I noticed that the Dept has posted the following: *Yesterday, August 14, 2018, the Department published in the Federal Register a notice of proposed rulemaking to rescind the gainful employment (GE) regulations, which added subpart Q of the Student Assistance General Provisions for programs that prepare students for gainful employment in a recognized occupation.* *The Department also announces plans to update the College Scorecard, or a similar web-based tool, to provide program-level outcomes for all higher education programs, at all institutions that participate in the programs authorized by title IV of the Higher Education Act of 1965, as amended, which would improve transparency and inform student enrollment decisions through a market-based accountability system.* *The public will have 30 days, until September 13, 2018 at 11:59 EDT, to provide comments through www.regulations.gov .* I don't ever remember writing in support of a proposal but I did this morning. This is a big burden on smaller schools with low numbers. It is so time consuming and every year I have to pull out all my notes and relearn what I'm suppose to do. Even then, I am not confident I am doing everything correctly. I assumed everyone would be glad for GE reporting to go away but I looked at some of the comments being submitted and there are some students (I assume) who are writing because they are upset at some schools that they feel mislead them. I understand their concern but I do hope the Department can address this another way. If you support this proposal, please take a few minutes and send in a comment.

Unless things have changed in Band classes since I was in high school, most students had to pay for their own instruments anyway unless they played a harp, a string bass, or a low brass instrument (Euphonium, Tuba, etc) I had to buy my own trombone in fifth grade. I would count Drivers Ed curriculum and fuel (not the car) because those expenses are usually covered by the school. At least where I come from in Kansas. Grad expenses - usually, no. Many schools where I am from have fees for graduation. Dance and Band expenses - that is a hard one. Most were covered by the school when I was in school and so I could see where it could be a legit extra expense for a homeschool family. My general thought as I worked with these and trained others in homeschool financial aid in Kansas and RMASFAA was to try to figure out if the expense would have been a expense the family would have had in public or private school. If the family would have had to pay for the item or activity anyway, I would say no; but if it was something that would be covered by the school if they attended a traditional school, then I tended to say yes. Also, if the dance or music was included as a class with a grade on their HS transcript, I would be more likely to accept (with consideration to the first sentence in the paragraph). I used this more as a rule of thumb than a hard and fast absolute rule, but that thinking generally help you come to a decision. Hopefully this long, drawn out, and rambling reply helps.

Have a dependent student who was selected for verification. The students mother did not work, however; the father worked but under someone else's social security number that he bought. He made under the amount according to what he has told my counselor to where he is not required to file a tax return. The student also has OK Promise which cannot be paid until verification can be completed. They filed a tax return in 2009 using the ITIN number, we believe the reason they have not filed using the ITIN number is they are afraid. My question is how would you handle this situation? Would you take a letter and/or w2 from the employer to verify the income and move on? Not trying to get anyone in trouble and that includes my staff.
