Do parents need to re-sign FAFSA after student makes corrections?

yep u need to sign it again. happened w my son's application. check ur email, they should've sent u a notification

Whether you need to re-sign depends on what information was corrected. If your daughter only fixed minor errors that don't affect contributions (like a typo in an address or phone number), then you might not need to sign again. But if she corrected financial information, parental information, or household size, both of you would typically need to provide signatures again. The "in review" status might be temporary while their system processes the changes. I'd recommend waiting 48 hours, then logging in again to check. A notification banner should appear if your signature is required.

OMG the FAFSA corrections process is SO ANNOYING!! When my daughter had to fix her SAI calculation because of my business income being entered wrong, we both had to re-sign. But the system didn't notify me for like 5 DAYS that I needed to sign!!! And then her corrected SAI took ANOTHER week to process. The whole thing delayed her financial aid package by almost 3 weeks!!

Since she corrected financial information on the 2025-2026 FAFSA, you definitely will need to re-sign as the contributor. Here's what's probably happening: 1. There's often a 1-3 day processing delay between when corrections are submitted and when the parent gets notified to sign 2. The "in review" status is normal during this period 3. You should receive an email notification to sign again, but the system sometimes has glitches If you don't get an email by tomorrow, I'd recommend calling FSA directly at 1-800-433-3243 to check if your signature is required. Don't wait too long as this could delay her SAI calculation and potentially impact aid packages.

Update: Just received an email this morning that I need to sign! You all were right. It took about 48 hours after her correction for the notification to come through. Going to sign it right now. Thanks everyone for the help!

Quick question for anyone who might know - does this same process apply for the CSS Profile? My daughter needs to correct some information there too since we're applying to some private schools that require it. Would I need to re-sign that as well or is it different from the FAFSA?

Final update - we both signed yesterday and today her application already shows as "processed" with her updated SAI score! That was faster than I expected based on what everyone said. Now I just need to figure out what this SAI number actually means for her financial aid package... but that's probably a question for another thread! Thanks again everyone.
