2013-2014 EFC Formula PDF is Missing Regular Worksheet

Paying for College

<p>Every year I download the EFC Formulas so I can run the numbers myself (the web-based calculators have given me incorrect results). I have a spreadsheet with lookups that I've been updating every year.</p>

<p>Anyway, this year, the PDF the I found is lacking (<a href="http://www.ifap.ed.gov/efcformulaguide/attachments/091312EFCFormulaGuide1314.pdf%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.ifap.ed.gov/efcformulaguide/attachments/091312EFCFormulaGuide1314.pdf&lt;/a&gt;). It has some bogus "Simplified EFC Formula", not the real thing. It's labeled "Simplified Worksheet" instead of "Regular Worksheet". I did find another PDF for programmers (<a href="http://www.ifap.ed.gov/appprocspecsswd/attachments/1314SWDevSpecsFinalAttachment.pdf%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.ifap.ed.gov/appprocspecsswd/attachments/1314SWDevSpecsFinalAttachment.pdf&lt;/a&gt;) that covers the true (regular) calculation, but it's not very easy to understand.</p>

<p>The question I have is: Is the regular worksheet PDF "out there", but I just haven't found it? I'd like to have the ability to run through the regular/full EFC formula calculation for 2013-2014.</p>

<p>Can you be more specific about what you think is missing from the simplified worksheet starting on page 13 of your link? The parent and student asset sections are grayed out so you don’t use them. The regular worksheet starts on page 9. Your link is the only one I’ve found.</p>

<p>For dependent students, it is page 13 of 36 on the pdf/first link. Not sure what you think in missing …</p>
