Requires such services and allowances to be provided subject to the terms and conditions of discretionary funds under title III of the Job Training Partnership Act. Requires the States, under agreements with the Secretary of Labor, to receive applications for and provide payments for trade adjustment assistance and to otherwise cooperate in providing payments under the trade adjustment assistance provisions. (Current law requires the State, where appropriate, to provide certain services for adversely affected workers.)
