Students can now make corrections to their 2024-25 FAFSA through the application’s online portal. Unfortunately, users have reported four separate issues with making adjustments to their forms over the weekend and are waiting to see what solutions the federal government will provide to remedy them.
What problems have FAFSA users encountered?
- Student assets are incorrectly removed when completing a correction
- Applicant encounters an error when starting a correction and cannot view the FAFSA form
- Some contributors cannot add assets nor submit a correction
- Users who manually entered tax information
Are there any solutions or workarounds at this time?
- For the first issue listed, FSA recommends that students re-enter the value into the corresponding assets fields and save the information again
At this time, there are no other workarounds or permanent solutions to these issues at this time. We recommend that administrators and families refer to the 2024–25 FAFSA Issue Alerts page or the 2024-25 FAFSA Fast News for additional details as new updates are published.
