Quick questions concering FAFSA.

Paying for College

<h1>1- I am a senior turning 17 on Monday (young, I know). Anyway, should I click "yes" to the Selective Service question, or should I put "No" and then check "Register Me"? I heard from some people that checking yes will automatically register you, but others say that the other option is the safer way to go.</h1>

<h1>2- When filling out the last name for my mom on the Social Security page, I found that her entire last name doesn't fit (the official one stated on the Social Security card). There's isn't enough room to write it all out, but they want the exact name. What should I do?</h1>

<p>If anyone could answer ASAP, that would be great.</p>

<p>*Bumping this thread.
Someone already answered my question about the Selective Service, so now I just need help with the last name.</p>

<p>Last name won’t fit: wow. tough situation. may need to call FAFSA themselves</p>

<p>a. no spaces, hyphens etc
b. try to play with their keyboard font (reduce it)
c. second best: put in as much as you can and maybe the Gov will pick it up by her SS# and recognize her name</p>

<p>Good luck!</p>
