Efforts are being made by lawmakers to ensure students and families have access to financial aid through the FAFSA. Senator Capito worked on a fix to the FAFSA Simplification Act to protect the Pell Grant program. Senator Padilla and Senator Sanders are urging the Department of Education to address an error in the FAFSA form that hinders eligible students from completing the application if their parents lack a social security number. High school students are facing delays with federal FAFSA applications, impacting their college financial aid decisions.
