Education Department Acts to Resolve FAFSA Delays

As technical issues disrupt the financial aid process, measures are taken to ensure timely aid offers to students.

The U.S. Department of Education is implementing measures to expedite the FAFSA process amid delays, aiming to ensure students receive financial aid offers promptly.
Technical glitches and a delayed launch of the new FAFSA form have caused significant disruptions, affecting students' ability to make informed college decisions.
The updated FAFSA form, intended to simplify the application process, has instead led to confusion and frustration among applicants.
Colleges and universities are adjusting deadlines and seeking ways to accommodate students affected by the FAFSA delays.
Efforts are underway to address the challenges, including reducing verification requirements and providing additional support to underresourced institutions.
