OTC Inside The Beltway: Beta Testing Begins for the 2025-26 FAFSA

This week on "Off The Cuff," Beth and Karen are joined by Jon Fansmith, the American Council on Education's senior vice president of government relations and national engagement, to discuss new updates with the FAFSA and the appropriations process. Karen begins by debriefing listeners on the latest news surrounding the 2025-26 FAFSA, which began its beta testing this week. She also provides listeners with an update on the reprocessing of 2024-25 Institutional Student Information Records (ISIRs) and the availability of the correction functionality for 2024-25 paper FAFSAs. From there, Jon catches listeners up on the enactment of a short-term spending resolution which now funds the government through mid-December. Beth concludes the episode by giving some updates on the College Cost Transparency Initiative, which recently celebrated its one year anniversary.
