<p>Ok, so I live with my mother and my grandmother. My grandmother is the head of our household and my mom gives her money for rent and sometimes for food. So do I have to include my grandmother?</p>
<p>No - your HH size is 2 - you and your mom. This is because your mom is the head of the household for financial aid purposes & she would only include your grandmother if your mom supported your grandmother more than 50%. Since it sounds like it’s the other way around, you just list 2 (you and mom). If you have siblings that live with you, they would be in your HH size, too.</p>
<p>No, my grandmother is the head of the household, not my mom</p>
<p>No, for FINANCIAL AID your mom is head of the household. That’s how it works. It doesn’t matter if your grandmother makes the money - what matters is that you are a dependent student so your parent is the “head” and you & any siblings are in the HH size - even if your mother doesn’t make any money on her own.</p>
<p>Well, I already submitted it, so I have to go back and correct it?</p>
<p>What did you put on the FAFSA that was wrong?</p>
<p>The question that asks about the household size I put 3. So I have to change it and put 2, right?</p>
<p>yes, you have to change it to 2.</p>
