Nearly 1 in 3 Americans Struggle to Fill Out FAFSA, Debt.com Survey Finds

June 22, 2021

Debt.com is the consumer website where people from all walks of life can find help with credit card debt, student loan assistance, credit monitoring, tax debt, identity theft, credit repair, bankruptcy, debt collector harassment and more. Debt.com works with only vetted and certified providers that give the best advice and solutions for consumers 'when life happens.

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla., June 22, 2021 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — A new Debt.com survey reveals that almost one in three Americans who fill out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) struggle doing so.

The biggest challenge, 44 percent said, was not knowing all the financial information FAFSA asked for. The second-biggest challenge was not having any help filling it out, 28 percent said.

The majority of student loans are federal loans, which means filling out FAFSA is how most students can afford college. Debt.com chairman and CPA Howard Dvorkin says because FAFSA is so important, you should go into it prepared. With the FAFSA deadline on June 30, that should be sooner than later.

“FAFSA doesn’t just offer you loans, it offers you grants and other amounts you don’t have to pay back,” Dvorkin says. “If you go into it without all the information you need, you could be leaving free money on the table.”

Some of the other findings include:

89 percent said they thought their child or themselves qualified for financial aid, but only 68 percent actually qualified.
Other challenges people faced while filling out FAFSA were receiving an error message (18 percent), not creating an FSA ID beforehand (7 percent) and not knowing the deadline (3 percent).
34 percent said they felt the Pell grant would involve taking on more debt.

One in three people struggling to fill out FAFSA is too many, Dvorkin says. “FAFSA is too important to leave until the last minute or not use any resources for help,” he says. “Fill it out early so you can identify the issues you’re having and solve them quickly. You might end up in even more debt if you don’t.”

David Stockton Re-Signs With Guaynabo Mets

June 22, 2021

GUAYNABO, Puerto Rico, June 22, 2021 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — The Guaynabo Mets are bringing back a familiar face for the 2021 Baloncesto Superior Nacional (BSN) season after agreeing to terms with David Stockton.

Stockton was among the league leaders in points (21.1 PPG), assists (5.9 APG), and efficiency (21.8 EFF) last year while shooting 53% from the floor and 49% from three-point range. A late-season addition to the Mets, the point guard and son of NBA Hall of Famer John Stockton quickly established himself as the top player on a Guaynabo squad that came within a game of reaching the finals.

“I’m really excited to be back,” said Stockton. “The players, coaches, and organization made it an easy decision when it came to returning. I’m excited to finally meet the fans of Guaynabo. Let’s go Mets!”

Stockton’s best performance was in week 13 when he set a season high for the Mets with 40 points in a game against Mayagüez that clinched a postseason berth. In the bubble tournament at the Wyndham Resort in Río Grande, Stockton powered a potent Mets team that swept Fajardo in the quarterfinals and defeated Bayamón in the first game of the semifinals before losing the series 2-1.

“We are extremely fortunate to be bringing someone of David Stockton’s skill and intelligence back to our organization,” said Mets Head Coach Christopher Thomas. “In my eight seasons as a head coach I have never had a better point guard and team leader than David. I can’t wait to get him back on the island and get to work.”

With less than three weeks until the BSN season tipoff on July 8, the Mets’ roster is coming into focus. In addition to re-signing Stockton, the Mets announced earlier this month that they have agreed to a new contract with import Angel Núñez. This spring the Mets also announced the signings of Renaldo Balkman, E.J. Crawford, and Kevin Young.

With Stockton, Núñez, and Coach Thomas re-signed for 2021, Balkman, Crawford, and Young in the fold, and a strong cast of returning BSN veterans that includes Jonathan Han, the Mets are poised to build on their success of a season ago, when they came up just four points short of the championship series. Coming off a season that saw empty arenas due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the team should get a boost from once again playing in front of their fans at Mario Morales Coliseum.

“The theme for this season is unfinished business,” said Mets co-owner Marc Grossman. “David was a big part of what we accomplished last season, and he’s central to what we want to accomplish this season, which is to win a championship for Mets nation. The best fans in Puerto Rico deserve the best basketball team in Puerto Rico and my goal is to deliver that to them.”

Guaynabo season tickets and team merchandise will be announced soon on the team’s official website, metsbasketball.com Follow the Mets on Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter for the latest news and updates.

The Home Depot Foundation Increases Investment to More than $100 Million in Support of Veterans Experiencing Homelessness

June 22, 2021

ATLANTA, June 22, 2021 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — The Home Depot Foundation today announced its investment of an additional $6.4 million to combat veteran homelessness and support veteran housing initiatives. Since 2011, the Foundation has contributed more than $100 million to organizations supporting veterans facing homelessness as part of a larger commitment to invest $500 million in veteran causes by 2025.

In total, the recent grants will impact nearly 4,000 veterans at risk of homelessness and provide more than 600 units of housing across the United States.

“Supporting veteran causes is core to our mission at The Home Depot Foundation,” said Shannon Gerber, executive director, The Home Depot Foundation. “The latest statistics from the Department of Housing and Urban Development tell us that, on any given night, approximately 37,000 veterans are experiencing homelessness. This is unacceptable for anyone, especially for those who have dedicated years of their lives to serving this country. We’re focused on supporting and working with partners nationwide to bring an end to veteran homelessness.”

National nonprofit partners including Community Solutions, U.S.VETS, Volunteers of America and the Housing Assistance Council will receive funding to provide transitional housing, permanent supportive housing and other supportive services for veterans and their families who may be experiencing homelessness. Additional funds will be distributed to local organizations to address the needs of veterans facing housing insecurity in communities across the nation, including Baltimore, Los Angeles, Milwaukee and many more.

The Foundation will continue its work with Community Solutions and their initiative Built for Zero, a national movement of more than 80 communities working to measurably end homelessness. To date, 14 communities have achieved this goal by reaching a milestone known as functional zero, and more than 135,000 individuals have been housed by Built for Zero communities since 2015.

“Since 2012, we’ve been proud to partner with The Home Depot Foundation to advance our shared vision for ending homelessness,” said Jessica Venegas, principal for strategic partnerships, Community Solutions. “The funds granted from The Home Depot Foundation will help the eight communities in our Large City Cohort drive reductions in veteran homelessness this year, which will also include helping 3,000 veterans move into housing.”

U.S.VETS, the nation’s largest nonprofit veteran services provider, will receive $600,000 from the Foundation in 2021 to support the construction of a new transitional housing facility in Riverside, California, and to rehabilitate a motel in Phoenix, which will provide housing and access to critical services for more than 200 homeless and at-risk veterans.

“Our goal, beyond ending veteran homelessness for good, is to support military veterans and their families as they successfully move from emergency housing to more independent living in transitional and permanent housing communities,” said Steve Peck, president and CEO, U.S.VETS. “Working with The Home Depot Foundation and their volunteer force, Team Depot, we’ve been able to provide more veterans with stability and a place to call home.”

In 2020, veteran homelessness increased for the first time in several years, and the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on this vulnerable population has yet to be fully measured. By working with nonprofit organizations across the nation, The Home Depot Foundation aims to reverse this troubling trend and ensure our nation’s heroes have access to secure and reliable housing.

To date, the Foundation has invested more than $375 million in veteran causes, including making critical home repairs for combat wounded veterans, providing financial assistance and helping senior veterans age independently in their own homes.

About The Home Depot Foundation

works to improve the homes and lives of U.S. veterans, train skilled tradespeople to fill the labor gap and support communities impacted by natural disasters. Since 2011, the Foundation has invested more than $375 million in veteran causes and improved more than 50,000 veteran homes and facilities.

It looks like he could have a great future with us in INDYCAR racing. Colton [Herta] had another strong run today, and fully earned his podium finish, while Romain Grojean also featured today, with three Honda teams – Chip Ganassi Racing, Andretti Autosport and Dale Coyne Racing – all getting top-five results here.

Farruko "LA 167" Tour US and Puerto Rico (PRNewsFoto/Loud and Live, Inc.)

Tickets go on sale this Friday, June 25th, at 10:00am local time for each city (with the exception of San Jose, CA at 11:00 AM local time) through www.Farruko.com

MIAMI, June 21, 2021 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — The virtuoso musician and composer, Farruko, announces his long-awaited return to the stage with his “LA 167” (La Uno Seis Siete) tour, which will take him to more than 12 cities in the United States and Puerto Rico.

At the start of this year, Farruko secured his position as one of the most creative and resourceful singer-songwriters in the industry with the release of his album “Premium,” which includes: “Oh Mama,” featuring Myke Towers and “XOXA,” featuring El Alfa. This summer, Farruko appears on the recently released F9 soundtrack, for the upcoming film of the Fast & Furious franchise, performing “Rápido” together with Myke Towers, Amenazzy, and Rochy RD.

“I’m very excited to be able to get back on stage after being away for over a year due to the pandemic. I’m also thrilled because this will be my first U.S. arena tour performing at some of the most important arenas in the United States. With this tour I will be giving back to all my fans who, during this time when the world was paralyzed, stayed connected with my music. I promise to give you a show full of energy and great music as you all deserve,” commented Farruko.

Considered one of today’s most prominent artists due to his incredible musical versatility, something that has allowed him to conquer audiences worldwide with his countless hits. Each of his projects has created a space where he, as an artist and performer, has managed to impact the world and his fans, leaving a rich legacy within the Latin music industry. He is currently working on his highly anticipated album, LA 167, to be released later this year.

“LA 167″ is presented by the entertainment, marketing, and media company, Loud And Live, and will tour the main states including California, Texas, Florida, among others, starting in November 2021 and in February 2022 will go to his native Puerto Rico.

“There isn’t a generation that does not enjoy Farruko’s music. For Loud And Live, it is a privilege to be able to collaborate once again with such an evolutionary and creative artist. The last concert we held before the pandemic was Farruko’s ‘Gangalee’ tour in Miami on January 2020; having the opportunity to give fans this in-person experience over a year later fills us with emotion and pride,” said Nelson Albareda, CEO of Loud And Live.

Anhelo Launches To Help Latino Seniors Navigate Medicare

June 21, 2021

FORT LEE, N.J., June 21, 2021 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Anhelo (AnheloSalud.com) announced today its launch as a new offering dedicated to helping the Latino community navigate the complexities of Medicare.

Coming at a critical moment in the lives of Hispanic Americans, who face compounding health disparities as well as new challenges brought by the COVID-19 crisis, Anhelo begins its mission to support an underserved market. According to U.S. Census data, the number of Hispanics who qualify for Medicare is accelerating every year, yet nearly 70% of Latino adults have little to some knowledge of Medicare programs. Driven by a passion for accessibility and education, Anhelo is a company solely developed and designed for the Latino community.

To demonstrate its commitment to the Hispanic community, Anhelo has selected Dr. Juan Rivera as its official brand ambassador. Dr. Rivera is a board certified physician and well-respected Chief Medical Correspondent at Univision.

“I am excited to be partnering with Anhelo, addressing a long-standing pain point for this population. Anhelo will help our Hispanic seniors understand their available health care alternatives in a simple way, completely serviced in Spanish by a team who truly understands them,” said Dr. Rivera. “This is a game changer that will help this community get the care that they deserve.”

Anhelo evokes the dream of living a healthy and complete life, long into retirement. “We recognized there was an unmet need and deep desire for the elderly to be heard in this community and for their unique requirements to be taken into account when reviewing their Medicare options,” said Denira Borrero, Managing Director of Anhelo. “Anhelo is not about transactions, but rather about empowering Latinos with accurate information in their native language to help them make the best decision for them and their family.”

At Anhelo, customers are treated like familia. With one call, they will get answers to all their questions and understand their Medicare coverage options. Anhelo’s Customer Care Team is committed to ensuring plan holders take advantage of the benefits available to them and that the plan selected meets their needs with check-ins throughout the year.

Anhelo’s representatives are available beginning today and can be reached via phone at 1-800-372-9340. Additional information can be found online at AnheloSalud.com.
