"APPLYING FOR FAFSA"
FAQ: Parents’ undocumented status will not prevent their documented children from applying for federal aid. The application does not ask parents' immigration status.
Note of caution: There is a possibility for confusion if the student is filling out the application because parents’ state residency is asked. That refers to how long the parents have lived in the specific state (represents the residency or domicile of their true, fixed, and permanent home). Each state has its own requirements for determining residency. An undocumented parent can meet the state residency requirement as it is not an immigration status being asked but merely where the current permanent home is and for how long. I recommend a student have help with this section to make sure they understand what is being asked.
Also, parents need not have a social security number. If they do not, the instructions allow for entry of all zeros (0000000000).
Here are a couple links if you’d like further information:
