<p>When the student is not 18 yet when filing FAFSA, how do you answer on the question of "have you registered with the selective service"? The answer is NO i guess, since the person is not 18 yet.</p>
<p>Correct; the answer is no.</p>
<p>No-- that's not what the question on FAFSA asks.</p>
<p>It's asking if you'd like to be automatically registered with the selective service-- you should check Yes if you haven't registered. Even if only 17, check Yes or your application will be put on hold until this is corrected. We learned from experience two years ago.</p>
<p>They won't process the application, and you'll not be eligible for aid, unless you're already registered, or you check Yes on the FAFSA. </p>
<p>Just say "yes."</p>
