Introducing the FSA ID• What happens for new user?
• Registration requests the same required information as PIN • New users will be directed to the registration page to create an FSA
ID (username and password) similar to today’s PIN creation page
• What happens if I have a PIN already?• During account creation, the user will be asked for their PIN.• As long as the PIN information matches their other information, the
account will be linked to the FSA ID account
• Will the changes affect a user’s ability to access previous FAFSA submissions?• If the user links their PIN, they will have access to previous FAFSA
submissions

Introducing the FSA ID
• Can users still access FAFSA by providing their Last name, SSN and DOB?• FAFSA functionality will not change except that the FSA ID will replace the
PIN information• Users will not be able to sign or correct their application without their FSA ID.
• Will customer support change?• Customer support will not change. Similar to PIN, all users will be directed to
call the FSAIC helpdesk for login related issues
• Will my FSA access to other people’s information require a new username and password?• This is only for users who are accessing their own information such as
students, parents, borrowers and applicants
