OTC AskRegs Experts: Tracking OBBBA's Implementation Timeline
Thursday, 22 January, 2026

This week on "Off the Cuff," Tim is joined by Jill and Sarah to catch listeners up on where things stand with the implementation timeline for the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA). Jill kicks things off with some background on the negotiated rulemaking (neg reg) process and how the committee's discussions will impact the student loan portfolio, Pell Grants, and institutional accountability metrics. Sarah then walks through upcoming changes to federal Pell Grant awards for 2026-27 award year and details a new NASFAA flowchart that can guide members through that process.
