<p>For the year preceding FAFSA 2011-2012 (July 10-Jun 11):
I lived in their house for about a month, during which they paid c. 3000 for housing. With x people living there, the portion of that assigned to me is less than 900. </p>
<p>My tuition alone exceeds that, not to mention the c. 10800 that will have been attributed to me if I stay there. Nevertheless, will my parents need to provide documentation that they have provided for over half?</p>
<p>
Roe v Doe and Rosemary v George do not require a youth desiring emancipation to be entirely self-sufficient–only that he or she refuses to have any relations with his or her parents, a condition that can be demonstrated by a 17-21 year old’s leaving home, even if it is against the parents’ will.</p>
<p>FAFSA is by calendar year, not July 1-June 30. So for the 2011-12 school year, 2010 is used. Did you live in their house more than 6 months of this year?</p>
<p>I chose my words correctly op. Veracity subsumes credibility, as without veracity there is no credibility. You can stop the vocabulary lectures.</p>
<p>And as for insurance, you said you had Medicaid. Your parents did NOT provide your insurance, that is state-funded insurance. All they provided was a valid address and relationship for you to qualify for Medicaid. You can probably still qualify for medicaid but you will have to have an address in a county and probably some other documentation to qualify. We said you shouldn’t cut off your nose to spite your face WRT severing your access to medicaid. Most colleges will require you to demonstrate proof of insurance or will require you to purchase theirs. No need to be so cocky. Still not believing this thread is for real. With all the time to read case law, I am wondering if you are an inmate somewhere.</p>
<p>Who first brought up the example of Dartmouth in this thread, Sybbie?? Is the OP sounding like an old Dart writer of years gone by?? Sure sound like her to me! Waddya think, Syb?</p>
<p>As a person under the age of 18, he would fall on his parents budget for medicaid. He could not get his own services unless he was in foster care taking care of his own child or a ward of the state/court.</p>
<p>By him being in college he is not covered under the act.</p>
Yes but that does not necessarily mean that they provided more than half of total support. Monetarily, the housing they provided would still fall short of the threshold of 50% when tuition (government-funded) and other expenses are considered. </p>
<p>
What if the latter is a financial impossibility?</p>
<p>
No veracity does not subsume credibility, for there are things true in nature that people do not believe (e.g., the heliocentric model was doubted by many before it became accepted). But why are we arguing over words?</p>
<p>It is a non-issue. They will bill you for insurance. Your options will be as follows:</p>
<ol>
<li><p>Pay the bill</p></li>
<li><p>Show proof of insurance (then they will remove the insurance amount off of your bill)</p></li>
<li><p>Don’t pay bill and the amount of the bill will be deducted from any financial aid funds coming to you. If the amount of the insurance bill is more than the financial aid coming to you and you don’t pay the balance, there will be a hold on your registration because you now owe the college money.</p></li>
</ol>
Yes I do not qualify for the assistance its provisions provide; however, I cited the M-V act because it defines homelessness, which applies to persons of all ages. There is no such evidence to the contrary that denies homelessness of anyone out of the k-12 spectrum.
If M-V is still unsatisfactory:
</p>
<p>
So it does count as financial support?</p>
<p>
By the time I enter a school offering health insurance, I will be 18 and will then apply for my own Medicaid if being under my parents’ Medicaid budget proves to be an obstacle to financial aid.</p>

Because YOU engaged in wordsmithing, not me.<br>

Kindly drop the arrogance.</p>
You will have to research this further. DON’T throw more questions at the posters here. You will also have to prove residency.</p>
<p>For someone who is pursuing claims of homelessness, you sure have constant, immediate and ongoing access to a computer. Even at a public or university library there are limits on how long you can dominate use of a public computer.</p>
Ah, the recriminatory outlet. I brought it up under constant accusations of illegitimate “veracity.”</p>
<p>
If this thread were trimmed of posts not authored by me that did not answer one of my questions, it would have surprisingly few posts left.</p>
<p>The endings of two of sk8ermom’s more recent posts:
</p>
<p>If the answers were clear or even present, sk8ermom would not have ended what were mere recaps in question marks.
I have looked into it further because disengagement from the plan might not be necessary if Medicaid is indeed state-funded and thus not parental support.</p>
<p>
Most public libraries do have limits, but the university library does not.</p>
and if the thread were trimmed to reduce your argumentative, pompous diatribes and parsing of other posts, it would indeed be very brief. Beginning to understand why you and your parents have issues.</p>
<p>Not believing you are on the library’s computer for most of each day from 7:30am -11:30 pm. What school do you attend? What in county/burrough do you officially reside (ie your parents home) and what county/burrough are you trying to claim residency?</p>
What other argumentative, pompous diatribe requires trimming besides the one about veracity that stemmed from your incorrect, accusational use?</p>
<p>
How many schools’ libraries do you know that are not open for prolonged periods?</p>
<p>
By most of the day, do you mean a few 30-minute intervals? On only one occasion did two consecutive posts come within 2 hours of each other but more than a few minutes apart. </p>
<p>How is any of this relevant to the topic at hand?
Also irrelevant; procedures are governed by state law instead of local ordinances.</p>
<p>Why would OP want to be homeless? He can get a job to support himself after high school, save up some money then go to a CC. He writes very well, so I don’t think it would be difficult for him to get a full time job.</p>
Not something I’m debating whether I want to or do not want to be; it is what it is and documentation appears to be necessary for fa.</p>
<p>
Few jobs available to people who hold only hs diplomas evaluate applicants’ respective writing abilities (or even provide means of demonstration), but thanks for the compliment and also to those who may have given the same.</p>
<p>OP - to be very blunt, if I were an adcom I would frankly not admit you because either you are stupid or you are a liar. People don’t have an option whether they want to be homeless or not. They become homeless because they have no other choice. Education is not a right, it is earned. You don’t earn it by lying to schools or to the government. Go home and live with your parents, sheesh, enough is enough.</p>
<p>If what you are presenting here doesn’t pass most parents smell test, I doubt it any school’s FA office would believe your story either.</p>
<p>Thank you, oldfort, for being so direct. Homelessness is NOT the only way to qualify for FA, and doing things in order to qualify that has the appearance of manipulating the system gets lots of peoples hackles up.</p>
<p>I asked what school you attend and where you live b/c I am familiar with the area and may have some knowledge of the requirements and services. It is not “irrelevant” - you just seem to want to dictate the content of the thread, and selectively answer questions. That isnt how it works here.</p>
<p>And most college libraries close by 11, though perhaps not all. Again, which school do you attend? Do you have something to hide?</p>
<p>As many parents have tried to suggest, why don’t you try to work a tenable situation out with your family. If that doesn’t work, you can work with a school counselor (both therapy counselor and financial aid counselor) to explore your options. As oldfort said, you want the FA counselors to want to work with you, and the current tone you present may not get you the end result you desire. Just sayin’</p>
