Federal Government Shutdown Impact on Education-Related Services
All Students With Financial Aid
Borrowers seeking direct assistance from the Department of Education will not be able to access it. Students applying for funding, including federal loans or loan forgiveness, updating their information, or managing repayment plans may experience processing delays.
Veterans and Military Learners
Current members of the military whose Department of Defense education assistance has been approved should not experience any impact.
For Veteran students, most GI Bill® benefits are expected to continue without interruption. But call center support, including the GI Bill hotline, is suspended.
