WASHINGTON — On Tuesday, September 24, at 10:15 a.m., the Subcommittee on Higher Education and Workforce Development chaired by Rep. Burgess Owens (R-UT), will hold a hearing titled “GAO Uncovers Biden-Harris FAFSA Failures.”
 
“Even though the Education Department has refused to cooperate with the investigation, congressional watchdog GAO has uncovered new and troubling information about the Biden-Harris FAFSA fiasco. Instead of being honest and transparent, the Department decided to cover up systemic issues and poor communication before, during, and after the launch,” said Chairman Owens. “Missed deadlines, false promises, and students left in limbo – and now the Biden-Harris administration is on track to repeat its mistakes given the 2025-2026 FAFSA is already delayed until at least December. This hearing is about accountability and ensuring students and schools don’t have to go through this again.”
