GRACE Act

The GRACE Act (HR 1825) requires the U.S. Department of Education to eliminate the Office of Enforcement, which was created in 2021 to oversee federal student aid programs. The bill directs the Secretary of Education, through the chief operating officer of the Office of Federal Student Aid, to disband this office. This change affects only the Department’s internal administrative structure and does not alter student aid policies or directly impact students, schools, or financial aid rules. The legislation focuses solely on restructuring a specific agency office, with no new funding or program requirements.
