To assist schools in implementing procedures pertaining to the 2017-2018 Early FAFSA processing cycle that begins on October 1, 2016 Federal Student Aid has created two new repositories for related information.
The first contains early FAFSA Regulations: http://1.usa.gov/1WZNrmy
The second provides Frequently Asked Questions: http://1.usa.gov/1SJlP4V
Institutions should review all applicable requirements and guidance to ensure that they are in compliance with the applicable FAFSA and verification requirements.
