SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

On September 1, 2021, the Department published in the Federal Register the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA®) Information To Be Verified for the 2022-2023 Award Year notice (86 FR 49002), which announced the FAFSA information that an institution and an applicant may be required to verify, as well as the acceptable documentation for verifying FAFSA information. In that notice, the Department removed high school completion status as a verification item under the V4 and V5 tracking groups starting with the 2022-2023 FAFSA processing year. In the Deadline Dates notice (87 FR 33135), the Department should not have included high school completion status as a verification item under the V4 and V5 tracking groups starting with the 2022-2023 FAFSA processing year. Accordingly, the Department is removing references to verification of high school completion status in the Deadline Dates notice.
