The Act does not affect your FAFSA information in any way. If you have to report information about a Registered Domestic Partner for state and institutional financial aid purposes, that information will never be reported to the federal government or be included on your FAFSA. For the purposes of federal financial aid, Registered Domestic Partners are not treated like a married couple.
