Submit all necessary corrections to the application of aid FAFSA students before the deadline this fall.
If you have completed the FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) earlier this year to ask for help to the students, there is a good chance that you have to go back and make corrections now . It is important to make corrections before the deadline for your state.
If you wish to receive financial help for yourself or someone else in your household, you must file the FAFSA early in the year.
In fact, it is recommended to submit the application as close to Jan. 1 as possible. The problem is that the FAFSA uses the information in the tax return last year
When FAFSA was due early this year, you may not have completed your tax return -. Or in some cases even received all your tax information. You may estimate your tax information when you fill out the form.
However, the amounts can not be the same as the final numbers on your tax return. Fortunately, the Department of Education of the United States makes allowances for this.
You have a lot more time to correct a FAFSA for yourself, your spouse or other household members. Your time depends on your state of legal residence.
You can find your deadline on the site FAFSA.ed.gov.
You may also need to correct your FAFSA if you move, get a new email address, or if you want to add colleges to your list
Reasons to correct a FAFSA
you must correct your FAFSA if any the following conditions are met :.
- amounts of income are not correct on the date you submitted your FAFSA.
- Any other information was not correct as of this date.
- you want to add or delete colleges of your application.
- The address or the email address where you can be reached changed.
Changes not require correction FAFSA
Your FAFSA should be accurate at the date of signature and submitted.
If you get married or divorced you after you submit the FAFSA, for example, you do not need to correct the FAFSA, as it was true when you presented.
How to make corrections
Wait until you have all your information before you correct your FAFSA. You do not want to be still correct and again.
You can do most corrections online. Log into your account on the home page FAFSA, then click Make FAFSA Corrections.
It is important to check the messages on your FAFSA
Make sure that all messages are not landed in your email folder trash. You want to be able to respond quickly to messages.
Remember you can not fix your social security number online.
If you have filed with the wrong Social Security number, you can either start over and file a new FAFSA with the correct number, or you can change the social security number of a current FAFSA by entering the correct number on paper student aid Report (SAR), or having one of the schools listed on your SAR to change it for you.
for a paper SAR, call the Student Support Centre Federal information using the number on the site FAFSA.ed.gov.
What to expect after making corrections
If you make changes online, the changes must be processed within three to five days. You will receive a Student Aid Report revised with the correct information.
The schools on your list can access the revised information corrected one day after your FAFSA is processed.
