If it was taken out before you were 18, it's your parents. After that, it depends on the kind of student loan, and who signed the papers.

If a daughter received an unsubsidized Stafford Student Loan are the parents responsible for payments if she stops paying on it?

No. Only the student who signed the promissory note is legally obligated to repay the loan. Stafford loans do not have credit requirements or cosigners; in fact, the borrower no longer even needs to be 18. Parents may be contacted by the loan holder if they were listed as references, but only for the purpose of trying to locate the borrower. In the past, Guaranteed Student Loans did sometimes have parent "endorsers" who were responsible if their son or daughter did not pay.


Is a parent responsible for making payments if student or child fails to do so with FAFSA?

This depends on who is responsible for the loan. If this is a PLUS loan, then yes, the parents or guardians are responsible for paying for the loan. If this is a loan that they received on their own, then they should take other action before asking their parent(s) or guardian for help. They should speak with the provider (a phone number is on the bill) to find out if they can lower or defer payments, before the loan goes into default.
