Received in the Senate and Read twice and referred to the Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions.
Summary
The bill amends the Higher Education Act so the Secretary of Education must use an identity‑fraud detection system to review each FAFSA starting Oct. 1, 2026. If a reasonable suspicion of fraud is found, the applicant and the schools they selected are notified, and schools may not release federal aid until the student's identity is verified in person or via live video. The goal is to stop fraudulent “ghost” students from receiving federal financial aid.
