<p>My mother receives social security disability and that is our only source of income that adds up to 20,000 dollars a year. My mother Is also a single parent and I'm her only child. Does that make filing out the FAFSA any harder for me?</p>
<p>Not really…untaxed SS benefits are not reported for FAFSA purposes so it’s likely that you’ll qualify for an Automatic 0 EFC, meaning you won’t have to go through the asset reporting either.</p>
