<p>I will send my Financial Aid office an email explaining the situation. I think I may wait until we get the FAFSA for this year turned in. Unfortunately the disability income my dad is drawing for 2013 so far is through his employer and he does not have his SSI Disability yet (I’m not sure how all of this works). If all goes well we hope he can begin drawing SSI sometime this year.</p>
<p>Our financial woes are primarily medical related. In addition to my dads expensive COBRA plan my mother will be spending 225 a month on medicine. We are financially better off for getting the more expensive COBRA option due to the fact my dad will need two expensive operations in 2013. In total our medical expenses will run about 800-900 dollars a month and that is without having any insurance myself. Most of the money taken out of his retirement TDA is primarily going towards this, which sucks because it shows up as income.</p>
