<p>On my SAR report, it questions my Citizenship Status.</p>
<p>It says "The Social Security Administration did not confirm that you are a U.S.
citizen. You must provide your school with documentation of your citizenship
status before you can receive federal student aid."</p>
<p>However, I am a U.S citizen. How could this come about?</p>
<p>i have the same problem you do. However, I am a "pending" permanent resident not a citizen and the authorization papers will most likely arrive after the deadlines have already passed, so I have no school for next year. A gap year (at best) seems the most likely scenario for me, hopefully you'll get your problem solved soon.</p>
<p>Call the schools you're interested in/applied to, some of them have Citizen Verification forms (I know USC does, I got theirs). If you have all the papers in order like you said you do, just ask the schools for one of those forms, fill them out and send them back. It's no biggie.</p>
<p>Best of luck !</p>
<p>Any chance you put in the wrong social security number?</p>
<p>Double check your information, ensuring you answered the citizenship question correctly. If you did, then it is just a glitch in the DOE's processing system, which does occur. When the school starts working on your financial aid, they will request citizenship verification documents, such as birth certificate, social security card, passport, Naturalization Certificate, etc, which will allow them to process aid for you.</p>
<p>Yep, check to make sure your SSN, full name and birth date are entered correctly, because these pieces of information are parsed for citizenship/residency status. If they are in fact entered correctly, call your schools and ask for further instructions. Than contact the Social Security Administration to fix the conflicting error about your citizenship status, to avoid problems when re-applying for financial aid throughout your four years in college.</p>
