I filed the FAFSA for 21-22 two weeks ago. When I went to go back and review it, i accidently said I don’t get free lunch, when i actually do. i don’t remember getting asked this question. My EFC is currently 0. Should I worry or would it not make a difference? It’s not making me change it and says it wont affect my eligibility.
Correcting your FAFSA to accurately report that you receive free lunch would, if anything, most likely either not change or decrease your EFC, and you can’t go any lower than $0.
You should probably make the correction for the sake of honest reporting, but it shouldn’t make any difference in your FAFSA EFC.
I cant make the correction on the Fafsa. It’s grayed out
Most likely it’s grayed out because the response is irrelevant for you. You qualified for a 0 EFC without saying yes, and changing the answer won’t affect your EFC. Don’t worry about it.
Okay, thank you. I was worried for a minute
@nyahj1012 You don’t have to worry about changing it with a 0 EFC.
thanks. I was worried because I don’t want to think im lying, when it was a mistake
No, you don’t need to worry about it. One less worry is always nice!
