Federal Student Aid (FSA) on Friday issued guidance on how it will implement several items from the FAFSA Simplification Act for the 2023-24 award year.

FSA announced earlier in the week in the Federal Register it would implement these changes for the 2023-24 award year using authority granted by Congress in the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2022.
