<p>Hi, I am a widowed mother of 3 teenaged girls, who each receive Social Security Survivorship Benefits. The funds are in savings and CD's titled in each of their names (minor child by me). Although the money is considered in 'household income' for purposes of qualifying for aid (food stamps/medical assistance/free lunch), none of it is included on my taxes, nor are any of them required to file taxes on that money. So my question is: Do I need to include any of this information on the FAFSA? I read somewhere that non-taxable benefits such as Social Security are not to be included in the investments section of either the student or parent. Can I just leave it out altogther then? Also, each of my girls has a small UTMA account that I am custodian of; do I include the total of each of these accounts under PARENT investments on the FAFSA? Thanks for a quick reply from whomever can answer.</p>
