Active Confirmation FAQ

Active Confirmation is a yearly process that ensures only authorized users keep access to Federal Student Aid (FSA) systems and SAIG Mailboxes. Active Confirmation helps protect secure information by requiring administrators to confirm who should still have access at their organization.

Only users with administrator roles—Primary, Secondary, Eligibility & Oversight (E&O), or Alternate E&O Administrators—can confirm or remove access for others.
