ASSEMBLY BILL 1887, AUTHORED BY
ASSEMBLY MEMBER SABRINA
CERVANTES, WELCOME. MOST IN A
SECOND. WELCOME ASSEMBLY MEMBER.
THANK YOU, MR CHAIR AND
COMMITTEE MEMBERS. THANK YOU FOR
THE OPPORTUNITY TO PRESENT
ASSEMBLY BILL 18. 87 TODAY,
WHICH WILL EXTEND THE
APPLICATION DEADLINE FOR STATE
FINANCIAL AID PROGRAMS. FROM
APRIL 2ND TO MAY 2ND THESE
PROGRAMS INCLUDE THE CAL GRANT
AND MIDDLE CLASS SCHOLARSHIP
PROGRAMS. AS YOU KNOW, THIS BILL
IS A RESPONSE TO THE ONGOING
ISSUE WITH THE FEDERAL
GOVERNMENT'S IMPLEMENTATION OF
THE NEW FEDERAL FREE APPLICATION
FOR FEDERAL STUDENT A COMMONLY
KNOWN AS FAFSA. IN LATE 2020
CONGRESS PASSED THE FFA
SIMPLIFICATION ACT, WHICH WAS
INTENDED TO STREAMLINE THE FFA
AND MAKE IT MORE ACCESSIBLE TO
WORKING FAMILIES. THE PROJECT OF
REVAMPING THE FAST WAS BEGUN
UNDER THE PREVIOUS PRESIDENTIAL
ADMINISTRATION HAS CONTINUED
UNDER THE CURRENT PRESIDENT.
UNFORTUNATELY DUE TO REDUCED
STAFFING LEVELS AND DELAYS IN
IMPLEMENTING THE NECESSARY
TECHNOLOGY UPDATES THE ROLL OUT
OF THE NEW FASFA HAS NOT BEEN
EASY. AS YOU ALL KNOW. AND HOW,
AND IT HAS BEEN REPORTED WIDELY
THROUGH THE PRESS. THERE HAVE
BEEN SEVERAL SETBACKS AND FALSE
STARTS IN MAKING THE FFA
AVAILABLE TO STUDENTS IN
CALIFORNIA LAST YEAR, THE NEW
FFA WAS ACTIVATED TWO MONTHS
BEHIND SCHEDULE, REDUCING THE
AMOUNT OF TIME STUDENTS HAVE TO
COMPLETE THE FAFA. AS CHAIR OF
THE CALIFORNIA LATINO
LEGISLATIVE CAUCUS. I WANT TO
HIGHLIGHT AN ISSUE AFFECTING
MANY STUDENTS WITH PARENTS WHO
ARE UNDOCUMENTED. THEY HAVE RUN
INTO A PERSISTENT ERROR MESSAGE,
PREVENTING THEM FROM COMPLETING
THE FFA WITHOUT PROVIDING A
PARENT SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER.
THIS HAS LEFT STUDENTS WITH
UNDOCUMENTED PARENTS UNABLE TO
APPLY FOR STATE AND FEDERAL
FINANCIAL AID FOR COLLEGE, EVEN
THOUGH THEY THEMSELVES ARE
UNITED STATES CITIZENS OR
PERMANENT RESIDENTS. THESE VAS
IMPLEMENTATION ISSUES. ALSO
DELAY THE TIMELINE FOR COLLEGES
AND UNIVERSITIES TO MAKE
ADMISSION DECISIONS, PROVIDING
FINANCIAL AID AWARD OFFERS AND
COMPLETE. THEIR ENROLLMENT
PROCESS. BECAUSE OF THESE
PROBLEMS AS PART OF LAST YEAR'S
STATE BUDGET, THE LEGISLATURE
DELAYED THE APPLICATION DEADLINE
FOR STATE FINANCIAL AID PROGRAMS
TO APRIL 2ND. HOWEVER MANY OF
THESE ISSUES WITH THE REVAMP FFA
HAVE PERSISTED, WHICH HAS LED TO
A SIGNIFICANT REDUCTION IN THE
NUMBER OF STUDENTS WHO HAVE
COMPLETED THE FFA. NATIONWIDE
STUDENT FFA SUBMISSIONS ARE DOWN
NEARLY 30, 3% COMPARED TO THE
PREVIOUS ACADEMIC YEAR. CLEARLY
OUR STUDENTS NEED OUR HELP. THEY
NEED MORE TIME TO COMPLETE THE
FAST MAKING STUDENTS MAKING
THEIR DREAMS OF ACHIEVING HIGHER
EDUCATION MORE AFFORDABLE AND
ACCESSIBLE AND IT'S OUR DUTY TO
ENSURE THAT WE PASSED THIS
LEGISLATION. TO THAT END, A B
1887 WILL FURTHER EXTEND THE
APPLICATION DEADLINE FOR STATE
FINANCIAL AID PROGRAMS TO MAY
2ND BECAUSE THIS BILL HAS AN
URGENCY CLAUSE, THIS EXTENSION
WOULD TAKE EFFECT IMMEDIATELY.
THIS BILL WILL ALSO ALLOW THE
FEDERAL GOVERNMENT TO HAVE MORE
TIME TO SOLVE THE ONGOING ISSUES
WITH BASA IMPLEMENTATION,
INCLUDING THE BARRIER,
PREVENTING STUDENTS WITH
UNDOCUMENTED PARENTS FROM
COMPLETING THE FAFA. THE
EXTENSION WILL ALSO MATCH THE
DECISIONS MADE BY MANY OF THE
UNIVERSITIES TO EXTEND THEIR
ENROLLMENT DEADLINES BEYOND THE
TRADITIONAL MAY 1ST CUT CUT OFF
WITH ME TODAY. WE HAVE, UH, THE
CALIFORNIA STUDENTS WHO ARE
EAGERLY WAITING FOR OUR HELP TO
BEGIN THEIR COLLEGE CAREERS. I
WANT TO JUST QUICKLY THANK OUR
SPEAKER, SPEAKER ROBERT RIVAS
AND SENATE PRO TEM MIKE MCGUIRE
FOR WORKING WITH ME TO MOVE THIS
BILL QUICKLY THROUGH THE
LEGISLATIVE PROCESS SO THAT WE
CAN BE RESPONSIVE TO THE URGENT
NEED OF OUR STUDENTS WITH ME TO
TESTIFY IN SUPPORT OF THE BILL.
WE HAVE JAKE BREMNER WITH A
CALIFORNIA STUDENT AID
COMMISSION AS WELL AS MARCOS
MONTEZ FROM THE SOUTHERN
CALIFORNIA COLLEGE ATTAINMENT
NETWORK. THANK YOU SO MUCH
WELCOME. GOOD. GOOD AFTERNOON.
THANK YOU. ASSEMBLY MEMBERS
ABOUT THIS. THANK YOU. CHAIR
MEMBERS OF THE COMMITTEE. THANK
YOU. UM, MY NAME IS MARCOS
MONTES. I AM THE POLICY DIRECTOR
FOR THE SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA
COLLEGE ATTAINMENT NETWORK.
WE'RE AN ORGANIZATION OF A
NETWORK OF ABOUT 100 A LITTLE
BIT OVER 100 20 COLLEGE ACCESS
ORGANIZATIONS AND THE SOUTHERN
CALIFORNIA UH, REGION TOGETHER.
WE SERVE ABOUT 350,000 FAMILIES,
UM, IN THE REGION. UM THE ROLL
OUT OF THE NEW BETTER. FAFSA HAS
BEEN HAS CREATED A VERY
DIFFICULT SITUATION FOR THE
COLLEGE ACCESS FIELD. THIS HAS
BEEN ONE OF THE MOST COMPLICATED
YEARS FOR US, UM, IN ADVISING
AND WORKING WITH STUDENTS. THE
FAFSA HAS HAD SO MANY GLITCHES,
PARTICULARLY, I ALSO WANNA ECHO
WITH ASSEMBLY MEMBERS HERE ON
THIS BROUGHT UP ABOUT THE GLITCH
THAT WAS PREVENTING, UM MIXED
STATUS HOUSEHOLDS, FAMILIES, AND
THIS COULD BE STUDENTS WHO HAVE
CONTRIBUTORS WITHOUT A SOCIAL
SECURITY NUMBER. THEY ARE STILL
FACING, UM, VERY A HUGE
CHALLENGES, AND THEY HAVE NOT
EVEN BEEN ABLE TO SUBMIT A
COMPLETE APPLICATION UP UNTIL
LAST WEEK, EVEN THOUGH THE FEDS
ANNOUNCED A SOLUTION. MANY CALL
THAT A WORK IN PROGRESS BECAUSE
THEY'RE STILL TECHNICAL GLITCHES
THAT ARE PREVENTING THEM FROM
COMPLETE THEIR APPLICATION. WITH
THE FAFSA DEADLINE ONLY TWO
WEEKS OUT. IT'S GONNA BE VERY
DIFFICULT TO GET ALL THOSE
STUDENTS TO SUBMIT. UM, BASED
OFF LAST YEAR'S NUMBERS, IT WAS
OVER 100,000 STUDENTS IN
CALIFORNIA THAT SUBMITTED A
FAFSA WITH A CONTRIBUTOR WITHOUT
A SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER. THOSE
STUDENTS ARE, UM YOU KNOW, HAVE
A HUGE RISK OF BEING LEFT OUT
AND NOT BEING ABLE TO SUBMIT,
UM, A FAFSA APPLICATION. UM IT
THAT'S WHY WE, UH, A GROUP OF 56
COLLEGE. UM ACCESS ORGANIZATIONS
HAVE CALLED ON UH, UH,
CALIFORNIA LEADERS AND HIGHER
LEADERS TO EXTEND THE DEADLINES
AND MAKE SURE THAT UM STUDENTS
HAVE ENOUGH TIME TO SUBMIT THE
FAFSA. TO BE ABLE TO EVALUATE
THEIR, UM, AWARD LETTERS THAT
THEY'RE GONNA BE RECEIVING FROM
THE CAMPUSES AND TO BE ABLE TO
MAKE A DECISION OF WHERE THEY'RE
GOING TO GO TO COLLEGE. FOR
THOSE INCOMING STUDENTS. IT'S A
DECISION THAT'S GONNA IMPACT THE
REST OF THEIR LIVES. AND WITHOUT
AN EXTENSION OF THE DEADLINES,
THEY'RE GONNA HAVE TO MAKE A
VERY RUSH AND MAYBE MISINFORMED
DECISION. UM ALONG WITH THE
APRIL 2ND DEADLINE. OUR GROUP IS
ALSO CALLING FOR THE SYSTEMS TO
EXTEND REGISTRATION DEADLINES
FOR INCOMING STUDENTS, AND WE'RE
CALLING FOR BOTH EX DEADLINES TO
BE EXTENDED BY FOUR WEEKS. UM A
B. A 887 DOES EXACTLY THAT
MOVING THE, UH, THE DEADLINE
FROM APRIL 2ND TO MAY 2ND. UM SO
WE ARE IN SUPPORT OF THE
SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA COLLEGE
ATTAINMENT. I WORKS IN SUPPORT
OF THE BILL, AND WE APPRECIATE
YOU ALL BRINGING THIS AS AN
EMERGENCY MATTER. IN THE
LEGISLATURE. THANK YOU SO MUCH
WELCOME. GOOD AFTERNOON, SHE
FONG AND COMMITTEE MEMBERS FIRST
. MY APOLOGIES FOR MY TARDINESS.
I JUST RAN OVER HERE AS SOON AS
I'D HEARD THAT THE HEARING HAD
BEEN, UM, UH, MOVED UP IN TIMING
, UM, BUT REALLY APPRECIATE THE
URGENCY WITH WHICH ASSEMBLY
MEMBERS CERVANTES AND THIS
COMMITTEE ARE APPROACHING THIS
ISSUE. UH, I'M JAKE BREMNER. I'M
THE DEPUTY DIRECTOR FOR POLICY
AND PUBLIC AFFAIRS WITH THE
CALIFORNIA STUDENT AID
COMMISSION. UH, AS I SUSPECT
YOU'VE HEARD FEDERAL LEGISLATION
SET THIS PROCESS INTO MOTION OF
A SIMPLIFYING THE FAFSA THE FREE
APPLICATION FOR FEDERAL STUDENT
AID THAT DIDN'T COME WITH
RESOURCE. TO SUPPORT
IMPLEMENTATION, AND IN THE TIME
SINCE THEN, THE LAUNCH OF THE
APPLICATION ITSELF HAS BEEN
DELAYED INITIALLY BY THREE
MONTHS PAST ITS USUAL OCTOBER 1
OPENING, AND THAT, OF COURSE, IS
ALREADY LIMITED. THE UH, TIME
WITH WHICH WE PROVIDE STUDENTS
TO APPLY FOR FINANCIAL AID, AND,
UM, OF TOPMOST CONCERN HAVE BEEN
SOME TECHNOLOGY GLITCHES THAT
HAVE REALLY PREVENTED MIXED
STATUS. FAMILIES UM STUDENTS WHO
ARE THEMSELVES CITIZENS AND
ENTITLED TO FEDERAL FINANCIAL
AID. UH, THESE TECHNICAL ISSUES
HAVE PREVENTED THEM FROM
APPLYING. BASED ON DATA THAT WE
COLLECTED LAST YEAR THROUGH OUR
APPLICATIONS. UH, WE ESTIMATE
THAT AS MANY AS 100,000,
CALIFORNIA STUDENTS COULD BE IN
THIS CIRCUMSTANCE WHERE THEY HAD
ONE PARENT THAT DID NOT LIST A
SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER ON THAT
APPLICATION. OTHER ESTIMATES
I'VE SEEN SUGGEST THAT IT COULD
BE AS MANY AS 12% OF OUR
GRADUATING HIGH SCHOOL SENIOR
CLASSES THAT, UM, HAVE ONE
FAMILY MEMBER WHO MAY NOT HAVE A
SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER. SO UM,
THE DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION HAD
RECENTLY ANNOUNCED A FIX SO THAT
MANY OF THESE STUDENTS CAN, UM
UH, START THEIR FAFSA AND
COMPLETE, HOWEVER, THERE ARE
STILL ISSUES AND THERE'S BEEN A
KNOWN BUG WITH THIS PROCESS
ITSELF. SO WE AT THE STUDENT AID
COMMISSION, WE'VE BEEN PREPARING
TECHNICAL ADJUSTMENTS FOR OUR
CALIFORNIA DREAM ACT APPLICATION
. THAT'S THE STATE BASED
APPLICATION THAT WE USE TO
CONSIDER STUDENTS FOR CAL GRANT
MIDDLE CLASS SCHOLARSHIP AND
OTHER AID WHEN THEY MAY NOT
QUALIFY FOR FEDERAL FINANCIAL
AID. AND THERE'S OTHER GLITCHES
WITH THE FAFSA THAT OTHER
STUDENTS. WHOSE PARENTS BOTH
HAVE SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBERS.
NATIONAL COLLEGE ATTAINMENT
NETWORK PUBLISHES DATA BASED ON
PROXIES THAT ALLOW US TO GET
SOME INSIGHT WHILE WE'RE NOT
RECEIVING DATA YET OURSELVES
THAT THE STUDENT AID COMMISSION
TO ESTIMATE HOW MANY HIGH SCHOOL
SENIORS HAVE ALREADY COMPLETED
AN APPLICATION FOR FINANCIAL AID
BASED ON DATA THROUGH MARCH, 8TH
APPROXIMATELY 170 THREE 1000
STUDENTS THAT'S ABOUT 31% OF THE
HIGH SCHOOL SENIOR CLASS HAD
COMPLETED A FAFSA. HOWEVER THAT
REPRESENTS ALMOST A 40 3% DROP
FROM WHERE WE WERE AT THE SAME
TIME LAST YEAR. AND THE DATA.
MOST CONCERNINGLY SEEMS TO
SUGGEST THAT THESE DROPS ARE
MORE ACUTE AT THE SCHOOLS THAT
SERVE LOW INCOME STUDENTS OR
LARGE POPULATIONS OF STUDENTS OF
COLOR. GIVEN THE DECREASED RATE
OF APPLICATIONS THUS FAR, THE
CHALLENGES THAT ARE STILL BEING
EXPERIENCED BY MANY OF OUR
FAMILIES, PARTICULARLY THOSE, UM
, WHO ARE MIXED STATUS. A 1887
PROVIDES MORE TIME FOR US TO
WORK WITH STUDENTS TO APPLY FOR
FINANCIAL AID AND TO WORK
THROUGH THESE CHALLENGES AND
AGAIN. WE APPRECIATE THE
LEADERSHIP BY ASSEMBLY MEMBER
CERVANTES, THE LEGISLATURE, THE
ADMINISTRATION TO COLLABORATE TO
COME TOGETHER TO MAKE SURE THAT
WE MAXIMIZE OPPORTUNITIES FOR
OUR STUDENTS TO APPLY FOR
FINANCIAL AID HERE IN CALIFORNIA
, AND OF COURSE I'M HERE TO HELP
WITH ANY QUESTIONS THAT MIGHT
ARISE. THANK YOU. THANK YOU SO
MUCH. ARE THERE WITNESSES IN
SUPPORT IN THE HEARING ROOM? AND
IF EVERYONE COULD BE VERY BRIEF
TODAY, REALLY APPRECIATE THAT.

INCLUDING THOSE WHO COME FROM
MIXED STATUS, HOUSEHOLDS WILL
HAVE A MUCH HIGHER LIKELIHOOD OF
LEARNING WHAT THEIR FINANCIAL
AID PACKAGES CONSIST OF BEFORE
MAKING AND NEEDING TO COMMIT TO
WHICH COLLEGE OR UNIVERSITY THEY
WILL ATTEND IN THE FALL. I LOOK
FORWARD TO SUPPORTING THE
MEASURE HERE TODAY WITH THAT,
