I forgot my FAFSA PIN number after I completed filling the application, please help!?

Question

Recently, I completed filling the renewal application of FAFSA online. After that, I forgot my PIN and I can't access to my record to see what I have filled (to make correction as necessary). I went back to my email and try to retreive the PIN number. But I failed to answer the challenge question too many times and my PIN has been deactivated.

I followed a link to make a new PIN. But when I used the new PIN to log into FAFSA, they said "Your PIN Has Not Been Verified With the Social Security Administration - Your PIN is considered to be conditional until your information is verified with the Social Security Administration (SSA). You may sign a 2008-2009 Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) with it, but nothing else. Once we complete verification with the SSA (1-3 days), you will be able to use your PIN for other purposes. ".

Will everything be okay after they verified my new PIN?

Do I have to do anything else?

Thanks all

No, all you should have to do it wait for it to be cleared.  If you remember, when you first get your PIN, it takes them a little bit to issue it.  They are just trying to make sure you and you before they give you access to that information.  They should probably email you/notify you when the new PIN is activated.

Hope this helps.
