The Department of Education (ED) on Wednesday published its first set of draft rules to provide targeted student debt relief to borrowers, just 10 months after the U.S. Supreme Court struck down the Biden administration’s initial student debt relief plan to cancel up to $20,000 of student debt for a wide swath of borrowers. 

Federal Student Aid (FSA) provided stakeholders with an updated resource to help students and contributors make corrections to their 2024-25 FAFSA form. According to FSA, the scenarios outlined in the resource should address the most common types of FAFSA corrections. FSA also noted that it has successfully processed 100,000 corrections as of April 16, and will begin to follow up with students if they need to make corrections in order to successfully submit their FAFSA.

In its latest electronic announcement the Department of Education (ED) provided details on codes that will appear on reprocessed ISIRs and its email campaign to contact applicants with rejected or incomplete 2024-25 FAFSAs.
