Why the FAFSA apparently hates me.
This is the FOURTH year i've tried to apply for the FAFSA. And every year so far has ended in failure.
First Year:
My Employer refused to release information regarding my payroll claiming that I had to do so myself through their website. However, when they gave me a password and username, it refused to work. And when I contacted them for help, no one replied. And the FAFSA has to have that information according to the person I talked to. So, I was dead ended.
Second Year:
I got everything filled out, but they said they still needed a signature and sent me a packet of stuff to sign. So, I signed it and sent it back. And nothing. They didn't even bother to contact me again. When contacting them, they said that I never applied.
Third Year:
I got through all the paperwork fine, but the school i'm going to claimed I was never enrolled and thus, the FAFSA was denied under the suspicion of fraud. (I was applied at the school during this time. Records show that I was but somehow it got screwed up somewhere.)
Fourth Year (AKA: This year):
Got through the paperwork but received nothing back. When we contacted them, they informed us the hang up was on the part of my school. We contacted the school and learned I was part of a "random selection" which had to fill out additional paperwork to verify that I was indeed a human being and a legal american. I had to ONCE AGAIN take the placement assessment test, fill out an online form with all my information to apply for a student ID (AGAIN) and then send them paperwork with my Student ID. It's been two months and I have yet to hear anything back. All the calls to the school say that they're still "processing it".
MY UNEMPLOYMENT WAS EASIER TO GET. And, believe me, that was hell to get.
