SSN Changes for MAP
Social Security Number
Another critical data element is the student's Social Security number (SSN). To improve the efficiency in identifying and correcting SSN problems for the Monetary Award Program (MAP), ISAC uses the SSN match flag on the FAFSA Submission Summary and/or the Institutional Student Information Record (ISIR).
If the SSN, date of birth and/or name is incorrect, the student must make the appropriate corrections on the FAFSA Submission Summary.
If the FAFSA Submission Summary/ISIR indicates the correct SSN, date of birth and name, the student must contact the Social Security Administration (SSA) to correct their records. Once the SSA makes the corrections, the student must resubmit the FAFSA Submission Summary for corrections by re-entering the SSN.
ISAC Action
If a student's record passes the FAFSA Processing System SSN match, but that SSN already exists on ISAC's database for another student, ISAC will remove the incorrect student data for that SSN on our system and load the correct student data.
