@SheridanFinAid @econroy_1 @collecamp During subcommittee hearings on that truly bipartisan 1998 reauth, Rep. Dale Kildee frequently announced in his booming voice to the assembled Members and staff in the Dem committee anteroom that we were passing “a Democratic HEA reauthorization bill in a Republican Congress!”

Another question: has anyone said anything about reauthorizing HEA during this hearing?

@EDAnalyst Huge interagency lift noted in the article: “implementing….the FUTURE Act, that would make it easier for [ED] and the I[RS] to share taxpayer data so students can speed through the aid application and reduce the need for verification of income.” Crucial to include in new FAFSA!

We're expanding access to critical mental health care through the Behavioral Healthcare Provider Loan Redemption Program. If you work as a behavioral health provider in New Jersey, you're now eligible for up to $180,000 in student loan forgiveness. hesaa.org/Pages/BHLRP.as…
