    Me and my parent submitted our both fafsa forms and signed it, but a month later it asked to sign it again so we did but we still can’t submit our both forms. after we sign it still says that action is required and it needs a signature. I tried multiple times but it didn’t change. I asked my college/career counsellor and she doesn’t know how to fix it. we even called a person in college who’s responsible for financial aid and they don’t know how to fix it either. should I and my parent start a new form ? if not what do we have to do?

    So someone that is married, but keeps finances separate still has to receive “permission” from their spouse and provide their sensitive data. This is the most invasive, idiotic new policy I have ever heard of. What happens if someone is still married and they aren’t legally separated, but hate each other? Not my circumstance, but must be a real thing. Is the spouse applying for aid just supposed to forego school because the other person refuses to be on the forms? And since the employees on the customer service line do not seem to know anything, who do you ask?! This is nuts!

    To sign your students document you need to create your own account. Go to the home page and select create an account. Fill out all the sections and this should allow you to sign after you put in all the information. It will take 1-3 days to verify. Then you can complete everything. I have been trying to figure this out since January. I just broke through. Last year seemed simpler. I hope this helps
