The borrower's name, birthdate, and Social Security number are among the information requested on the application.

Both English and Spanish versions of the form are accessible on desktop and mobile websites. The closing date is December 31, 2023.

The programme will not require borrowers to upload any papers, including tax records, or need them to use an FSA ID to log in.

More than four crore people are anticipated to be eligible for the relief programme, according to the administration.
