Dealing With FAFSA Glitches and Confusion? Here’s What You Can Do
"The redesigned 2024-25 Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) is now available around the clock, following a weeklong soft launch, during which the form was open for as little as 30 minutes a day," NerdWallet reports.
..."Technical glitches on the FAFSA can be frustrating. For example, some users report getting repeatedly logged out before they can finish their form. If you encounter issues like this, it’s OK to take a break and come back to the form a bit later.
'There is not a huge rush on filling it out today versus tomorrow,' says Karen McCarthy, vice president of public policy and federal relations at the National Association of Student Financial Aid Administrators. 'So it is possible to come back in a few days, and hopefully, some of these glitches will be worked out by that point in time.'"
