13 FAFSA On The Web (FOTW) Why File Electronically? Edits prevent errors & delays; Skip-logic reduces number of questions; Quick submission of original application and any necessary corrections; Detailed instructions and Live Help available Simplified renewal application process

14 14 Using a FSA ID to Sign the FAFSA The U.S. Department of Education has replaced the Federal Student Aid PIN or FSA PIN with a new Federal Student Aid (FSA) ID, effective May 10, The FSA ID will allow students and parents to access and electronically sign the online version of the FAFSA with a user-selected username and password. This new login process will be more secure, since it eliminates the need for students and parents to provide personally identifiable information (PII), such as their name, date of birth and Social Security Number (SSN), every time they access U.S. Department of Education web sites. This change permits self-service password retrieval by without requiring the applicant to reveal PII. It also allows for name changes (e.g., through marriage) without requiring an application for a new FSA ID.
