SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Eight States (see Appendix) qualify to 
receive a share of the $9,884,265 available for incentive grant awards 
under WIA section 503. These funds, which were contributed by ED from 
appropriations for the Adult Education and Family Literacy Act at WIA 
title II (AEFLA), are available for the eligible States to use through 
June 30, 2016, to support innovative workforce development and 
education activities that are authorized under WIA title IB (Workforce 
Investment Systems) or WIA title II (AEFLA), or under the Carl D. 
Perkins Career and Technical Education Act of 2006 (Perkins IV), 20 
U.S.C. 2301 et seq., as amended by Public Law 109-270. In order to 
qualify for a grant award, a State must have exceeded its performance 
levels for WIA title IB and WIA title II. (Perkins IV removed the 
requirement that funds be reserved to carry out section 503 of WIA

determining eligibility for incentive grants under section 503 of WIA). 
The performance related goals used to determine a State's eligibility 
status include: (1) Employment after training and related services, as 
well as retention in employment, and (2) improvements in literacy 
levels, among other measures. After review of the performance data 
submitted by States to DOL and ED, each Department determined which 
States exceeded their performance levels for its respective program(s) 
(the Appendix at the bottom of this notice lists the eligibility of 
each State by program). These lists were compared, and States that 
exceeded their performance levels for both programs are eligible to 
apply for and receive an incentive grant award.

amounts they are eligible to receive are listed in the following chart:
