Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA)
When a student submits the FAFSA, it is sent to the Federal Student Aid’s Central Processing System (CPS). While at the CPS, the student’s FAFSA goes through a series of edits to check for inconsistencies in the application. In addition, the CPS initiates several database matches with:
- Social Security Administration (SSA)
- Department of Homeland Security (formerly Immigration and Naturalization Service)
- National Student Loan Data System (NSLDS)
- Selective Service System
- U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs
If a discrepancy arises as the CPS processes the student’s application and performs data matches, the student’s FAFSA is flagged and the student may not be eligible for federal student aid until s/he resolves the discrepancy. It is important that the student understands that some discrepancies will prevent the CPS from calculating the Expected Family Contribution (EFC).
