Sorry all
Should have had this in call notes:

From Lauren Walizer at CLASP:  Ability to Benefit: we support restoring the full Pell award (mandatory portion of the award) to students who are currently eligible. While addressing issues with ability to benefit, I think it also makes sense to better align the definition of career pathway with what is in WIOA. The current definition in HEA doesn't fully align with WIOA's definition, and we have heard from institutions that this poses some issues. Legislative language making this change has been included in the 2016 Senate appropriations bill (pages 131-132): https://www.congress.gov/114/bills/s1695/BILLS-114s1695pcs.pdf
