Why Timeliness Matters Making corrections promptly ensures that your financial aid eligibility is accurately assessed, allowing you to receive the maximum aid available. Delays in corrections can affect your financial aid package and the timing of your aid disbursement.
According to updates from the Department of Education, students can make updates and corrections to their FAFSAs starting in early April 2024. This timeline was adjusted from earlier predictions due to technical issues that needed to be resolved. Once available, you can log in to your StudentAid.gov account to make any necessary changes or updates.
