FAFSA data disappeared after correction signing - anyone else losing information?

same thing happened to me last week! dont panic, its probly just the system updating. give it like 24 hrs and check again

I HATE the new FAFSA system!!!! This is the 3rd year I've had to deal with it and it gets WORSE every single time. Last year they lost my parent's tax information TWICE and I had to do the whole contributor section over again. The stupid system is broken but they keep pretending it works fine.

This is actually a common issue with the new FAFSA system after the 2024 redesign. When you make corrections and re-sign, there's typically a 24-72 hour processing period where your information appears to be missing from the dashboard. The data isn't actually gone - it's just not displaying correctly while the system processes your changes. If you want to verify your information is still in the system, you can: 1. Check your email for the confirmation that you successfully submitted the signature correction 2. Log out completely, clear browser cache, and log back in 3. Wait 48 hours and check again If after 72 hours your information still isn't displaying, you should contact Federal Student Aid directly.

OMG i had something similar but not exact. After I fixed my parent contribution section and signed, my SAI score changed completely! Went from like 4200 to 9800 which would mess up my Pell Grant amount. When I called they said the system was recalculating based on the new info. Is ur SAI score different too or just everything missing?

I had this happen during the 2025-2026 FAFSA cycle and nearly had a heart attack. Called FSA for hours but couldn't get through. Finally I used Claimyr (claimyr.com) to get past the wait times and talk to someone right away. The agent confirmed my application was still in their system despite not showing up in my account. They fixed it while I was on the call. You can see how it works in this video: https://youtu.be/TbC8dZQWYNQ Saved me from having to resubmit everything from scratch!

Financial aid advisor here - this is a known issue with the FAFSA system after certain types of corrections. Here's what's happening behind the scenes: When you make a signature correction, the system temporarily removes your application from the visible dashboard while it processes the change and recalculates your SAI. This is different from regular corrections where data remains visible. Specifically for signature-only corrections: - The processing typically takes 48-72 hours - Your confirmation emails remain valid proof of submission - Your school's financial aid office can still see your FAFSA in their system - Once processing completes, your information will reappear If you're on a deadline for your school, contact your financial aid office directly and explain the situation. They can verify they have your FAFSA data even if you can't see it on your dashboard.

UPDATE: My information is back!!! Just logged in and everything's showing normally again. Looks like it was just the system processing like everyone said. Thanks for all the help and reassurance everyone! For anyone who has this happen in the future - just wait it out for a couple days before panicking!
