Section 483, of the Higher Education Act of 1965, as amended (HEA), mandates that the Secretary of Education ââ¦shall produce, distribute, and process free of charge common financial reporting forms as described in this subsection to be used for application and reapplication to determine the need and eligibility of a student for financial assistance...â. The determination of need and eligibility are for the following Title IV, HEA, federal student financial assistance programs: the Federal Pell Grant Program; the Campus-Based programs (Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant (FSEOG) and Federal Work-Study (FWS)); the William D. Ford Federal Direct Loan (Direct Loan) Program; the Teacher Education Assistance for College and Higher Education (TEACH) Grant; the Children of Fallen Heroes Scholarship and the Iraq and Afghanistan Service Grant. Federal Student Aid (FSA), an office of the U.S. Department of Education (hereafter âthe Departmentâ), subsequently developed an application process to collect and process the data necessary to determine a studentâs eligibility to receive Title IV, HEA program assistance. The application process involves an applicantâs submission of the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA®). This is a request for revisions of a current information collection, and important changes to the FAFSA form are described separately in the two Summary of Enhancements to the 2023-24 Free Application for Federal Student Aid documents (one for general FAFSA changes, and one to describe web and mobile app specific changes).
US Code:
20 USC 1090
Name of Law: Higher Education Act of 1965,
The Department adjusted the data set used to calculate the burden projections. For 2023-2024 estimates, we utilized the 2020-2021 application cycle results, which offered a complete data set, to forecast individual burden. The Department believes this more accurately reflects and depicts our respondent universe. The Department is projecting a response decrease of 7,025,328. The Department is projecting a burden decrease of 3,466,325 hours. The burden decrease is attributed to two main reasons â a significant decrease in estimated corrections, and an enhanced and optimized electronic FAFSA form.
