Continue working to eliminate financial aid fraud involving FAFSA and fake or stolen identities.
Occurrences
Evidence
Sen. Tuberville said he was proud to introduce the bill and would not stop until we eliminate all fraud. The release says the No Aid for Ghost Students Act aims to stop fraudsters using stolen or fake identities to submit FAFSA applications and take federal student aid money.
The Congressional Record shows that at Tuberville's request, Sen. Moody was added as a cosponsor of S. 4365, a bill to improve verification of social security numbers required for federal student aid.
Assessments
Tuberville made same-term legislative efforts directly tied to FAFSA identity-fraud prevention, including helping introduce the No Aid for Ghost Students Act and advancing a related Social Security number verification bill by adding cosponsors. However, the evidence shows activity and advocacy, not enactment or actual elimination of the financial aid fraud problem. Because the promised outcome has not been delivered, but there was a serious relevant legislative attempt, this is best scored as never with an effort badge.
