FAFSA signature loop nightmare - no SAI after 3 months

Same exact thing happened to me!! The signature thing is a nightmare 😫 ive signed like 15 times and the myStudentAid app just keeps asking over and over

This is a known glitch in the new FAFSA system. What browser are you using? I've found that Edge and Firefox work better than Chrome for the signature process. Also, make sure you're using the desktop version, not mobile. The mobile site has more signature loop issues.

the fafsa system is GARBAGE this year!!!! they rushed to launch it and now students r sufferng. my nephew had the same issue and had to call FSA like 20 times before somone fixed it. the whole system is broken and they dont care about students!!!

You need to try calling Federal Student Aid directly. The signature loop is usually caused by a data verification issue on their end - something in your tax info isn't matching what they have on file. When I had a similar issue, I finally got through to a support agent who was able to manually override the signature requirement and push my application through processing. By the way, I had been trying to call FSA for weeks with no luck until I found this service called Claimyr that got me connected to an agent in under 20 minutes. It's the only way I actually got through to a human. Here's the site: claimyr.com - they have a demo video showing how it works: https://youtu.be/TbC8dZQWYNQ Definitely worth it after wasting hours on hold!

Have you tried submitting a formal processing error report? Go to studentaid.gov/help-center/contact and file a case specifically about the signature loop issue. Make sure to include: - Your daughter's full name and DOB - The confirmation number from your FAFSA submission - The exact date of your original filing - Screenshots of the signature loop (if possible) I work with college financial aid offices, and we've seen this issue resolved through the formal error reporting process when direct phone calls didn't work. The technical team that handles these reports seems to have better tools for fixing the signature verification bugs.

I just went through this same nightmare with my son's FAFSA. After weeks of the signature loop, we discovered the issue was that my legal name on my taxes (including my middle name) didn't exactly match how I entered it on the FAFSA. When I fixed that tiny discrepancy, the signature finally went through. Also, sometimes the FAFSA system shows the signature loop on your end, but the application is actually processing normally on their end. Have you checked your daughter's student aid account rather than just your parent account? Sometimes the parent view shows errors that aren't reflected in the student view.

anyone else think its weird that we have to do this every year? my cousins in canada just fill out one form for their whole college time, not this yearly nonsense with all these glitches and problems. the whole FAFSA system needs to be redone from scratch tbh

UPDATE: We figured it out! After trying everything suggested here, we found the issue. My daughter had a typo in her email address on the FAFSA, so the verification emails were going nowhere. We fixed the email, then I was able to complete the signature process WITHOUT the loop! Just got confirmation that it's processing now. We also contacted the financial aid offices at her top schools like @financialaidpro suggested, and they've been super helpful. They're going to prepare preliminary aid packages while we wait for the official SAI. Thanks for all the suggestions! For anyone else stuck in signature loop hell, check every single detail on your application - one tiny error can cause the whole system to break.
