<p>So I have a friend who has numerous medical bills because her father had a stroke. And the catch is that this happened after she submitted her financial aid information, so there was no calculation of all the various medical bills. I suggested she appeal because of this relatively new development, and she is going to be on the UCLA campus tomorrow. So my question is, is this new development worthy of an appeal? And how would they go about applying for an appeal tomorrow?</p>
<p>^
Maybe, maybe not. I say that because with the economy being the way that it is, maybe they weren’t as lenient with FA as they were…say…a year or even two years ago. </p>
<p>Take me for example. Both of my parents were laid off, my father had to file for bankruptcy, and there’s more. That’s just me, and again, I have no idea how much in debt those medical bills have put her family in. I’m assuming very plenty though, so there’s chance. (At least I would think so.)</p>
<p>Best of luck to your friend! [:</p>
<p>she needs to take any and all documents relative to her financial situation. and this is VERY worthy. special circumstances for changing the EFC are either loss/reduction of income or extreme medical issues.</p>
<p>Ok, so tomorrow, she should take all of her bills, and go to the FA office?
Are there any forms she could fill out online to prepare?</p>
<p>^
I don’t think so. Once she gets there and requests that, maybe they will give her additional forms to fill out, if needed.</p>
