Mistake on FAFSA

<p>We accidentally counted this $11,000 my mom got last year twice. So the FAFSA thought or Gross income was $79k when it was really $68k. So my EFC was $14k. What I want to know is will the EFC go down proportionally with our income when we corrected or will it not make a big difference over a certain amount.</p>

<p>Go in and make the correction online. You'll be able to see the new EFC. It will make a difference - I am guessing it will reduce it by about $2000 - but that's just a guess.</p>

<p>I did it went to 9700. Better.</p>

<p>Thanks</p>

<p>Wow - big change! Good thing you made the adjustment.</p>
