Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 115 / Thursday, June 17, 2021 / Notices 32253 

having a drug conviction while receiving 

federal Title IV aid will no longer impact a 

student’s Title IV aid eligibility. 

For the 2021–2022 award year, institutions 

will still see Comment Codes 30, 33, or 57 

for Selective Service issues and Comment 

Codes 53, 54, 56, or 58 for drug convictions. 

Each Comment Code will still include 

messaging that a resolution is required to 

regain eligibility for federal student aid. For 

Institutional Student Informational Reports 

(ISIRs) received on or after the 

implementation date, institutions must 

ignore the Comment Codes and the 

messaging requiring resolution and proceed 

to award and disburse aid to students if they 

are otherwise eligible. However, while 

recommended, institutions are not required 

to go back and reprocess, package, or award 

aid for ISIRs they received for the 2021–2022 

award year prior to the implementation date 

unless requested by the student. 

Federal Student Aid will be proactively 

sending emails to students who are 

associated with 2021–2022 ISIRs received 

prior to the implementation date and who 

were determined to be ineligible based on 

their answers to Selective Service and drug 

conviction questions informing them about 

the change in the law and their potential 

eligibility for Title IV aid. Emails will direct 

students to contact their institution’s 

financial aid office. 

2022–2023 Award Year 

For the 2022–2023 award year, we will 

enhance implementation of the removal of 

Selective Service and drug conviction 

requirements for federal Title IV eligibility. 

Similar to the 2021–2022 award year: 

• The Selective Service and drug 

conviction questions (as well as the option to 

register with the Selective Service via the 

FAFSA) will remain on the FAFSA; 

• Failing to register with the Selective 

Service or having a drug conviction while 

receiving federal Title IV aid will no longer 

affect a student’s Title IV aid eligibility; and 

• Institutions will still see Comment Codes 

30, 33, or 57 for Selective Service issues and 

Comment Codes 53, 54, 56, or 58 for drug 

convictions, which institutions must ignore 

and may not use as a reason to deny Title IV 

aid to a student. 

However, for the 2022–2023 award year, 

the Department will include language in the 

Comment Codes stating that no further action 

is necessary on the part of the student or the 

institution. 

2023–2024 Award Year 

For the 2023–2024 award year, the 

Department plans to completely remove both 

the Selective Service and drug conviction 

questions from the FAFSA, as well as the 

option to register with the Selective Service 

via the FAFSA. We will also remove any 

associated Comment Codes and messaging 

that indicate a resolution is required for 

federal Title IV eligibility. 

Questions about our early implementation 

of these provisions of the FAFSA 

Simplification Act should be referred to our
