Does anyone know when they start checking fall FAFSA forms?

Hi all, so I have a situation I’m curious about…. Since it’s my first time doing college & FAFSA.
So I applied for financial aid back on March 20th for the 2026-27 school year and it was processed. I’ve already made sure that I put the correct school code (wake tech), correct social, everything. So basically what I’m curious is if my FAFSA is all good?
Because when I check my checklist it still says I need to complete a FAFSA….
However. I’ve reached out to the Financial Aid office on campus and they told me they received 2 forms (one of my correction because I had to change addresses & one original) and that they haven’t started doing the fall FAFSA yet….
But it’s getting closer to the deadline and I’m getting anxious. It’s my first time attending college and I don’t want to wait too long past the deadline….
Shouldn’t my checklist show I’ve completed it?
And does anyone know when they start checking the forms or I’ll have an update?
I just need some advice… thank you!

▲ 2 r/FAFSA

Hey all this is my first upcoming semester in college (in the fall) and I’ve never done FAFSA before… I filled out my form back in March for the fall semester and every time I check my checklist it still says, I need to fill out a form. But on the FAFSA website it says processed. I’ve already entered the school code as well…..
I’m wondering if anyone knows how to resolve this? The school said they received my form they’re just waiting to do them. I dunno..
I don’t wanna be late past the deadline. Thanks
