automatic zero EFC

<p>My family will have an AGI of less than $31,000 for 2010, and my brother and I will both be in college for 2011-2012. We were both eligible for reduced lunches but have not been in high school recently. I will be a senior and he will be a fifth year senior. Does that mean we will not be eligible for the automatic EFC?</p>

<p>If you are 4 and 5 years out of high school then the reduced lunch program criteria wont apply to you - you have to have received the reduced lunches (in 2008 or 2009 for the 2010-2011 FAFSA). </p>

<p>But the requirements for the auto 0 EFC are the AGI **and ** meeting one of the other criteria. The other criteria include receiving certain means tested benefits or a parent being a displaced worker or parents being eligible to file a 1040a or 1040ez tax return. As long as you meet one of the criteria (and the income one of course) you should be eligible for the auto 0.</p>

<p>OK…I’m confused…are you college senior/super senior or high school?</p>

<p>In any event…the info Swimcatsmom has posted is what you need to know.</p>

<p>How old are you and when were you last in high school?</p>
