U.S. Citizenship and Eligible Noncitizen Status Overview

Confirming a student's U.S. citizenship or eligible noncitizen status is a fundamental step in the Title IV eligibility process. Join NASFAA's Norma Robinson as she explains the overall picture: who qualifies as a U.S. citizen or an eligible noncitizen, SSA and DHS matches, documentation requirements, and third-step verification. This session will provide financial aid professionals with the information needed to reduce the uncertainty in making and documenting these critical eligibility decisions.
