Abstract: Federal Student Aid (FSA) requests extension without
change of the Person Authentication Service (PAS) which creates an FSA
ID, a standard username and password solution. In order to create an
FSA ID to gain access to certain FSA systems (the Free Application for
Federal Student Aid (FAFAFSA) on the Web, National Student Loan Data
System (NSLDS), <a href="http://StudentLoans.gov">StudentLoans.gov</a>, etc.) a user must register on-line
for an FSA ID account. The FSA ID allows the customer to have a single
identity, even if there is a name change or change to other personally
identifiable information. The information collected to create the FSA
ID enables electronic authentication and authorization of users for FSA
web-based applications and information and protects users from
unauthorized access to user accounts on all protected FSA sites.
