FAFSA reprocessing not showing up at college after contributor signature correction

This actually happens more than you'd think. The reprocessed FAFSA should automatically be sent to all schools on your list, but there can be delays in the system. Here's what you should do: 1. Log into your studentaid.gov account and check that all your schools are still listed in the "Send to" section 2. Take a screenshot of your processed FAFSA with the confirmation number and date 3. Email this to your school's financial aid office 4. Ask them to manually check if they've received it since your last call The processing system has been extra glitchy this year with all the FAFSA Simplification Act changes. I've seen delays of up to 10 business days for schools to receive updated applications.

omg same thing hppend to me!! But i called financial aid office and they helped me fix it. took like 2 days for them to get the new one

I work in financial aid at a community college and we see this ALL THE TIME. There are two different processing systems - one that handles the initial submission and one that handles corrections. Sometimes the correction system sends out confirmations to students before the data actually transmits to schools. Best solution is to contact your school's financial aid office directly with your confirmation number and processing date. They can manually request your corrected FAFSA from the federal processor using your DRN (Data Retrieval Number) which should be on your SAR (Student Aid Report).

THE FAFSA SYSTEM IS COMPLETELY BROKEN THIS YEAR!!! We had the same exact problem with my daughter's application. Fixed the parent signature in April, got confirmation, and then THREE WEEKS LATER her university still didn't have it. Called FSA and they said "oh yeah we see it was processed" but couldn't explain why the school didn't have it. Eventually had to get the school to manually request it using some special override code. Such a nightmare.

I called the FSA myself and found out there's a backlog. Just wait another week and it'll probably show up.

After having a similar issue, I used Claimyr to get through to an actual FSA agent instead of waiting on hold forever. It was worth it - got connected in minutes instead of hours. You can see how it works at https://youtu.be/TbC8dZQWYNQ or just go to claimyr.com. The agent was able to verify my reprocessed FAFSA was in the system and gave me a special code I could give to my financial aid office to manually pull the updated version. Saved me weeks of waiting.

Just to add one more thing - once you get in touch with the school's financial aid office, ask them to check the ISIR transaction number they have. The original submission is usually transaction #01, corrections are #02 and so on. If they only have transaction #01, that confirms they don't have your corrected submission yet. This will help them understand exactly what they need to request from FSA.

btw has anyone gotten their SAI score yet? mine seems super high compared to the old EFC from last year...

UPDATE: I finally got this resolved! I used Claimyr to reach an FSA agent (thanks for that suggestion), and they confirmed my corrected FAFSA was fully processed. They gave me a case number and told me which transaction number the school should be looking for (#03 in my case). I called my school's financial aid office, gave them this info, and they were able to manually pull my corrected FAFSA within a few hours. They said lots of students are having this issue. For anyone else dealing with this - don't wait for the systems to fix themselves, be proactive and contact both FSA and your school directly!
