If you have filled out a FAFSA does it automatically apply you for a Perkins loan?

Filling out the FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) does not automatically apply you for a Perkins Loan, as the Perkins Loan program was discontinued in 2017. However, the FAFSA is used to determine your eligibility for other federal financial aid programs, including Direct Subsidized and Unsubsidized Loans. If you are interested in a Perkins Loan, you would need to check with your school's financial aid office to see if they have any remaining funds or similar alternatives available.
