Reduced lunch for 2015 on new FAFSA application

I have recently had a major change in my financial situation. I just applied for reduced lunch and would like to use it this year on my FAFSA application. The app asks for 2013 and 2014 benefits. Does anyone know if 2015 would qualify? I don’t qualify to use the 1040 form due to rental income, so I think my only chance to qualify for 0 EFC is this. My income for 2014 was less than 20,000.

This would probably receive more accurate answers if you posted it in the Financial Aid forum. I don’t think 2015 benefits would count but if your financial situation has majorly changed, consult with your GC and see if it’s appropriate for the individual schools to be contacted.

Thanks. I intended to post it there!! I’ll do that.
