PROGRAM MEMORANDUM 

TO: State Directors of Adult Education

FROM: Brenda Dann-Messier 

Assistant Secretary for

 Career, Technical, and Adult Education

RE: Estimated Adult Education State Award Allocations for 

Fiscal Year (FY) 2014

Attached are the estimated amounts each State will be awarded for FY 2014 under the Adult 

Education and Family Literacy Act (AEFLA), Title II of the Workforce Investment Act. These 

funds will become available July 1, 2014.

The second column of the attached table shows the estimated award amounts for the AEFLA 

State grant program. Section 211 (a) of AEFLA requires 1.72 percent of the total FY 2014

appropriation to be reserved for incentive grants for qualifying States. Additional funds are 

reserved by section 211 (e) of AEFLA for a competition for Outlying Areas. The remaining 

funds are distributed to States using the formula described in section 211.

The Consolidated Appropriations Act of 20141provides $483,208,128 for adult education 

formula grants to States. The English Literacy/Civics (EL/Civics) amount, which the 

Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2014 reserves for integrated English literacy and civics 

education services to immigrants and other limited English proficient populations, is

$70,811,000. As in past years for EL/Civics, the FY 2014 appropriations statute allocates 65 

percent of EL/Civics funds to States based on a State’s absolute need. This is determined by 

calculating each State’s share of a 10-year average of the United States Citizenship and 

Immigration Services data for immigrants admitted for legal permanent residence for the 10 most 

recent years. The appropriation statute also allocates 35 percent to States that experienced 

growth as measured by the average of the three most recent years for which the United States 

Citizenship and Immigration Services data for immigrants admitted for legal permanent 

residence are available. Every State is allocated a minimum of $60,000 for EL/Civics. The most 

recent year for which legal immigration data are available is 2012.

For State-specific information about the attached estimates, please contact your Area 

Coordinator in the Division of Adult Education and Literacy.
