Is electronic filing really faster and easier?
Electronic filing is faster than completing a paper form. The process can be as much as 7-14 days faster if you electronically sign your application as soon as you complete it. Submitting your FAFSA On The Web eliminates possible mailing delays. Also, FAFSA On The Web edits your application before you transmit, ensuring that the data you transmit to the U.S. Department of Education is ready to be processed. Extensive online help is available. In addition, the online FAFSA allows you to skip questions that don’t apply to you.
