Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) Stress Test
Wednesday, April 9th, 2008Is your employee is stressed out around March of each year? It just might be the fact that they are trying to fill out the federal financial aid form. There are three basic problems to the form; it is required to be submitted before most people submit their tax returns and it takes 10 plus hours to fill out and it does not make sense at times. The Department of Education estimated it takes an hour to answer 127 questions. I tested myself the other day to see what I could do in an hour. If I read each question out loud and guessed about the answer then the hour works. However, it was not reality. Organizations can help their employees by providing them with the time to prepare and file the document for them selves or a family member. Recognize it as college preparation day and support the employees. Education is an important asset that each of us should support for the future of the organization, employee growth and the economy.
