"Watchdog Investigates Biden Administration's FAFSA Rollout as Colleges Extend Acceptance Dates"

The Biden administration's rollout of a new system for federal financial aid has faced delays and glitches, prompting a government watchdog to open two investigations. The delays have affected the processing of Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) applications, causing colleges to delay admissions deadlines and potentially impacting students' ability to receive financial aid. The Government Accountability Office is investigating the Department of Education's handling of the process, citing critical gaps in developing cost estimates and scheduling.
