"A delay in federal financial aid forms is causing big headaches for families with students going to college in the fall," Wish-TV reports.

..."Karen McCarthy, the vice president of public policy with the National Association of Student Financial Aid Administrators, says the update might mean students will get their financial aid offers later than usual.

Typically, students complete the FAFSA applications by December, but this delay could cause problems for both students and colleges.

McCarthy said, 'They will be scrambling to get those turned around so that students and families have an adequate amount of time so that they can consider all of their options and make their enrollment decision.'"
