This is the reason I'm in favor of things like Romney's Family Security Act, which replaces application-based programs with just writing people a check, perhaps based on tax information they have to file once a year anyway.
My sister in law applied for need-based financial aid at a flagship state school. It was so complicated that my wife and I (both corporate attorneys) had to jump on a Zoom call with her and the financial aid office to help sort things out. I can't imagine having to go through all those hoops for housing, etc.
This is a critically pressing problem with Medicaid. The majority of uninsured people in the country are eligible for free insurance under Medicaid, an ACA Bronze plan, or at least subsidies under the ACA: https://www.kff.org/policy-watch/millions-of-uninsured-ameri.... Everyone who files a tax return showing income under the threshold should be automatically registered in Medicaid.
