 \nThursday,July 24,1986  \n# AID OFFICERS SAY ED VERIFICATION PROCESS CAUSING DELAYS\n\nDALLAS --New verification requirements for federal student aid applicants haveburled student aid officers under a pile of paperwork and will delay the pro-cessing of thousands of loans and grants this fall,Education Departmentofficials were told here Tuesday.  \n\"Many of us are dead in the water,\"particularly when it comes to meeting newverification standards for the Guaranteed Student Loan(GSL)program,KathleenWicks,student assistance administrator for Michigan State University,told EDofficials addressing the National A8sociation of Student Financial Aid Admin-istrators'(NASFAA)12th annual conference.  \nWicks and many other NASFAA members told William Moran,director of ED's div1-  \nsion of policy and program development's office of student financial assis-  \ntance,that the new requirements,which took effectthis spring,did not give aid administrators enoughlead time to implement the verification practices.  \nConvention-  \nReport  \nDespite their complaints,the officers were toldnot to expect any relief before next fall.\"We realize that this is a complexdocument that is difficult to deal with,\"Moran said.\"We hope some time inthe future to refine the [regulation]to reduce the administrative burden and,at the same time,maintain its effectiveness.\"  \nED in March published the final regulation,which set up an integrated verifi-cation system for selected Pell Grant,GSL and campus-based loan program appli-cants(HED,March 17)。Citing quality control study indications that up to25 percent of Pell Grant awards are inappropriate,ED last year expanded itsPell Grant verification requirements and announced plans to extend them to GSLand the campus-based loans(HED,July 29,1985)。  \nUnder the rules,which apply for the 1986-87 award year,colleges and univers1-ties are directed to verify such facts as the adjusted gross income of an ap-plicant's family and selected students'claims of independent status.To dothat,aid officers must ask applicants for copies of their parents'federal taxforms,Internal Revenue Service W-2 forms and other information.  \nThere's the rub,said the aid officers.Since ED's regulations took effectafter most institutions already had malled student aid application materials toprospective 1986-87 applicants,requests being made now for additional verifi-cation information are confusing the applicants.In addition,it often takessix weeks or more to obtain a copy of one's tax return from the IRS,whichdelays the verification process even more.(more)  \nS  \n      July 24,1986  \n# AID OFFICERS SAY ED VERIFICATION PROCESS CAUSING DELAYS(Cont.)\n\n\"When students see these additional requirements,\"said Paul Orehovec,asso-ciate dean of students and director of financial aid at Ohio's College ofWooster,\"I fear they will just stop out or drop out\"rather than comply withthe verification procedures.\"We have to keep gofng back to the families\"ofapplicants,Orehovec said later,“and they don't understand why we are askingthem the same questions.It's an extremely confusing process.\"  \nOrehovec said his office,as of Tuesday,had processed only five verificationsof about 1,000 it was to complete before the fall.In addition,he said,GSLapplication processing\"is down.\"Normally,he said,Wooster's aid officewould have about 500 GSL applications processed by now.Under ED's verifica-tion rules,the figure is far short of that,he said.  \nNASFAA Executive Director Dallas Martin.on Mondav.saida1or rrODle血           ASrAA xecuLIve D1reCLOr Daa aLl        uaysbWooster's case is typical of college and university aid offices nationwide.According to information NASFAA is gathering on the problem,Martin said some70 percent of its members are experiencing“major problems”and another 20 per-cent“some problems”with the new requirements.  \n\"We're finding that,with an awful lot of [aid offices]so far,they're run-ning substantially behind\"in processing aid applications,said Martin.\"I","cbCaiuaicQdqU7fJ","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiuaicQdqU7fJ","pdf",1825774,"English","# AID OFFICERS REPORT DELAYS FROM NEW
