Our CFO is very interested in the schools who seem to be advertising that they are using HEERF III funds to "wipe student debt." We've seen a few articles floating around with these claims, but I've told him I don't see any stretch of the imagination that would
 allow this using the STUDENT grant portion. Everything I've read continues to insist that a student must give permission for a school to apply the funds to their balance and must be notified of their right to receive a check. He continues to ask me to research
 how schools are doing this... my guess is that they are calling it lost revenue and using the institutional portion?? Would anyone else agree? I don't see that the student portion can be used in this "automatically wiping balances" manner, but am I missing
 anything other schools have found?</div>

Last week, NASFAA published details of a new law-set to go into effect August 1, 2021-that includes several institutional disclosure requirements, some of which involve the financial aid office. NASFAA recently had the opportunity to engage with officials at
 the Veterans Administration (VA), which shed some light on how schools can comply or may already be complying with Section 1018 of the Johnny Isakson and David P. Roe, M.D. Veterans Health Care and Benefits Improvement Act of 2020 (Isakson/Roe). As a reminder,
 institutions who are not able to comply with the Section 1018 requirements prior to the effective date should submit a waiver application by August 1, 2021.<br>

Good morning everyone!<br>
<br>
<br>
I hope everyone is doing well and ready for a successful 2021-2022 award year! It is hard to believe we are already at the end of July (where did the summer go???).<br>
<br>
<br>
I wanted to remind everyone that the election for the 2021-2022 OASFAA board is now open. If your membership dues have been paid for the year, then you should have received the below link to vote. The election closes on August 2, so if you are the voting  member
 don't forget to cast your vote! If you did not receive the link, that means your dues have lapsed!<br>

If you have not paid your OASFAA dues for the 2021-2022 year, it is not too late but you will want to renew (or join) soon so that you don't miss out on the election! Once your dues are paid, you will receive the link that will allow you to vote.<br>
