What happened

Some supportReported by 2 outlets

The Department of Education launched the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) earlier than anticipated, noting the form was redesigned with clearer language and a family-friendly structure to help families navigate rising college costs. Meanwhile, reports indicate that recent administrative changes within the Department of Education have made the agency more complex and potentially inefficient, despite the administration's stated goal of cutting bureaucracy.
