Cleared committee, waiting for its first floor vote

A committee approved it and it is on the calendar of the chamber it started in.

This is further than most bills get, and still no promise of a vote: the calendar is a queue, and the majority leadership decides what is called. A bill can sit here until the Congress ends.

What this bill would do

The FAFSA Verification Efficiency Act aims to change how social security numbers are verified for Federal student aid. It amends the Higher Education Act of 1965. The bill requires the Secretary of Education to work with the Commissioner of the Social Security Administration. Together, they must verify the social security number and citizenship status of individuals providing this information for aid.
