Education Secretary Miguel Cardona has acknowledged the issues with the new FAFSA form, including delays and coding errors, and assured that the Department of Education is working to improve the process. Lawmakers questioned Cardona about the troubled rollout during a hearing, expressing frustration and concern about the impact on students and colleges.
