FAFSA-on-the-Web Simplification Update, January 5, 2010

Fewer Questions: Questions are now asked only of applicants with relevant characteristics.

Friendlier Navigation: The entire online form has been redesigned, making it more user-friendly.
IRS data share: Students applying for aid in the spring semester using the 2009-2010 application for aid will be able to retrieve and import their tax data from the IRS.

What’s Proposed: In order to further facilitate simplification, the Administration has asked Congress to remove the remaining asset questions and other financial information that cannot be found on a family’s tax return. HR 3221, legislation that has been passed by the House of Representatives, begins this task by removing most asset information from the needs analysis equation. Removing all of the asset questions would make it possible for students to apply for aid using only the financial information already found on their tax returns.

Please see the website, www.ifap.ed.gov , for eligibility criteria and application materials.
