"On the eve of what’s traditionally been college decision day for students, the Education Department said Tuesday it has resolved issues with millions of federal financial aid applications and is encouraging more families to fill out the form, which has been bogged down by problems since it was overhauled earlier this year," Yahoo Finance reports.

..."Now, as college decisions loom closer, the department said it has completed reprocessing FAFSA forms impacted by these problems and has transmitted the Institutional Student Information Records (ISIRS) for more than 8.3 million FAFSA forms to schools, states, and scholarship organizations.

'We are pleased to see the Department make forward progress on its timeline to provide accurate FAFSA information to colleges and universities, so they can complete the work of packaging and delivering aid offers to students,' said NASFAA president and CEO Justin Draeger."
