Gift trust on FAFSA?

<p>D has a gift trust in his name, worth about $4000. It matured last September, but he has not received pay out of it at this time and it is still sitting in the gift trust account. How is this reported on the FAFSA, or does it not need to be reported until it is paid to him?</p>

<p>It is reported as his asset - and if he doesn’t use it by next year, he will need to report it as an asset again.</p>

<p>Thanks! I’m guessing he will use it… ha!</p>
