Our adult son receives SSI for his diagnosis of Autism. We are submitting FAFSA for our other son who is attending college. On question number 75 it asks if anyone in household receives the following govt programs. “Medicaid or Supplemental Security Income”. Do we check this? I can’t find any other explanation in forms?
Yes, you can check that box. It may come into play if you qualify for the Simple Needs Test (in which assets are ignored).
