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.
