To be fair, the initial statement would’ve appeared to impact FAFSA. It was only after the outcry that the government “clarified” (more likely backtracked) that some things including FAFSA wouldn’t be impacted.

But the original language literally was an order to “temporarily pause all activities related to obligation or disbursement of all federal financial assistance.” And in the full original memo, there was no clarification that FAFSA was excluded. So thinking student loans would be wasn’t “fear mongering” - it was just people interpreting the memo as-originally-written
