<p>Thank you so much for the detailed response. </p>
<p>I have one more question about the FAFSA: so I filled it, submitted it, and received an email that said the following:</p>
<p>"You were recently issued a Federal Student Aid PIN to sign your 2011-2012 FAFSA.<br>
Your name, date of birth, and Social Security Number (SSN) has been verified
with the Social Security Administration (SSA) and your PIN has been confirmed.</p>
<p>You should not disclose or share your PIN with anyone, including commercial
service providers. Keep your PIN in a safe location. If your PIN is misplaced
or stolen, go to [The</a> PIN Web Site - Federal Student Aid](<a href=“http://www.pin.ed.gov%5DThe”>http://www.pin.ed.gov) and change your PIN."</p>
<p>So I logged on to the FAFSA website, clicked on “view processed information”, and it said that my identity was NOT verified with the SSA and that I need to submit additional documents to my schools Financial Aid office.</p>
<p>I don’t understand. According to the email, my identity has been verified but the website is telling me the opposite! Why?</p>
<p>Finally, when will I get a final confirmation as to what my actual pell grant amounts to?</p>
<p>That means that for some reason the social security administration is not confirming your identity. This sometimes happens with naturalized citizens, but often is just a snafu. You need to contact your school as requested. Do it ASAP so that processing of your aid is not delayed.</p>
<p>The final amount of aid will come in a financial aid award from your school. All federal aid is determined and awarded by the school.</p>
<p>Lol I hope so! I’m just worried about my last 2 years. It’ll be very hard to manage. I just hope the salary is what I expect it to be ($90,000-$100,000 starting according to payscale). :)</p>
<p>Hey man , sorry for bothering you, I just saw your answer in one of financial question, and I was wondering if you can help me out, I am receiving 5500$ from the financial aid and this semester my bill was around 2400$ and the Financial Aid made a payment of 2700$ so do that means that I am gonna get back around 300$ because that is the difference between 2400 and 2700$ or not? You told this guy that he is receiving an additional 5500$ from ‘’ Stafford Loan’’ I dont really know what is that , but his case is similar as my, and I did not apply for anything , I just apply for the financial aid (FAFSA) , I have a friend from last year and he receive around 1800$ back in a check, and he was taking more classes that I and he was receiving the same amount of money than I , which is 5500$ so I am a little confused about that, thanks for taking time to read tthis and I will aprreciatee if you can help me out.
BTW I am from NJ</p>
