New York State Trade Adjustment
Assistance Center (NYS TAAC) provides TAA program assistance only for New York State
firms. For a list of regional centers serving other areas, please visit
our
TAA Centers page.
Types of Assistance

competition by funding projects that improve the firm's competitive position in
the areas of:
 •
Management
•

•

•

•
ISO/QS/TS/UL/CE Certification
The specific types of assistance to be provided for your company are determined through
completion of a Diagnostic Survey and development of an Adjustment
Proposal as part of the funding approval process.
