This bill changes a part of the Higher Education Act of 1965 about verifying social security numbers. It directs the Secretary of Education, working with the Commissioner of the Social Security Administration, to verify the social security number and citizenship status of any individual whose SSN must be given to the Secretary for federal student aid under sections 483, 484(a), and 494. The bill text says the Secretary "shall enforce the following conditions," but the provided material does not show what those conditions are.
If you (or someone on your application) must provide a social security number to apply for federal student aid, the Department of Education will verify that SSN and check citizenship status in cooperation with the Social Security Administration. The bill applies to the individuals covered by sections 483, 484(a), and 494 of the Higher Education Act.
