People seem excited.
Counselors and higher education advocates say that it's definitely a lot easier to do.
Folks who have participated in the beta testing say that they've had a more seamless process or glitches or bugs that have popped up have been instantly fixed.
And the call centers have also been operating more smoothly this year.
The education department hired more folks, so there are more people available to respond to any concerned calls from parents.
There was a question about unsubsidized loans, which is a type of federal loan that is not based on financial need to qualify for.
And so a lot of students were basically selecting that, yes, they needed an unsubsidized loan, even if they didn't, just because of how the question was worded.
So financial aid folks have tweaked that question and put the default setting to no so that students aren't accidentally selecting that they need an unsubsidized loan when they might not.
But there are still some glitches.
Students have to complete the FAFSA every year, regardless of whether they're applying to college or currently enrolled in college.
And some of the things that these early beta testing sites have seen that families and students have run into is that students are still being booted out of the form before they can complete it.
They're not sure why this is happening, but for some reason, you know, you might get halfway into the form and be kicked out of it.
Don't fret.
No, everything doesn't go away from what I've heard.
It still kind of updates and saves your information.
So just try to log into it again and try not to get too frustrated if that happens to you.
There's also still some issues surrounding a student who maybe has a parent who doesn't have a social security number.
In some cases, that parent might need to fill out the tax portion of the application manually.
Just be aware of that if you're in that scenario.
There's also been some issues with address recognition.
