The name you reported on your FAFSA does not match the name in the Social Security Administration’s (SSA) records for your Social Security Number (SSN).
If your name is incorrect, you must make the necessary corrections on your FAFSA by going online to StudentAid.gov.
If your SSN is incorrect on the FAFSA, you cannot make a correction on your FAFSA; you must start over with a new FAFSA at StudentAid.gov.
If your SSN and name are correct on the FAFSA, you should contact the SSA to update their records with your correct name. The SSA can be contacted at 1-800-772-1213 or online at SSA.gov. You must provide proof of your legal name (for example, marriage certificate, court order, etc.) to the Financial Aid Office.
