FAFSA & CSS Profile question about filing date

Paying for College
1

I completed the FAFSA and CSS profile on October 25 - printed out copies of all info/balances on our accounts to keep for verification. But I’m just now getting it all filed electronically.

So…can I still use the info from that date when I file today? Or do I need to start over and use numbers from today if I’m filing now? Of course, the markets have gone up since Oct 25 so I’d prefer to use that date for everything, if it’s not a problem.

New to this! Appreciate any guidance you have. Thanks!

Your assets MUST be listed as of the date of SUBMISSION…so…you will need to change those assets to reflect the values NOW.

Why didn’t you just submit in October? We’re you hoping those values would go down? Well…they went up…so you need to reflect the value as of the day you hit the SUBMIT button…that’s now.
