<p>Hello, I'm looking at going to start school full time in the fall. I've been looking over my FAFSA form and had a couple questions. I'll be using my GI Bill from my time served in the military to assist with school expenses. On the FAFSA it asks for VA Benefits, does the GI Bill fall under this? I know there are other VA benefits such as disability payments and even school reimbursement for job replacement for the disabled. How much will it hurt me if I am recieving my GI Bill? Might I even be better to put off getting the GI Bill until I hit graduate level courses and financial aid drops off?</p>
<p>Second question: I am single 24 year old who works (50-60 hours a week)and fully supports himself, do I still need to fill out all the info about my parent's income, etc? I also have a daughter, that does not live with me, for whom I pay almost $500 a month in child support. This equates to exactly HALF of her care and nearly 40% of my take home income. On the FAFSA it explicitly asks "Are you responsible for more than half of the care of a child?" Am I to understand that because I don't pay more than half and only pay half of child care, that it will not be considered at all in my pakage?! </p>
<p>Thank you.</p>
