I didn’t exactly provide the full story. The reason to the change in the last name is due to corrections that had to be done to my ssn.
I have two last names, which I heard is an uncommon thing in America, therefore, an error I was unaware of, occurred. When my ssn was submitted or filed only one last name was provided and the second last name became a part of my middle name. I needed to correct this error and put that I do in fact have two last names. As a result, my last name changed becoming not one but two.
But the thing is, the information I provided to both the UC and FAFSA was what was on my ssn (which was only one last name), can I fix this error with uc admissions and FAFSA?

If I speak with FAFSA officials and provide documentation will all go well?
Will this affect the financial help I am to receive at my uc?
Who must I first contact about this change FAFSA or the UC. If I contact FAFSA first will the uc then be unable to locate my processed FAFSA?

So complicated.

Sorry if what I wrote is unclear.
