Federal Student Aid: Timely Performance Plans and Reports Would Help Guide and Assess Achievement of Default
Management Goals

The Department of Education’s Office of Federal Student Aid (FSA) is responsible for managing and administering the
nation’s student financial assistance programs authorized under title IV of the Higher Education Act (HEA) of 1965, as
amended. In 1998, the Congress amended HEA to establish FSA as a performance-based organization (PBO) in order to
address longstanding management weaknesses. Among other requirements, HEA called for FSA to annually develop 5-year
plans that establish measurable goals and to issue annual reports on the extent to which the goals were met. The intent of this
law was to provide among other things, a greater level of accountability for FSA’s administration of programs. Additionally,
HEA requires FSA to seek the opinions and suggestions of postsecondary institutions and other stakeholders, such as lenders
and borrowers, regarding their delivery system.
