Department of Education Limits Eligibility for CTE Federal Funding
The U.S. Department of Education announced on July 10 that undocumented individuals are no longer eligible for federal funding for career, technical, and adult education programs, reversing a policy issued in 1997.
The change effectively rescinds a Clinton-era interpretation that allowed nonqualified individuals access to federal public benefits in career, technical, and adult education programs. The department will be sending letters to all Carl D. Perkins Career and Technical Education Act (Perkins V), Adult Education and Family Literacy Act (AEFLA), and Higher Education Act (HEA) grantees to update recipients on the new verification requirements. While interpretive rules are not immediately binding and do not have effective dates, they represent the department’s current position and will be referenced in enforcing compliance to grantees or subgrantees. The department indicated that it will not enforce the new policy until Aug. 9, 2025.
This initiative directly responds to President Donald Trump’s executive order titled, “Ending Taxpayer Subsidization of Open Borders.”
