Brian Laird on W.N.C. and we're going to spend our last 10 minutes or so today with your complaints about questions about or search for advice for the FAFSA form.

2022's FAFSA form.

You know FAFSA, it's the free application

for federal student aid, that's what Pfaffsa stands for.

Every year more than 17 million Americans fill out the form

in hopes of making college a bit more affordable

in the coming year.

Until late last year, I mean they're still doing it,

but late last year the Department of Education

gave FAFSA a makeover. The government launched a simplified Pfizer form after

Congress ordered a change in the 2020 stimulus bill. The new PfSA is supposed to be simple enough to complete in 10 minutes,

but the Department of Education has had a rocky so-called soft launch and an inaccurate formula may actually be standing in the way

of students who need those funds to attend university.

So if you have FAFSA stories or questions

from this year, give us a call

212 433 WNYC 2 212, 433, 962, FAFSA students, FAFSA parents, FAFSA grandparents.

And we're going to get advice and insight from none other than Ron Leiber, the

your money columnist in the New York Times who's given us such good advice on other things in the past, and maybe you saw

his Times article titled, I spent New Year's Eve trying to do the FAFSA.

It didn't go well.

Hi Ron.

Hello, how are you Brian? Good, what happened on New Year's Eve?
