The Department of Education is proposing changes to the existing information collection for the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) for the 2026-2027 period. The department is seeking feedback from the public to evaluate the necessity and efficiency of this collection process while aiming to reduce the reporting burden. Comments can be submitted electronically by April 7, 2025. The proposal estimates a reduction in burden hours and involves a comprehensive analysis of the application process components.
Simple Explanation
The Department of Education wants to change the way students fill out forms for money to go to school and is asking people to share their ideas on how to make it easier. They want to make the process take less time but need help figuring out the best way and how to use everyone's ideas.
