<p>I had to make corrections to my FAFSA (I said that I was a veteran, I thought it was asking about my dad) anywho the first time I got my SAR back and it said EFC was 0. Now that I corrected it, Its blank. I also looked on there and it said my application was chosen for verification (like it always is for some reason) Im pretty sure it will stay zero since my dad is retired and on Social Security.</p>
<p>First of all, the mistake you corrected is pretty much a sure bet to trigger verification. No big deal, though - just send the info & you'll be fine.</p>
<p>As for your blank EFC - did your dad sign the FAFSA? He would not have had to the first time you filed, because you said you were a veteran. That would have made you automatically independent & dad's info/PIN were not necessary. Now that you have corrected the FAFSA, you will have to have your dad sign with his PIN. Did you enter all of his income & asset info? You may be missing some of that. Double check everything & make changes if necessary. When you finish, make sure your dad signs with his PIN.</p>
<p>Yeah, everything is entered correctly as far as his info goes. My sister messed up his pin to where there is no way of recovering it, so we just do the "snail mail" method.</p>
<p>Almost every PIN problem can be fixed. If you'd like to figure out how to fix it, feel free to pm me & tell me what the problem is - I'll try to help you get a new PIN for him.</p>
<p>Can you have your Mom apply for a PIN and use that? (assuming your parents are together and her information is on FAFSA of course)</p>
<p>That would be a great idea.</p>
<p>Thank you for all your help, you have seriously made this whole process of going back to school about a thousand times easier.</p>
<p>Anywho we were able to figure it out. I actually fixed the problem last year with what my sister messed up, but forgot his email. I put in his information on the PIN site and it told me what email he used so we just had one emailed to it. Next year I will not have to worry about this since I will be considered an independent.</p>
