Can 2 Fsa Accounts Use The Same Email Address?
Asked by: Ms. Dr. Paul Smith B.Eng. | Last update: September 25, 2021star rating: 4.8/5 (58 ratings)
Important: A Social Security number, email address, and mobile phone number can only be associated with one FSA ID. If you share an email address with someone else, then only one of you will be able to use that email address to create an FSA ID.
Can you use the same email for two FAFSA accounts?
No. You and your parent can't share the same account username and password (FSA ID). You will need an FSA ID and one of your parents will need a separate FSA ID. Your FSA ID is linked to your Social Security number and is your unique identifier.
Can you have two FSA IDs?
Note: Your FSA ID is associated with your Social Security number and is equivalent to your legal signature; therefore, each person can only have one FSA ID.
Can I make a FSA ID for someone else or have someone make an FSA ID for me?
The FSA ID acts as a legal signature and should not be shared. Letting someone else create your FSA ID is not allowed and can create problems and delays with your financial aid.
Can my parent and I share the same FSA ID?
No. You and your parent can't share the same FSA ID (account username and password). You must apply for separate FSA IDs. You should only use your own FSA ID because it is part of your identification and serves as your electronic signature.

Does it matter which parent signs the FAFSA?
Without a parent's signature, an Expected Family Contribution (EFC) won't be calculated, and the student won't be able to receive federal student aid.

Should the parent or student fill out FAFSA?
“The student should select the parent with whom they live 51% or more of their time with.” If custody was evenly split, the parent who provided more financial support to the child should be the one listed on the FAFSA.
Who starts FAFSA student or parent?
The student is the one applying for financial aid, so be sure it's the student entering his or her FSA ID in the “I am a student and want to access the FAFSA form” section. Do not start the FAFSA form by supplying the parent's FSA ID in the student role.
Can a parent and child both apply for FAFSA?
However, it is possible for a student to be independent on his own FAFSA and to be included as a dependent on the parent's FAFSA or the FAFSA of the student's sibling, if the parent provides and will continue to provide more than half support. The rules are not symmetric.
Do both parents need FAFSA ID?

How do I add a second student to my FAFSA?
File a separate FAFSA for each child. Transfer your financial information to both forms. Make sure everyone gets their own FSA ID. Watch your EFC — it should go down, so you'll be eligible for more aid. Check with each college for any extra steps. .
Is EFC split between siblings?
When a younger sibling enters college, the EFC for the eldest sibling is roughly cut in half to account for the additional family costs incurred. Both siblings will have approximately the same EFC since they both use the same parents' tax information, while their individual incomes and savings create slight variations.
Do you get more financial aid if you have siblings in college?
The Expected Family Contribution (EFC), calculated when a family applies for financial aid, can change from year to year based on how many siblings are in college simultaneously. Families with multiple children in college at the same time may have greater financial aid eligibility.
Does FAFSA require both parents income if divorced?
If your parents live together, even if they are separated, were never married, or are divorced, you file the FAFSA with income information from both of them. If your parents are divorced, separated, or were never married and don't live together, you fill out the FAFSA based on your custodial parent.
How does EFC change with second child in college?
So, for example, a family in 2021 with two children both enrolled in college would see its EFC cut in half; a family with three children enrolled in college would see its EFC reduced by one-third; and so on.
