I might be confused so what I'm hearing is that if one of my parents (someone I don't live with, haven't received financial help since I was a teen, not depended on) refuses to give their info, I'm screwed?
what do we do if our contributor isn't receiving anything on the 'my activity' section of their fafsa account so that they can give their consent to submit?
@FederalStudentAid, is this video (What Does It Mean to Provide Consent & Approval on the 24-25 FAFSA Form?) available in Spanish? What about the other videos in this playlist? It would be extremely helpful to be able to share them with Spanish-speaking students & families. Thank you!
They finally now fixed it the weird problems .going on with my tax file 2,years around 2021 and 2022. When I was in high school, and I was 18 1/2and 19 my senior year. Now I’m 21 years old. Also, I was working at a jewelry shop.
I'm 22 and my parents refuse to do any of this stuff cause they don't trust the goverment etc etc so should I even try if it is just going to list me as a dependent and then when I ask them they say no i just wasted my time?
What if the contributor has "missing approval" listed on their information, thus not allowing them to provide a signature. The contributor has put in all tax information, signed in, clicked "accept" but it's still listing it as "missing approval". I'm so confused how to complete this.
I'm having a similar issue, but in the student section instead of the contributor. I clicked "Accept" and was able to submit the form, but the confirmation email I received is saying that my consent has not been provided yet. Apparently I need to wait for the form to process and then provide consent on a new transaction...
Same here. We applied under my son’s account, after he signed, got an email that parent sign and consent not recd and could not assign SAI. Application automatically went to “review”. Email said have to wait till it is processed for parent to consent and sign. Nowhere during the application process did I see the area for parent to sign and consent. This one is worse than the one prior!
@@tcm3097 same problem. been sending emails to student aid.gov and no response. only saying that the form is missing contributor's information. has anyone figured it out.
I was in the middle of completing the parent contributor portion of the FAFSA form and was saving each page in the process. I logged out and when logged back in, the form was not there and under my activity menu, I just see that the form is submitted and is in review. I neither completed nor signed the form. What's wrong?
Since it verifies your identity, I don't think you CAN have a second account. There should a place in your account to handle the parental stuff once you put in your kid's info. I think they need to create an account first, though.
How would my situation work for my children, I have been in a divorce for 2 1/2 years (not final yet coming late 2024, separated for 2 1/2 years) and the other side does not communicate with us. I did file my taxes last year as head of household 2022. My child is expected to go to university fall 2024.
There are exemptions you can ask for if needed, but I assume in your situation that you file your taxes separately, so you shouldn't need to worry about it anyway. It really just looks at the household.
