I am working part-time but I am also receiving unemployment in the state of Texas. Should I mark that I am a dislocated worker? This is my first time being an independent student and I can’t frankly pay for my education. I got significantly less aid than previous years. I mean, I am receiving unemployment, that says something right? Would marking that could give me more aid?
What FAFSA says it’s pretty confusing about dislocated workers:
“is receiving unemployment benefits due to being laid off or losing a job and is unlikely to return to a previous occupation”
I am receiving unemployment, which was calculated based on my job last year. I am unlikely to return, but I am working at another place part-time.
What should I do?
This is my first time in college confidential. It has helped me greatly during the past years. Thank you guys!
