Why can't I correct my FAFSA?

Paying for College
1

<p>So I had made some changes to my FAFSA. However after submitting I forgot to indicate how much of my AGI was grant/scholarship money (a substantial portion of it)...just one of those days -_-</p>

<p>This was yesterday. I go on today to make corrections, but I get a page saying this:</p>

<p>"Transaction is Being Processed"</p>

<p>I check the status of my recent correction but it states it has been processed!</p>

<p>Ahh I'm getting stressed! Last thing I need is my school thinking I can pay almost $8000 when my actual EFC should be in the 1500-2000 range!</p>

<p>You can’t change it yet…because it has not been processed. This can take 2-3 days.</p>

<p>So even if my current status says “Processed”, I have to wait 2-3 days? Huh well I guess I will wait till tomorrow.</p>

<p>didn’t you day THIS is what you saw?</p>

<p>When I go to see the status of a submitted FAFSA (which in this case is the latest correction I did on 03/27/10) The current status says “Processed”. The processed date is 03/27/2010</p>

<p>Now, if I click on “Make Corrections” and input my pin and enter a password, I go to a page that says:</p>

<p>"Transaction is Being Processed</p>

<p>You already have a transaction that is waiting to be processed, so you will have to wait to submit a correction. Correction records are typically processed within three days."</p>

<p>Hence my confusion. Maybe I need to wait till Monday, since I did the FAFSA yesterday night.</p>

<p>Spoke to someone at the FAFSA Customer Service. He said (and I quote):</p>

<p>Fair enough.</p>
