Bill Summary
AN ACT To establish an earlier application processing cycle for the FAFSA.
AI Summary
This bill, the FAFSA Deadline Act, aims to establish an earlier application processing cycle for the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). It amends the Higher Education Act of 1965 to require the FAFSA to be processed not later than October 1 prior to the applicant's planned year of enrollment, rather than the current deadline of not later than January 1. Additionally, the bill requires the Secretary of Education to certify to congressional committees whether the Department will meet the October 1 deadline, and if not, to testify on the anticipated failure and the financial impact on students and families.
