Burden decreases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: Yes

Burden Reduction Due to: Changing Regulations

Short Statement: There are changes to the regulatory sections that align the payment periods and disbursements of Title IV grant and loan funds, thus decreasing burden on schools and students. In addition, there are changes to the requirements for disbursement of post-withdrawal grant proceeds, which reduce the burden on institutions by eliminating a notification and confirmation process, in those cases where the student is eligible to receive a disbursement of Title IV grant funds directly.
