*Abstract:*                     The Adult Education and Family Literacy Act (AEFLA), Title II of the Workforce Investment Act of 1998, Public Law 105-220 provides formula funding to States to support adult education instruction at the State level. Section 224 of Public Law 105-220 required States submit to the Department their plan for how they address the requirements of the Act, including agreeing upon levels of performance identified in section 212. Congress did not enact new legislation prior to the expiration of the law in 2003; however, it continued to extend program appropriations for each additional year in each subsequent annual appropriation law.                

Section 211(b)(1) of Adult Education and Family Literacy Act (AEFLA) requires that States have an approved State plan on file in order to receive their allotments of Federal adult education funds. The Department is taking a targeted approach to ensure States not duplicate their efforts in submitting information. Office of Vocational and Adult Education's State Plan Guide for AEFLA emphasizes that the information requested is simply updating current original plans to reflect performance targets and any proposed new uses for program funds in upcoming years.
