TRIO Access Act
3/13/2025, 9:23 AM
Summary of Bill HR 1490
Bill 119 HR 1490, also known as the TRIO Return Information Act, aims to amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to expand the allowable use of certain return information disclosed to institutions of higher education for financial aid purposes. Specifically, this bill would allow this information to also be used for certain Federal TRIO programs.
The Federal TRIO programs are a set of federal outreach and student services programs designed to identify and provide services for individuals from disadvantaged backgrounds. These programs aim to help low-income individuals, first-generation college students, and individuals with disabilities succeed in higher education.
By allowing the disclosure of return information for financial aid purposes to also be used for TRIO programs, this bill seeks to streamline the process for identifying and providing support to students who may benefit from these programs. This could potentially improve access to resources and support for disadvantaged students, ultimately helping them succeed in higher education. Overall, the TRIO Return Information Act aims to enhance the effectiveness of TRIO programs by leveraging existing financial aid information to better serve students in need.
