The FAFSA Simplification Act: Unaccompanied Youth Experiencing Homelessness and Youth with Experience in Foster Care

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Postsecondary attainment is increasingly necessary to move out of poverty, and live a healthy life. Yet youth experiencing homelessness and youth from foster care face unique barriers in transitioning to and completing postsecondary education. One of the most significant barriers is access to financial aid; without financial aid, they cannot transition to and complete their college education, and remain at higher risk of continued homelessness and hardship as adults.

Unaccompanied youth experiencing homelessness are not living with, or supported by, a parent or guardian. Therefore, under the Higher Education Act, they are considered independent students and do not need to provide a parent's signature or information about parents' income on the FAFSA. Similarly, youth who were in foster care after age 13 are considered independent students. Despite these policies, a 2016 Government Accountability Office report found that burdensome financial aid program rules make it more difficult for both unaccompanied homeless youth and youth from foster care to obtain federal financial assistance for college.

The FAFSA Simplification Act (enacted as part of the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021 and updated by the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2022) aims to remove many of the barriers faced by youth experiencing homelessness or with experience in foster care. The U.S. Department of Education (ED) started implementing the FAFSA Simplification Act in phases with the 2023-2024 FAFSA and released further guidance in April 2023. The changes for homeless and foster youth are summarized below.

1. Homeless or foster care status does not need to be redetermined every year.

Under the FAFSA Simplification Act, any student who is determined to be an unaccompanied homeless youth, or a former foster youth, for a preceding award year is presumed to be independent for each subsequent year at the same institution, unless the student informs the institution that circumstances have changed, or the institution has specific conflicting information about the student's independence, and has informed the student of this information. According to guidance issued by ED in April 2023, renewal applicants who had their 2023-24 FAFSA form processed as an independent student due to a homeless youth determination are eligible to have their status carried forward if their circumstances remain unchanged and they are enrolled at the same institution for 2024-25. While schools may ask students if their homeless situation has changed, they may not maintain a practice that delays or hinders the awarding and/or disbursement of federal student aid, nor require them to submit additional documentation unless there is conflicting information that the institution needs to resolve.

In the past, delays in determinations have caused delays in aid, exacerbating financial hardship and basic needs challenges. Under FAFSA Simplification, determinations must be made as quickly as possible, may be made as early as the year before the award year for which the student submits the application, and must not be made later than during the award year for which the student initially submits the application.

Homeless youth receive services from an array of providers and educators. Under the FAFSA Simplification Act, additional individuals are authorized to verify this status. Authorized entities include:

School district homeless liaisons or their designee;

The director or a designee of a director of an emergency or transitional shelter, street outreach program, homeless youth drop-in center, or other program serving individuals who are experiencing homelessness;

The director or a designee of a director of a program funded under a TRIO or Gaining Early Awareness and Readiness for an Undergraduate program ("GEAR UP") grant;

A financial aid administrator at the current institution or at another institution who previously made a determination.

These entities can use this sample form letter to provide unaccompanied homeless youth with a determination.

For unaccompanied youth experiencing homelessness, documentation from one of the authorized entities may include a documented phone call, written statement, or verifiable electronic data match.

A court order or official State documentation that the student received Federal or State support in foster care

A documented phone call, written statement, or verifiable electronic data match, which confirms the student was in foster care at an applicable age

A documented phone call or a written statement from an attorney, a guardian ad litem, or a Court Appointed Special Advocate that confirms that the student was in foster care at an applicable age, and documents the person's relationship to the student, or

Verification of the student's eligibility for an education and training voucher under the John H. Chafee Foster Care Program.

Public schools are required to proactively identify unaccompanied homeless youth, inform them of their status as independent students, and help them get documentation. However, many unaccompanied homeless youth still are not identified in high school - and many youth become homeless after high school. In addition, there are very few shelters or other services for homeless youth. This means that financial aid administrators will continue to have a large role in making determinations of unaccompanied homeless youth status. Under the FAFSA Simplification Act:

Financial aid administrators must make determinations for unaccompanied homeless youth who are unable to get determinations from other entities.

These determinations must be based on a written statement from, or a documented interview with, a student that confirms that a student is an unaccompanied homeless youth (or unaccompanied, at risk, and self-supporting).

The determination must be made based on the legal definitions of homeless and unaccompanied contained in the education subtitle of the McKinney-Vento Act, and independently from the reasons that the student is an unaccompanied homeless youth, or is a youth who is unaccompanied, at risk of homelessness, and self-supporting.

Financial aid administrators can watch this role-playing video and use this template to see how to conduct an unaccompanied homeless youth documented interview. Alternatively, financial aid administrators can request students to fill out this written statement . Both of these examples are acceptable forms of documentation for unaccompanied homeless youth determinations.

The FAFSA Simplification Act requires the U.S. Department of Education to ensure that the 2024-2025 FAFSA will have a single question on homelessness status.

The question must be an "easily understood screening question" to identify an applicant who is an unaccompanied homeless youth, or unaccompanied, at risk of homelessness, and self-supporting.

The question must be "distinct from those relating to an individual who does not have access to parental income due to an unusual circumstance."

The FAFSA Simplification Act also permits students to complete the FAFSA as a "provisional" independent student if they believe they may qualify for independent status due to unusual situations such as parental abandonment, abuse, neglect, legally granted asylum, or student or parental incarceration. While these situations are frequently the cause of, or contributing factors to, youth homelessness, it is important to note that the new homeless and foster youth provisions are different and distinct from the new provisional independent student status. Unlike the provisional independent student status provision, financial aid administrators must make determinations for unaccompanied homeless youth and foster youth, following the processes outlined in the law - it is not a matter of their professional judgment. However, the provisional independent provisions may be helpful for youth who are neither homeless nor former foster youth, but who nonetheless have extenuating circumstances that preclude being able to obtain parental information.

Applicants must still indicate an unusual circumstance and request a determination of independence with their school. Starting in the 2024-25 FAFSA, students can submit their application under a provisional independent status until the financial aid office makes a determination. This will allow such applicants to receive a Student Aid Index (SAI) with an estimate of their Federal student aid eligibility, subject to a final determination by their school. Financial aid administrators must:

Notify students of the school's process, requirements, and reasonable timeline to review adjustment requests after their FAFSA form is submitted;

Provide students with a final determination of their dependency status and financial aid award as soon as practicable after reviewing all requested documentation;

Retain all documentation, including documented interviews, related to the adjustment for at least 3 years after the student's last term of enrollment; and

Presume that any student who has obtained an adjustment for unusual circumstances and a final determination of independence to be independent for each subsequent award year at the same institution unless the student informs the institution that their circumstances have changed or the institution has conflicting information about the student's independence.

Awesome!

One of my new fav shows!

Very relatable content

My favorite episode so far is the first episode of the Imposter Syndrome series because of how much I can relate to it. I can sincerely say that this episode helped me understand the many experiences and feelings I went through throughout my education, especially in high school. I never really knew how to explain how I felt or even why I felt the way I did in terms of feeling like I did not belong in a rigorous education setting or was not worthy enough, until I listened to this episode. Joseph did a wonderful job of honoring and respecting Karen's experience while connecting it back to the concept of Imposter Syndrome to make it relatable to all kinds of listeners. I am excited for the second episode of this series!

Helpful and Engaging

This is such a well-done podcast! I love the variety of voices and experiences shared on this show. I also would buy an album of the soundtrack because the transition music is fantastic.

After you submit your FAFSA or Dream Act there are some additional steps that you should be aware of.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
After you submit your FAFSA or Dream Act there are some additional steps that you should be aware of. For students who complete the FAFSA, there is something called a Student Aid Report (SAR) which is a summary of all information reported on the FAFSA. This summary is usually available to view a few days after you submit the FAFSA. It provides important information about potential issues with your FAFSA such as a mismatch between what you reported on the FAFSA and what the Social Security Administration has on file for your name and social security number. Any issues such as these need to be addressed as soon as possible- otherwise, it could create a delay in receiving your financial aid.

For students who complete the Dream Act, there is a very similar document called the Cal Student Aid Report (Cal SAR) which is a summary of all information reported on the Dream Act, available a few days after you submit your application. The Cal SAR also provides important information about potential issues with your Dream Act application. You should address any such issues as soon as possible to avoid delays in the financial aid process.

The SAR and Cal SAR also will include your official Expected Family Contribution (EFC). The EFC is determined by the information entered into the FAFSA or Dream Act such as family income, household size, and number in college. The EFC is an important index number that is used by colleges to determine what type of and how much financial aid you can receive based upon your need. The higher the EFC, the lower the need, and the lower the EFC, the higher the need. The EFC is not the exact amount you will have to pay for college, but instead, it can be thought of as the minimum amount you and your family will need to pay. Colleges will receive your EFC and use it to determine the student's eligibility for financial aid.

A helpful video about how to retrieve and download a Student Aid Report can be found
You Might Be Selected for Verification
Another step that you should be aware of is something called verification. Verification is a process in which the federal government and colleges can request copies of specific documents to confirm the accuracy of the information reported on financial aid forms. Some students are randomly selected for verification while others are selected due to conflicting information that the colleges are seeing on the financial aid forms.

Examples of documents required for verification can include any of the following if applicable:

Official tax transcripts or tax returns

Proof of citizenship/residency

Documentation of legal guardianship

This process must be completed in a timely manner! If you receive a verification request from a college you need to respond as quickly as you can so you do not miss out on potential financial aid that is first-come, first-served. Note that these verification requests may come through email, the school portal, and/or the regular postal mail.
Institutional Documentation Service - CSS Profile Submissions Only
For students required to complete the CSS Profile, there is a follow-up step that is similar to verification which is called Institutional Documentation Service (IDOC). If required, this process will also require you to submit additional documentation.

Watch a helpful video that shows how to request a tax transcript via IRS.GOV to be mailed home .

To find out you are required to complete IDOC, check out this .

Created by the College Board, this is a series of slides and videos that reviews the IDOC process that can be found .

Create a WebGrants 4 Students Account
California students also need to be aware of the steps to take to secure their Cal Grant, Middle-Class Scholarship (MCS), or Chafee Grant, if awarded. For general information about these financial aid programs, see our post "All About Cal Grants and Other CA Financial Aid". After you submit your FAFSA or Dream Act, you will need to create a WebGrants 4 Students (WG4S) account. This is the online portal that allows you to track the status of your state financial aid, complete required To-Do items and manage their award, and review your state financial aid history and remaining eligibility.

It is crucial that students complete your required steps by the appropriate deadlines, such as:

Confirm your intended school of attendance or make a school change

Certify your high school graduation date, for current high school seniors

Complete the Transfer Entitlement Certification, for community college transfer students

Complete the Cal Grant C Supplement, if being considered for Cal Grant C

Keep in mind that the timelines for you to complete these steps may vary depending on if you are a first-time applicant or renewing your award, as well as what type of award you are being considered for. You should keep track of their deadlines to ensure that you do not miss out on any state financial aid you may be eligible for. Once you have completed all of the requirements on your WG4S account, your intended college will be able to confirm their eligibility and move forward with issuing payment of their award.

Watch a help video created by the California Student Aid Commission about how to create your WebGrants 4 Students account

Check out a detailed description of how to complete certain steps on WG4S .

Academic Probation is a term used to describe when a student's overall, or campus GPA, falls below a 2.0. All students are subject to this rule.
What happens if I am on Academic Probation?
While on academic probation, there are a few things the school will require you to do.
What is the difference between Probation and Disqualification?
Academic Disqualification occurs when a student does not meet their class level GPA. When a student is academically disqualified, they may not be able to enroll in classes and are discontinued from attending the institution.
Can I still get financial aid on academic probation?
Yes, you can still get financial aid if you are on academic probation. Each school has specific rules and procedures to help you stay on track.
How can I make sure I don't lose aid?
To avoid potentially losing aid, you must have a status of Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) (check with your specific school on how to meet SAP). Failure to meet SAP may result in being ineligible for aid.
Tips on improving academic performance and staying out of probation

1. Meet with your advisors and professors for advisement

2. Take advantage of academic resources on campus, like your school's Learning Center

3. Being a proactive student

4. Following a structured schedule for studying and me-time

Another ESSA amendment to the McKinney-Vento Act requires school district liaisons to inform unaccompanied homeless youth of their status as independent students for financial aid (the Free Application for Federal Student Aid, or FAFSA) and help them obtain verification of that status.

To help implement this policy, we've prepared a sample form letter to determine the independent student status of unaccompanied homeless youth for the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (Microsoft Word). This form letter may be edited as appropriate for your school district, institution of higher education, shelter, transitional living program, or street outreach program.

Per federal guidance from the U.S. Department of Education, " if a student indicates that they are an unaccompanied homeless youth-or unaccompanied and self-supporting youth at-risk of homelessness-and the student is unable to provide documentation from at least one of the entities listed above, FAAs must review the student's circumstances and make the determination themselves.

Financial aid administrators have the responsibility to make determinations of unaccompanied homeless youth if youth are unable to get determinations from other entities. This template can be used by financial aid administrators to make unaccompanied homeless youth determinations.

Housing insecurity refers to a broader set of challenges that could include the inability to pay rent or utilities, need to move frequently, or residing in a place where personal safety or health is compromised.

Homelessness

Homelessness means that a student does not have a stable, reliable, or permanent place to live, often residing in a shelter, automobile, motel, a public facility, or an abandoned building or outside.

Student Basic Needs offers housing support by connecting students to resources that provide suitable housing or shelter in the Los Angeles area.

We are assisting students who are experiencing housing insecurity and homelessness on a case by case basis. Please email basicneeds@usc.edu for resources and support.
