, that would make it easier for the agency and the Internal Revenue Service to share taxpayer data so students can speed through the aid application and reduce the need for verification of income. All of the FAFSA changes are slated to land in the fall.
Advocacy groups grew concerned late last year that the department had not given a firm commitment to the launch date for the revamped FAFSA form. NASFAA and the National College Attainment Networkto Education Secretary Miguel Cardona and Susan Rice, the president’s chief domestic policy adviser, in December seeking assurances.
NCAN Executive Director Kim Cook said Tuesday that school counselors, state aid administrators and college advisers “need a clear release date that allows them to adjust their planning for the already significant changes ahead.”Cook and other advocates note that the FAFSA is critical for federal and state aid, as many states rely on the form to dole out their financial aid funds.
Getting thousands of award notices out the door takes a lot of work, Conroy said, and the later colleges get students’ financial aid information, the less time there is to finalize award notices, so students have accurate information to work with“My biggest concern is for students, especially marginalized and first-generation students, who might need help completing their FAFSA,” Conroy said.
