而2024-25年FAFSA®的发布被推迟, 教育部现在已经启动了
2024-25 FAFSA®. The Department of Education has indicated that they may initiate pauses for site maintenance and to make technical updates as needed.
Impacts & Benefits
The FAFSA® is getting a makeover with the hopes of making it even easier for students and their families to submit.
不仅会有更少的问题在FAFSA®回答, 总体要求更少, your tax information will be retrieved through a direct data exchange (DDX) with the IRS.

FSA ID
从2024-25年FAFSA®开始, all users/contributors must have an FSA ID and password to fill out the FAFSA®, 即使是那些没有社会安全号码(SSN)的人.
Note: There is currently an issue preventing contributors without a 社会安全号码(SSN) from starting or accessing the 2024-25 FAFSA form. 在问题解决之前，请按照下面列出的步骤进行操作 Federal Student Aid's guidance document (How to Submit the 2024-25 FAFSA Form if Your Contributor Doesn't Have an SSN).
处理你的FSA ID需要5个工作日，所以 我们建议至少在开始FAFSA®前一周创建它. 你甚至可以现在就做!
An FSA ID is a username and password that you must use to log in to certain U.S. 教育部(ED)网站. Your FSA ID identifies you as someone who has the right to access your own personal information on ED websites such as the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA®).
从2024-25年FAFSA®开始, 所有贡献者(学生), student’s spouse, 和/或父母)必须有自己的FSA ID.
如果我不记得我的FSA ID或不确定我是否有一个怎么办?
如果您有社会安全号码(SSN)，现在就可以创建它!
In general, 因为这可能需要5个工作日, 我们建议至少在开始FAFSA®前一周创建它.
Those without SSN’s will likely have to wait until December 2023 before the system is able to create their FSA IDs.
What’s Changing?
A contributor refers to anyone who is required to provide information on a student’s FAFSA®, including the student, the student’s spouse, 亲生父母或养父母, or the parent’s spouse. Being a contributor does not imply responsibility for the student’s college costs.
- • You, the student, 需要投稿人的名字吗, date of birth, 社会安全号码(SSN), and email address to invite them to complete the required portion of your FAFSA®.
- • Contributors will need to provide personal and financial information on their section of your FAFSA®. They will only be able to see and complete their own specific sections of your FAFSA®.
- • All Contributors must provide consent to have their federal tax information (FTI) transferred directly from the IRS to the FAFSA®. If consent is not provided by all parties, you will not be eligible for federal financial aid. In previous years, transferring IRS data was optional; moving forward, it’s required.
如果你的父母离婚或分居， 供款的父母是父母(及其配偶), if remarried) who provided the greater portion of your financial support during the 12 months immediately prior to filing the FAFSA®.
It no longer will default to the parent you primarily lived with during the past 12 months.
The number of people in your family size will be automatically pulled in from your Federal Tax Information (FTI).
在FAFSA®中，仍会询问在大学就读的家庭成员人数, 但它将被排除在联邦法律之外, state, 以及机构财政援助的计算.
Child Support Received
每年收到的子女抚养费(一).e. in the last complete calendar year) should be included in the assets you report.
小企业和农场资产
The net worth of any small business and/or farm must be included on the FAFSA®. 记住，净资产=资产价值减去资产负债.
教育储蓄帐户(i.e. 529 Plans)
For dependent students, these accounts will only be counted as a parental asset if the account is designated for the student.
EFC > SAI
The final figure calculated by the FAFSA® will no longer be called the Expected Family Contribution (EFC). Rather, it will be called the Student Aid Index (SAI) to more accurately describe how that number is used to determine financial aid eligibility. And, 而不是0到999的刻度,999, SAI可以是一个负数，新的量表从-1开始,500 to 999,999.
Student Aid Report (SAR) > FAFSA® Submission Summary
Similarly, the Student Aid Report (SAR) which is the confirmation of what’s been submitted will now be referred to as the FAFSA® Submission Summary.
Otherwise dependent students who indicate that they have unusual circumstances that prevent them from providing parent data will no longer receive a rejected FASFA but will instead have their application processed with provisional independent status, a provisional SAI, 以及对联邦学生援助资格的估计.
However, 如果你是学生的话, 你还得跟我们办公室联系，做最后的决定.
