This week on a special episode of "Off The Cuff," Justin, Karen, and Allie are joined by former OTC podcast hosts, Stephen Payne, executive director of external relations at Muhlenberg College, and Megan Coval, interim president of Butler County Community College. Karen kicks off the episode by debriefing listeners on several NASFAA letters. After the policy team update, the whole group reminisces on the early days of the podcast and share special memories as Justin departs from his role next week.

NASFAA on Wednesday submitted a letter to Congressional education and finance committee leadership asking for technical amendments to fix issues NASFAA members have identified in the FAFSA Simplification and FUTURE Acts. Those fixes include adding back the FAFSA questions asking students’ housing plans, allowing for an alternate SAI, and requiring ED to study the impacts of changes to the treatment of families with multiple students in college and small business and family farm owners. Moving forward, NASFAA will be undertaking work to examine broader policy changes including the new SAI formula. That work will inform future advocacy.
