<p>I filled out the FAFSA and my EFC ended up being: 11601</p>
<p>How is this possible considering that my father makes $28,000 a year and my mother is unemployed. My father has to provide for four people.</p>
<p>I think you’ve made an error…did you put your parents AGI in the student portion or add an extra 0 to a number somewhere? Check your entries against the FAFSA instructions. Your EFC should be much lower, and perhaps 0.</p>
<p>Btw, did you have to enter asset information? Very high reportable assets could cause a larger EFC, but that would be unusual for that income level.</p>
<p>yeaaaa… something is wrong. My EFC was 3,567 and my parents make 59,000 all together. This supports our family of 5 and we have ZERO assets and savings, and when we filed it we had 15 dollars in the bank. I think you either made a mistake or you have some super high assets or something.</p>
<p>Thanks guys! 
I changed it and now my EFC is now 0000000</p>
