I suspect it might slow down the process for final packages for ED and EA students, since it will take longer to be verified, but many will be able to do so by updating their FAFSA and pulling in the verified numbers. This will probably be the case for Rolling Admissions schools also.

For RD applicants, I don’t think it will be as much of an issue, because the aid packages won’t be sent until acceptances go out, and hopefully everything will be up and running smoothly by the time the files are passed along to them.
