NASFAA knows this year’s FAFSA rollercoaster has consumed more of the financial aid office’s energies than in years past. However, this year’s changes aren’t limited to FAFSA simplification. They include several regulatory changes that become effective July 1, 2024. Read on to make sure your campus is prepared to comply with those regulations.

This AskRegs Q&A was updated on March 4, 2024 to add clarity. There is no perfect answer here. It is NASFAA’s understanding that the financial aid administrator (FAA) will know this if the student or student’s spouse answers “No” to the 1040/1040-NR question on the FAFSA and answers “Yes” to the foreign income question on the FAFSA—identified by a value of “1” in the ISIR field, “Filed non-U.S. tax return.” The school might also find out during a communication with the student or parent.
