Abstract: Collection of this information is used for status confirmation which reduces the potential of fraud and abuse caused by ineligible aliens receiving Federally subsidized student financial assistance under Title IV of the Higher Education Act of 1965, as amended (HEA). The respondent population is institutions of higher education who must submit a USCIS Form G0845 when automated secondary confirmation of the applicant's immigration match status fails, and individuals who must submit evidence of eligibility to receive Title IV financial assistance.
