<p class="xmsonormal">Good Afternoon,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="xmsonormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="xmsonormal">As you may already know, this morning the Department of Education posted on its website a Final Rule regarding student eligibility for HEERF funds, as well as a new set of FAQs. The Final Rule will soon be published in the Federal Register
and is a significant change from the Interim Final Rule we were challenging in our lawsuit. Specifically, the rule provides that institutions may distribute HEERF funds to
<i>all</i> students and that the eligibility restrictions in Title IV and PWRORA do
<i>not</i> apply to these funds. Thus under the new rule IHEs may distribute HEERF funds to students who are not eligible for Title IV financial aid and to DREAMers. A link to the Final Rule is below. Please feel free to reach out to Jeff or me if you have
any questions.<o:p></o:p></p>
