Adult Education - Basic Grants to States — CFDA 84.002

Adult-education obligations at $1.58 billion

USAspending.gov records about $1.6 billion — $1,576,192,483.11 in obligations under CFDA 84.002. Two hundred fifty awards produce that stock. A simple average is about $6.30 million per award — consistent with state AEFLA allocations rather than a single-site class grant. That average is a quotient of two packet totals, not a typical program budget or a per-learner amount.

The assistance-listing title is ADULT EDUCATION - BASIC GRANTS TO STATES. CFDA 84.002 is the identifier. Other Education WIOA or career-technical listings tagged under different CFDA numbers are not mixed into the $1.58 billion. Combining those codes would invent a combined adult-skills total this packet does not contain.

60 recipients across 57 states

Sixty recipients share 250 awards, or about 4.2 award records per recipient on average. Splitting $1.58 billion evenly would assign about $26.27 million per recipient. That pattern is a state-agency roster with several claiming rows per named organization. The packet does not list the 60. Recipient count is the organizational headcount, not a census of learners or instructors.

Fifty-seven states in the geographic count is a near-complete map plus territories. Adult-education dollars in this extract follow that coded geography. Place-of-performance amounts are on the program table.

Sixty recipients against 57 states is a state-agency AEFLA file with a few extra rows. Four-point-two award records per recipient fits annual allocations more than local class grants. The $1,576,192,483.11 obligation stock is not an enrollment census, not a GED-pass log, and not a WIOA Title I rollup. Career-and-technical education uses other CFDA numbers. Quote 250 as assistance rows and 60 as named organizations. Fifty-seven states is the coded map plus territories.

Award count is not a learner count

Among Education assistance listings, 84.002 is a mid-volume file: 250 rows against 60 recipients. Annual allocation rows and amendments can inflate award count relative to unique SEAs. Award count is therefore a weak proxy for “number of adult learners.” Recipients (60) tell you how many named organizations sit on the extract; awards (250) tell you how many assistance rows were stored.

The packet does not report enrollment, GED completions, or ESL hours. Citing 250 as classes would be a unit error. Keep the units straight: dollars, awards, recipients, states.

Obligations versus payment outlays

The $1.58 billion is an obligation total from USAspending.gov. Outlays — cash paid against adult-education awards — are not in the packet. A state agency can show a large obligation stock while a subgrant draw follows a later program year. Deobligations and upward adjustments both move the total. A remaining-balance question is an outlay question this extract does not answer.

Use CFDA 84.002 to size this Adult Education - Basic Grants to States listing in the assistance file. Do not use it as a Pell, WIOA Title I, or career-and-technical dashboard. Those series live on other codes. This page reports the obligation book tagged 84.002.

What the 84.002 tables omit

The adult-education hub lists award-backed obligations from USAspending.gov. It is not an enrollment file, not a GED-pass log, and not a provider directory. Series that never appear as assistance awards will not show up in the $1,576,192,483.11. That omission is definitional rather than a gap in the 250 award rows.

Place-of-performance on 57 states is a coding field. Read the program page before treating those cells as equal shares. Recipient dollars, if shown on the hub, are still obligation amounts, not cash already spent on instruction.

Where the 84.002 table lives

The program page overlays these four facts. The all-programs index ranks 84.002 among other assistance listings. Agency pages show awarding-agency rollups that may include this CFDA among other Education listings. For 84.002 only, start on the program page.

CFDA 84.002’s 250 awards spread $1,576,192,483.11 across 60 recipients and 57 states. Quote award count as a record count, recipient count as the organizational headcount, and dollars as obligations from USAspending.gov. About 4.2 award records per recipient is the density story on this listing. Outlays remain a separate column. Source: USAspending.gov assistance awards. Sixty recipients remain the organizational headcount on this extract.
