California Adult Education Program logo
The 2020-21 CAEP preliminary allocations, including the $12.3 million COLA, and memo have been posted on the California Adult Education website. By May 2, 2020, CAEP consortia will submit the annual Consortium Fiscal Administration Declaration (CFAD) in NOVA. To uphold the CAEP Office’s process for determining the payment schedule, there will be no extensions granted past May 2, 2020.


CAEP Reminder: 17-18 Close Out in NOVA – Beginning March 1, 2020

Consortia members can begin submitting the 17-18 close out on March 1, 2020. As part of the Q2 expenditure reporting in NOVA, the State will close out by having all members certify all 17-18 CAEP funds have been spent with no remaining balance. If there is a remaining balance, NOVA will generate an invoice to return 17-18 funds to the State General Fund.

For more information on this process and more, register and attend the March 6th webinar at 12:00 p.m.
