fafsa的一些变化
其中一个关键的改进是 简化FAFSA itself as the maximum number of questions will be reduced significantly. 另外, not all students will need to answer all of the questions due to the FAFSA's dynamic nature on the web.
从2024-25年开始, FAFSA的捐助者, [students, spouses, and parents] submitting prior-prior year [2022] tax information on the FAFSA will need to use the IRS Direct Data Exchange (DDX) to retrieve their tax information or non-filing status. As a result, there may be fewer questions that need to be answered. Therefore, FAFSA的捐助者 with tax information reported must obtain an FSA ID.
The 2024 - 25 FAFSA will now calculate a 学生资助指数(SAI) and no longer utilize the Expected Family Contribution [EFC]. The SAI, unlike the EFC, may be a negative number, with a minimum amount of -1500.
以前, the FAFSA calculated the number of household members attending college into the EFC, dividing it proportionately to determine aid eligibility. 从2024-25年FAFSA开始, the number of household members in college will not be calculated into the SAI to determine aid eligibility. This decision was made by Congress and may only be modified by Congress.
在某些情况下, FAFSA的捐助者 will be required to report the value of their farms or small businesses. Contributors to the FAFSA who qualify must disclose their farm/small business worth on the 2024 - 25 FAFSA, and they may factor into the SAI calculation.
