"The Department of Education‘s major student aid programs will continue, despite expected furloughs as the government shutdown persists," News Nation reports.

... "Sarah Austin, policy analyst at the National Association of Student Financial Aid Administrators, told NewsNation partner The Hill that no news is good news at this point."

"'As we’ve seen in the last couple of years, if there were issues like major disruptions to the FAFSA, we’ve heard from our members very, very quickly,' Austin said. 'They’re very on top of things.'"
