Financial aid experts hope the tool will relieve administrative burden, but some concerns remain. Starting this week, students may encounter a new identity-verification step while filing out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid as the Trump administration continues to prioritize cracking down on fraud. The prevention measure—which was launched as an automatic feature of the FAFSA portal Sunday—screens and assesses each applicant for risk of identity fraud in real time as they fill out the form, according to a recent announcement from the Office of Federal Student Aid. Applicants flagged as low or moderate risk will see no change to the FAFSA process. But those flagged as high risk will be asked to complete a live automated camera check where they present one valid form of government-issued identification, such as a driver’s license, passport, tribal identification card or permanent resident card.
