- čas přidán 14. 07. 2022
- Walk through the process of creating your own Federal Student Aid (FSA) account username and password, also known as an FSA ID. Your FSA ID can be used to securely log in to U.S. Department of Education websites such as StudentAid.gov.
You’ll also learn how to set up two-step verification to better protect your identity and account information.
If you plan to fill out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA®) form when it becomes available on Oct. 1, you (and your parent if you're a dependent student) should create an FSA ID as soon as possible.
To create an account, go to StudentAid.gov/login

5:27 Congratulations! You’ve Created Your FSA ID
Update for the 2024-25 FAFSA form:
Starting in December 2023, you will be able to create a StudentAid.gov account even if you don’t have a Social Security number (SSN). To do so, you’ll follow the prompts on-screen to enter your information and select the “I don’t have a Social Security number” checkbox.

Should i creat FSA ID if i willing to study in Mason University?
cant access the website
Man i camt create an account because it wont accept my username wtf!!! Someone help i wanna go to college
Anytime in the last couple days when I click create account the loading wheel just spins and a new page never loads. I have tried Safari and Chrome.
Me too I try to make a account and it won't accept any username I make its pissing me off
Same and my sons college doesn’t know how to help either
I need help with this
I can't creat my account its not louding.
I am a citizen from one of the freely associated states and don't have a SSN?
Ok
Your website isn't working.
i did apply for the SSN and i received the receipt that show i applied for the SSN and wait for one more week to get my SSN so my question can i apply for the FAFSA ?
I would phone them. But it used to be that you fill out everything you can, get to the end, print it, physically sign it, then mail it in. I hope this helps but check into it please.
Students, do you have a school counselor or a teacher you can get questions answered or assistance? Find someone in your school or local library who may be able to assist you. I read some of the comments/questions.
Yeah and to the students. School counselors are a help. But if they don’t have the information you need and you have an idea of what college you want to go to, all colleges have financial aid offices where you can call and ask any questions you might have.
I'm facing a problem with my mobile phone verification, In China the Mobile phone number is 11 and the country code is 86 together is 13 digits, I been trying and not getting the verification code. Can one please guide through this process?
Even I also
Please I need help from anyone one of us here I’m having problem with my number
I don’t know how best to deliver
I'm having the same problem. I need help too
Can not get pass the verification to send me a code
Did you ever get past this and if you did how?
I am a parent and don't have a ssn can I still create an account to fill the information my son needs on his form?
Starting in December 2023, parents or spouses will be able to create a StudentAid.gov account without having an SSN to access their portion of your FAFSA form. On the 2024-25 FAFSA form, if the parent or spouse is completing their own section and doesn't have an SSN, the SSN will be blank and disabled. If the parent or spouse has an Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN), they should add it to the FAFSA form. If they don’t have an ITIN, they should leave that question blank.

No you don’t and when asking for your ssn you just put zero on the fafsa
As a parent/contributor do I need to create my own FAFSA account? When I try, I'm told my information is already attached to an account. When I log in with my student's credentials, his information comes up. So confused!!
The same thing happened to me! Has it been resolved??
@@Alondra-mu7mf No - so frustrating
Something is happening to us
Me too! This is ridiculous.

I’m having that same problem 🤦♀️
PLEASE FIX WEBSITE IM TRYING TO APPLY
try on October 1 - thats when it opens
Umm anyone else having trouble with parents with no snn, like after creating a fss ID there is another verification process after creating an account
Did you get this problem fixed? I'm having trouble with it too and now I'm afraid I straight up wont be able to go to college now because of this stupid problem.
@@availaboi6143 Sadly nope, but fasfa finally recognized the problem, and claims they will fix mid March.
ED urged applicants to wait for the permanent fix if possible, but has offered a workaround process by which impacted applicants can submit an online FAFSA without the contributor’s signature in order to obtain a confirmation email with an application submission date. The confirmation email can be used as documentation of FAFSA submission if needed for state, institutional, and/or private aid deadlines. However, because the contributor’s consent, approval, and signature are missing,the process will result in a rejected FAFSA without a Student Aid Index (SAI). Once processing and corrections are available these students will be notified that they will need to make corrections. Once the contributor provides their consent and approval via their FSA ID, the reject will be resolved. ED reiterated in its announcement that this workaround is intended only for applicants with a critical state or institutional deadline to meet in order to receive financial aid.
Does the portal open October this year?
The 2023-24 FAFSA form opens Oct. 1. If you will be attending college between July 1, 2022 and June 30, 2023, you should file a 2022-23 FAFSA ASAP at studentaid.gov/h/apply-for-aid/fafsa. In other words, the 2022-23 FAFSA will apply to Fall 2022 and Spring 2023 semesters for most schools.

Thank you so much@@jessgo187 ! It worked! We had been struggling with it last couple of days just to create a ID as a parent...
Im so late🤦🏽 I don't even know if I'll even have a chance
how do fsa id
Hi Andrea,
You can find more info about how to create a FSA ID here: studentaid.gov/fsa-id/create-account/launch
hi
When I try to send the invite to my parent this message pops up " Unable to Complete This Action
Thanks for your patience. Currently, the system is unable to complete this action. Please exit the FAFSA form and try again."
What can I do? I've been waiting and trying for more than a week now
When I get to the mailing address part and finish and click continue it does nothing.
⭐Update!!!!⭐: I called them and they said it's because when my daughter did her potion of the process it automatically made my account so the guys there said to wait 3 days and then call back to finish the process because the social security office needs to process my part before i can continue finishing the account.
Did you get an update by chance? I created my parent id first and I am having trouble with my daughters acct. it won’t let us move forward during the address part.
same with us -- did you get a fix for the problem?
@@viviandoherty6097
@@viviandoherty6097 I would assume your experiencing what I'm experiencing in that when you made your account it automatically made your daughters by the information you put in so your gonna have to wait till the social security part processes through. They say it takes 1 to 3 days but I'm still waiting and it has been about 6 days for me maybe because being so close to the holidays.
I ain’t readin allat
