Question
I recently got married. Do I need to make corrections to my FAFSA indicating I am now married?
Answer

Congratulations! Federal guidelines do not allow for you to update marital status in the middle of an awarding year. Once you file the FAFSA indicating that you are single, you will not be able to change that information until you file the FAFSA again for the following year.
