It?s good news this time. I?m talking about the SWASFAA Conference on November 4-6 at the Sandia Resort and Casino in Albuquerque. This year?s conference is jam-packed with informative sessions, but that doesn?t mean we can?t have fun and relax at the same time. People are going to love the location. The hotel has a golf course?and spa on-site, and the beautiful Sandia Mountains provide a dramatic backdrop. For all you trivia buffs, sandia translates to watermelon in Spanish. At sunset, when the light strikes the mountains, they turn a reddish hue (hence the name). In addition to all that, the hotel includes a casino, shopping, restaurants, and a bar/lounge area. ? When I visited the hotel last spring, I took a free shuttle ride to Sandiago?s, a nearby restaurant with a patio that offers a great view of the city. I highly recommend you go at sunset so you can watch the landscape change colors before your very eyes. The view after dark, when the city lights are visible, is also spectacular. It?s important to experience the culture when you visit a city. We had a lot of fun indulging in the culture of New Orleans last year, and likewise, we want this year?s conference attendees to experience the uniqueness of New Mexico. On Thursday night, we have shuttles that will transport everyone to Albuquerque?s Old Town.? The area is similar to Santa Fe?s Plaza, but the galleries and boutiques are less expensive than the ones in Santa Fe, which is always good news for thrifty people like me. You?ll have time to wander through the area to visit some of the sites after dinner. Speaking of dinner, we?ll provide a full meal at a restaurant in the heart of the district while a mariachi band plays live music for everyone. Another exciting part of Albuquerque is the Breaking Bad experience. This is one of my all-time favorite shows (catch it on Netflix if you haven?t already seen it?it?s so good!). Breaking Bad was filmed in Albuquerque, so you might recognize some of the locations. They are now filming the second season of the prequel series, Better Call Saul. Maybe some of us can snag a gig as walk-on extras. I can dream, right? We will continue to showcase some of the wonders of New Mexico, AKA the Land of Enchantment, through this blog, in case you want to extend your stay for an extra day or two. Shuttles to Santa Fe are cheap and frequent, and the ride is only about an hour each way. Be sure to check out the conference mini-site and don't forget to review the other SWASFAA events going on that same week, including Boot Camp and the Leadership Workshop.

I'm sure many of us will be asked to start packaging earlier. Never a dull moment in our world! https://www.whitehouse.gov/the-press-office/2015/09/14/fact-sheet-president%E2%80%99s-plan-early-financial-aid-improving-college-choice FACT SHEET: The President's Plan for Early Financial Aid: Improving College Choice and Helping More Americans Pay for College A higher education is one of the most important investments Americans can make in their future. To help students and families make that investment, the Obama Administration has taken steps to make it easier than ever before to apply for and access federal grants and loans. Since taking office, President Obama has significantly simplified the Free Application for Federal Student Aid, known as the FAFSA(r). The Administration has revamped the online form for all families so they can skip questions that are not relevant to them. In addition, over 6 million students and parents took advantage of the ability to electronically retrieve their income information from the IRS when completing their 2014-2015 FAFSA, an innovation that improves both speed and accuracy. Today, students and families on average fill out the FAFSA in about 20 minutes, only one third of the time it took seven years ago. Even with these improvements, an estimated 2 million students who are enrolled in college and would be eligible for a Pell Grant never applied for aid, and an unknown number failed to enroll in college because they did not know that aid is available. And these improvements have been limited by two factors: (1) the application start date of the FAFSA form, which is made available on January 1st for each upcoming school year, and (2) the timing of tax filing, which means that the tax retrieval tool is only available to FAFSA applicants who have already filed their taxes. Tomorrow in Des Moines, the President will announce a new initiative to allow students and families to apply for financial aid earlier - starting in October as the college application process gets underway - rather than in January. In addition, students filling out the FAFSA will be able to electronically retrieve tax information filed for an earlier year, rather than waiting until tax season to complete their applications. Learning about aid eligibility options much earlier in the college application and decision process will allow students and families to determine the true cost of attending college - taking available financial aid into account - and make more informed decisions. Together with the new College Scorecard - which is redesigned with direct input from students, families, and their advisers to provide the clearest, most accessible, and most reliable national data on cost, graduation, debt, and post-college earnings - students will have more information to choose the right college than ever before. The President will also announce complementary efforts to make sure students see the full benefits of the earlier FAFSA timeline to improve their access to college and help them make better college choices. Colleges and universities and scholarship organizations have already committed to align their aid timelines with the earlier FAFSA, and nonprofits and advisers have committed to raise awareness about the FAFSA changes and to help reach 100 percent FAFSA completion. Finally, the President will renew his call on Congress to pass legislation to simplify FAFSA even further by eliminating up 30 questions that are disproportionately burdensome and have little impact on aid eligibility. Earlier, Easier Process for Federal Financial Aid: Beginning on October 1, 2016, students can apply for financial aid a few months after they and their parents file their 2015 tax returns with reliable information retrieved electronically from the IRS, rather than waiting until the next year's tax season to finalize their FAFSAs and to learn about their financial aid. Giving students and families the ability to submit their FAFSAs earlier and to use earlier income data, commonly referred to as "prior-prior" year, will have several important benefits: * Earlier information: Students and families will get a reliable understanding of their aid eligibility as early as the fall - the same time many high school students are searching for, applying to, and even selecting colleges. * Simpler applications: More students and families will be able to complete their FAFSAs using information retrieved electronically directly from the IRS a few months after they and their parents file their 2015 tax returns, reducing the number of applicants who need to estimate income or taxes paid, only to correct their application later. * More students receiving Pell Grants and other aid: Over the next several years, the simpler FAFSA filing process could encourage hundreds of thousands of additional students to apply for and claim the aid they are eligible for - and enroll in college. * Reduced burden on colleges: In recent years, colleges and universities have spent as many as 3 million total hours each year verifying FAFSA information, including income and other tax return data. These colleges and universities will be able to avoid much of the burden of verifying tax return information when students apply using data retrieved directly from the IRS. New Efforts from Colleges, Scholarships, Advisers, & Non-Profits: Many groups have important roles to play to ensure that the earlier availability of the FAFSA facilitates access to higher education and informed college choice. A number of colleges and universities, scholarship programs, and counseling associations also announced plans that will help more students and families benefit from the easier, earlier FAFSA application timeline, including: * Aligning College Financial Aid Processes: The National Association of Student Financial Aid Administrators (NASFAA), whose member institutions serve 90 percent of undergraduates, expects hundreds of colleges and universities to adjust their financial aid processes to align with prior-prior year before the 2017-18 academic year. The entire University of California system has already committed to moving up their financial aid advising and awarding calendars, as have Anne Arundel Community College, Loyola University, Michigan State University, Oregon State University, Stonehill College, the University of Illinois-Urbana Champaign and the University of Texas-San Antonio. * Aligning Private Scholarship Deadlines: Scholarship America will encourage 1,200 scholarship and educational assistance providers - which gave 125,000 students a total of $236 million in 2014 - to align their application cycles with the earlier FAFSA application cycle. Scholarship America will also encourage all of its 532 Dollars for Scholars affiliates - which distributed $18.5 million to 24,800 students in last year - to shift to earlier scholarship application periods and host events across the country to help students complete their FAFSAs. * 100% FAFSA Completion: The National College Access Network's 400 college success programs, which serve over 2 million students, is committing to using the extra time created by early FAFSA filing for its counselors to reach 100 percent FAFSA completion among program participants. Earlier FAFSA availability will allow these programs to reallocate more than 500,000 hours of advising time to helping students better match with colleges that can best support them through to completion. * Integration with the College Application Campaign: The American College Application Campaign, pioneered by the American Council on Education, is a 50-state initiative that encourages low-income and first generation students to apply for college, will highlight the early opportunity to apply for student aid as part of its outreach efforts. Calling on Congress to Simplify the FAFSA: Many of the most time-consuming questions on the FAFSA cannot be completed with IRS data because they require information that is not reported on tax returns. To answer those burdensome questions, students would have to collect information about assets, untaxed and other unusual forms of income from multiple sources - much of which financial aid eligible students lack. Because these questions are required by law, President Obama has renewed his call for Congress to further simplify the FAFSA by removing questions regarding savings, investments, and net worth, and eliminating, questions related to untaxed income and exclusions from income that are not reported to the IRS. In all, up to 30 burdensome and unnecessarily complex questions would be eliminated, shortening the FAFSA application substantially, and making it easier for students and families to access critical resources to pay for college. Tomorrow's announcement is part of the President's continued effort to make college more affordable. The President has doubled investments in college scholarships by expanding Pell Grant and the American Opportunity Tax Credit programs; made student loans more affordable by cutting interest rates and allowing student borrowers to cap student loan payments at 10 percent of income; and called for two years of free community college for responsible students. With tomorrow's announcement, more students can access the aid that can support them through college completion, and onwards to other personal and career goals.

Below is a summary of all of the responses. Sounds like the IRS is functioning with all the consistent urgency and efficiency that you would expect from them. :) I've had a parent that has requested one and they have been waiting over 3 weeks. ICTC has had some delay for some and not for others. Yes Yes, I have had several wait 3 weeks or more. Two over 30 days. Yes, several have reported 3-4 weeks!!!! Other complaints are about not the new user ID/pass word, even when they copy and paste them. Yes, long delays. The online system has not worked since it was "hacked." All requests are by paper - and very inconsistent about time. But at least a month. I've one student that has been waiting a couple of months. I'm sure her must be lost. I've asked to re-submit her request. Just the normal 5-10 days on most cases. If the student is in need of them quickly I have them go to the OKC office and that has been pretty productive. We haven't seen any real delay with any of our students trying to get them unless they've moved and have a new address!! Not beyond the 5-10 days the IRS states on their website. We have had recent tax filers who couldn't get one that quickly because their taxes were still being processed. But that has been happening all year and was anticipated by IRS and ED. But while we are on the subject, we've had a good number of families affected by the IRS hacking and/or IRS identity theft. That has caused considerable angst. Yes, but with the on-line down, they had allowed walk-in service. So the student/parent can get it on the spot. From: Schmerer, Mendy M.

(HSC) Subject: [Released] [SWASFAA Team Chatter] Reason #8 to attend SWASFAA in New Mexico SWASFAA Team Chatter has posted a new item, 'Reason #8 to attend SWASFAA in New Mexico' The National Museum of Nuclear Science & History in ABQ, NM The National Museum of Nuclear Science & History was established in 1969 as an intriguing place to learn the story of the Atomic Age, from early research of nuclear development through today?s peaceful uses of nuclear technology. Visitors can explore how nuclear science continues to influence our world. The museum strives to present, through permanent and changing exhibits and displays, the diverse applications of nuclear energy in the past, present and future along with the stories of the field?s pioneers. The National Museum of Nuclear Science & History is a Smithsonian Affiliate and is accredited through the American Alliance of Museums Brief History The creation of the Museum in 1969 was the result of a six-year effort to establish a museum to tell the story of the base and the development of nuclear weapons. The Museum was located on Kirtland Air Force Base. In 1973, the museum name was changed to National Atomic Museum to reflect the growing national and international audience and the fact that it was the only public museum that preserved the history of the nuclear industry. The Museum closed its doors at the Kirtland Air Force Base in New Mexico on September 11, 2001, due to heightened security measures at the Base. The National Atomic Museum was in its rented Old Town location from May 11, 2002 to February 7, 2009; the Museum re-opened in its current location in southeast Albuquerque in April 2009, when it was renamed The National Museum of Nuclear Science & History. The exhibits at the National Museum of Nuclear Science & History provide an objective, accessible window into the past, present, and future of nuclear science. They cover everything from the very origins of atomic theory, the complexity of the political scenarios contributing to World War II, the height of the Cold War, to modern-day advances in nuclear medicine ? and even begin to speculate about the future of this fascinating and exciting field. The Museum gives its visitors a memorable and vivid understanding of nuclear science and history.
