<p>9 hours after submitting my FAFSA I received an email stating my PIN could not be processed because "the Social Security Number (SSN), name, or date of birth that you provided on your PIN application does not match your information on file at the Social Security Administration (SSA)."</p>
<p>I have re-applied for a PIN and it seems okay.</p>
<p>My question to everyone who has submitted their FAFSA already is if FAFSA emails you a confirmation immediately after you submitted the application. After submitting mine, I received a confirmation number and my EFC but no emails. I am afraid the application was voided since the PIN I used apparently did not check out with the SSA.</p>
<p>Bottom line: Does FAFSA only email you AFTER the application is processed and not when it is received?</p>
