Bill overview
This bill, the No Aid for Ghost Students Act of 2026, aims to prevent fraudulent applications for federal financial aid. It requires the Department of Education to use an identity fraud detection system to review each FAFSA submitted after October 1, 2026, and flag applications suspected of being fraudulent. If a suspicion of fraud is raised, the applicant will be notified, and the application will be sent to the schools they’ve applied to, alerting them to potential issues. Institutions will then be required to verify the applicant’s identity before disbursing aid.
