Updates to the FAFSA formula are expected to provide more financial assistance to students from low- and moderate-income households, but the Education Department has received fewer submissions than the previous year, with some students still struggling to complete the form. These issues are causing delays in colleges providing financial aid packages, and the department has issued notices to address the problems.
