<p>So I tried my numbers on both formulas, and apparently my EFC is like 700 lower on the 2009-2010! This isn't about the dislocated workers or the automatic 0 EFC or anything like that, this is something that seems to apply to everyone. </p>
<p>Did they loosen up the formulas? I think the income protection for both the student and the parents went up quite a bit! Does anyone have any details on this?</p>
