"To add to the myriad of FAFSA delays and issues, the Department of Education announced today that the batch correction functionality for FAFSA submissions will be deferred to the 2025-26 cycle, leading to more challenges for educational institutions and students," The College Investor writes.

... "Beth Maglione, Interim NASFAA President & CEO, expressed her frustration, emphasizing the federal government’s obligation to ensure students receive their financial aid on time. 'Today’s announcement is beyond frustrating,” she said. “The Department of Education has failed to provide a key FAFSA deliverable when promised.'"
