This bill, known as the FAFSA Verification Efficiency Act , aims to enhance the integrity and efficiency of the federal student aid application process by amending the Higher Education Act of 1965. It specifically mandates that the Secretary of Education , in collaboration with the Commissioner of the Social Security Administration , verify both the social security number and citizenship status of any individual required to provide this information for federal student aid applications. This amendment to Section 484(o) streamlines and improves the accuracy of data verification for applicants seeking financial assistance under sections 483, 484(a), and 494 of the Act, ensuring more reliable information for federal student aid eligibility.
