Extension of Continuing Appropriations and Other Matters Act, 2024
This bill extends government funding deadlines for fiscal year 2024 and modifies the FAFSA financial aid application process. Division A extends key funding expiration dates to March 8 and March 22, 2024, ensuring continued government operations. Division B adjusts how student income is calculated for financial aid, setting a minimum $1,500 deduction for the 2024-2025 award year and appropriating $1.17 billion for 2024 to support these changes. It directly affects students applying for federal financial aid and government agencies requiring ongoing funding.
