(WXIA) -- Registration for the 2014 General Educational Development tests is now open on the new MyGED website.

The site, located at ged.com, offers study plans, skills assessments and other resources to help adults receive the equivalent of a high school diploma.

The 2014 GED program launches on Jan. 2. It was overhauled to better prepare GED candidates for higher education and the working world, and ultimately allow them to find jobs with higher pay.

The website also features a list of GED testing centers across metro Atlanta.

ATLANTA -- The Fulton Atlanta Community Action Authority has run out of money for its Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP), despite increased funding from the federal government.

FACAA has posted this notice on its website: "Funds for LIHEAP have been exhausted. No further appointments for applications can be provided until further notice."

Seniors began applying for as much as $350 in help in November. Monday was supposed to be the first application day for other residents who fall below the income cap.

Rep. John Lewis (D-Atlanta) issued a statement late Monday after receiving complaints from constituents who were turned away.

"Even though there have been automatic cuts to some federal spending programs that have dramatically affected many of my constituents in the 5th District, this program is not one of them," Rep. Lewis said.
