In addition, Congress passed legislation offering relief from certain statutory requirements related to the Title IV, HEA programs.  \nAlthough COVID-19 continues to affect the lives of many Americans, the urgent need for waivers and flexibilities has diminished. The COVID-19 national emergency ended on April 10, 2023, through enactment of Public Law 118-3 . The COVID-19 public health emergency ended on May 11, 2023 . These actions triggered the sunsetting of many waivers and flexibilities for the Title IV programs.  \nFor more details, see the Electronic Announcement GENERAL-23-46 of June 14, 2023 .  \nRecent Changes  \nThroughout this volume, we have added and updated links for easy access to regulations and other supporting guidance.
