Sec. 792.226  Who determines if a Federal employee qualifies as a lower income employee and how is the program administered?

    The agency or another appropriately identified organization 
determines eligibility using certain income and/or tuition criteria 
chosen by the agency. If the agency itself does not administer the 
program, it must select another organization to do so, using procedures 
that are in accordance with the Federal Acquisition Regulations. 
Regardless of what organization administers the program, the model for 
determining both the tuition assistance eligibility and the amount of 
the subsidy is always determined by the Federal agency.
