thanks, mom2. I was going to ask for back up for your stmt, but thinking about it, this money would already have been reported in parents assets - cash checking saving. correct?

Not necessarily.
The relative can give the parents the money AFTER they file FAFSA
But even if the money were in the parents’ possession, then it would only be assessed at about 6%…and that’s AFTER parent protections
