Dept. of Education rule imposes citizenship requirements on adult education programs

  1. Original Date Announced

    July 11, 2025

    The Department of Education issued a rule reinterpreting “Federal Public Benefit” as used in Title IV of the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996 (PRWORA). Programs that fall within that category are only available to citizens and “qualifying aliens.” The new rule states that postsecondary education programs, including adult education programs and career and technical education programs, will now be subject to these requirements.
