{"abstract":"The Secretary of Education (Secretary) amends the regulations governing institutional eligibility, general provisions, and the Federal Pell Grant (Pell Grant) Program under title IV of the Higher Education Act (HEA) of 1965, as amended (the title IV, HEA programs). The final regulations implement statutory changes to the title IV, HEA programs included in the Working Families Tax Cuts Act (WFTCA), signed into law by President Trump on July 4, 2025. In the NPRM, we referenced the WFTCA as the \"One Big Beautiful Bill\"; however, for clarity and consistency in this final rule, we will instead use WFTCA. The WFTCA made numerous changes to the HEA, including changes to student eligibility requirements for the Pell Grant Program and the establishment of Workforce Pell Grants for students who enroll in a new type of eligible program called an \"eligible workforce program,\" intended to be a high-quality, performance-based, short-term program that supports America's workforce needs.","action":"Final rule.","agencies":[{"raw_name":"DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION","name":"Education Department","id":126,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/education-department","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/126","parent_id":null,"slug":"education-department"}],"body_html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/html/2026/05/19/2026-10013.html","cfr_references":[{"chapter":null,"citation_url":null,"part":"600","title":34},{"chapter":null,"citation_url":null,"part":"668","title":34},{"chapter":null,"citation_url":null,"part":"690","title":34}],"citation":"91 FR 29254","comment_url":null,"comments_close_on":null,"correction_of":null,"corrections":[],"dates":"This rule is effective July 20, 2026, except for amendatory instructions 10 and 13, which are effective May 19, 2026.","disposition_notes":null,"docket_ids":["Docket ID ED-2026-OPE-0133"],"dockets":[{"supporting_documents":[],"agency_name":"ED","documents":[{"comment_count":0,"comment_start_date":"2026-05-19","updated_at":"2026-05-19T09:59:57.644-04:00","comment_url":"https://www.regulations.gov/commenton/ED_FRDOC_0001-1142","allow_late_comments":false,"id":"ED_FRDOC_0001-1142","comment_end_date":null,"regulations_dot_gov_open_for_comment":false}],"supporting_documents_count":0,"id":"ED_FRDOC_0001","title":"Recently Posted ED Rules and Notices."}],"document_number":"2026-10013","effective_on":"2026-07-20","end_page":29338,"executive_order_notes":null,"executive_order_number":null,"explanation":null,"full_text_xml_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/xml/2026/05/19/2026-10013.xml","html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2026/05/19/2026-10013/accountability-in-higher-education-and-access-through-demand-driven-workforce-pell-pell-grant","images":{},"images_metadata":{},"json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/documents/2026-10013?publication_date=2026-05-19","mods_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/metadata/granule/FR-2026-05-19/2026-10013/mods.xml","not_received_for_publication":null,"page_length":85,"page_views":{"count":4101,"last_updated":"2026-05-22 12:15:04 -0400"},"pdf_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2026-05-19/pdf/2026-10013.pdf","presidential_document_number":null,"proclamation_number":null,"public_inspection_pdf_url":"https://public-inspection.federalregister.gov/2026-10013.pdf?1779108315","publication_date":"2026-05-19","raw_text_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/text/2026/05/19/2026-10013.txt","regulation_id_number_info":{"1840-AD99":null},"regulation_id_numbers":["1840-AD99"],"regulations_dot_gov_info":{"supporting_documents":[],"comments_count":0,"agency_id":"ED","comments_url":"https://www.regulations.gov/docketBrowser?rpp=50&so=DESC&sb=postedDate&po=0&dct=PS&D=ED_FRDOC_0001","supporting_documents_count":0,"docket_id":"ED_FRDOC_0001","document_id":"ED_FRDOC_0001-1142","regulation_id_number":null,"title":"Recently Posted ED Rules and Notices.","checked_regulationsdotgov_at":"2026-05-20T11:55:04Z"},"regulations_dot_gov_url":null,"significant":null,"signing_date":null,"start_page":29254,"subtype":null,"title":"Accountability in Higher Education and Access Through Demand-Driven Workforce Pell: Pell Grant Exclusion Relating to Other Grant Aid; and Workforce Pell Grants","toc_doc":"Pell Grant Exclusion Relating to Other Grant Aid and Workforce Pell Grants","toc_subject":"Accountability in Higher Education and Access through Demand-Driven Workforce Pell","topics":["Administrative practice and procedure","Colleges and universities","Consumer protection","Education of disadvantaged","Grant programs-education","Reporting and recordkeeping requirements","Student aid","Vocational education"],"type":"Rule","volume":91}
