Sec. 664.205  How is the ``deficient in basic literacy skills'' criterion in Sec. 664.200(c)(1) defined and documented?

    (a) Definitions and eligibility documentation requirements regarding 
the ``deficient in basic literacy skills'' criterion in 
Sec. 664.200(c)(1) may be established at the State or local level. These 
definitions may establish such criteria as are needed to address State 
or local concerns, and must include a determination that an individual:
    (1) Computes or solves problems, reads, writes, or speaks English at 
or below the 8th grade level on a generally accepted standardized test 
or a comparable score on a criterion-referenced test; or
    (2) Is unable to compute or solve problems, read, write, or speak 
English at a level necessary to function on the job, in the individual's 
family or in society. (WIA secs. 101(19), 203(12).)
    (b) In cases where the State Board establishes State policy on this 
criterion, the policy must be included in the State plan. (WIA secs. 
101(13)(C)(i), 101(19).)
