Introduced·4/21/26

FAFSA Verification Efficiency Act aims to enhance the verification of social security numbers for federal student aid.

The FAFSA Verification Efficiency Act amends the Higher Education Act of 1965 to improve the verification process for social security numbers provided to the Secretary of Education for federal student aid. It mandates the Secretary of Education, in cooperation with the Commissioner of the Social Security Administration, to verify the social security number and citizenship status of individuals applying for federal student aid. This change aims to streamline the verification process and ensure accuracy in federal student aid applications.
