<p>I got a rather strange email from FAFSA today...</p>
<p>Dear ____,</p>
<p>Your FAFSA Correction has been processed and the data will be made available to the school(s) listed on your corrected FAFSA. The financial aid office at your school will contact you if additional information is required.</p>
<p>The Financial Aid Administrator (FAA) at your school has made corrections to your application. If you think you need to make additional corrections, please contact your FAA before doing so.</p>
<p>Your Student Aid Report (SAR), which contains a summary of your FAFSA information, is now available for you online. Review your SAR as soon as possible to see if any additional information or corrections may be needed.</p>

<p>I looked at the correction history but all it says is that a College made a correction today. It doesn't say which college made this correction or anything, and from glancing a the SAR I couldn't determine what the correction actually was. </p>
<p>I was wondering what this meant, or what this could imply. Does anyone have any thoughts on this?</p>
<p>It means that a school made a correction to your FAFSA. They are required to do so if they find an error on the form. </p>
<p>You should look at the complete reprocessed FAFSA line by line to see where the correction was…it may very well be accurate. If it’s not, you need to contact the school.</p>
<p>yeah if you were selected for verification and had to send in your tax forms and w-2’s, they might’ve changed it because something was different from your tax forms. I didn’t file for taxes for myself, but I had to send in my W-2, and I estimated a little lower for my income, so they changed it according to my W-2.</p>
<p>This happened to us last year and i could not figure out what had been corrected by the school. I called FAFSA and got a very nice lady on the phone who told me the lines that had been changed. I then had to call the school, because they had made a huge mistake!! Typing in 90,000 in assets instead of 9000! What a difference a 0 can make! The school then had to make another correction.</p>
