FAFSA Verification Efficiency Act

HR 7893, the FAFSA Verification Efficiency Act, requires the Secretary of Education to verify applicants' Social Security numbers and citizenship status for federal student aid applications. This applies directly to students and families submitting the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). The bill mandates that the Education Department work with the Social Security Administration to verify this information, replacing previous language about "the Secretary" with a specific verification requirement. The change focuses on streamlining the process for confirming eligibility details required under federal student aid law.
