Abstract: Applicants, parents, and borrowers establish an FSA ID,
which includes a username and password. The FSA ID is used for the
purposes of verifying the identity of the user; allowing users to
establish an account with FSA; safeguarding their personally
identifiable and financial information; signing applications and loan
related documents; providing users access to their information and
applications; allowing users to customize or update their accounts with
FSA; renewing or revoking a user's account with FSA; and supporting the
Federal Student Aid Information Center (FSAIC) help desk functions.
The specific questions that applicants are asked to answer in the
FSA ID creation process are described separately in the Creating FSA-ID
document, which explains the use of the questions in the application.
As part of the standard process, users' information is matched with
information from the Social Security Administration (SSA) to confirm
their SSA status.
In the event of individuals who do not have a SSN to match, they
are instructed to the contact the Department and provide one of the
following documents (U.S. State/Territory Driver's License; U.S. State
or City Identification Card; Foreign Passport; Municipal identification
card; Community ID; or a Consular identification card) and a signed
attestation of their identity under the penalty of perjury, as
instructed by the Privacy Act.
This collection provides the process and application that
individuals without an SSN may use to acquire an FSA ID to access the
statutory and regulatory benefits of the Title IV, HEA student
financial assistance programs.
