<p>I was wondering is there any help out there when both of your parents are on disability. My mom had a major lupus crisis and almost died. It left her unable to work ever again. My dad has been on disability for some time now and they got divorced a while back. Are there any financial programs to help? If anyone has information please contact my email, <a href="mailto:crescenthawk@hotmail.com">crescenthawk@hotmail.com</a></p>
<p>If you are referring to the fact that your parents income is affected by their disabilities -- when you file for financial aid, you will input your parents income and assets (only you mother for FAFSA schools and both parents for Profile schools).</p>
<p>Depending on those figures, your family will be expected to pay a certain amount (your EFC or Expected Family Contribution).</p>
<p>This process is the same for everyone -- regardless of disabilities. </p>
<p>I would suggest you input you information in these FA calculators (try both federal methodology and institutional methodology) and see what the colleges would expect your family to pay each year.</p>
<p>use accurate figures to get an accurate answer.</p>
<p>It depends on what kind of income tax form they use. I believe if they use 1040 EZ, their asset is not considered. You maynot have to pay much either.</p>
