So soon enough my senior year will come upon me and I have already started to worry about financial help. I do not know what to put in because my parents are divorced but I live with my mom who doesn’t have a job and is finishing her masters but we live with her boyfriend.
Please help me. [-O<
If you spend more nights with your mother than you do with your father in the year before filing FAFSA, than you use your mom’s financial information (and yours). Your mom’s boyfriend has nothing to do with it, unless at some point he becomes your step-father.
If she isn’t working will that disqualify me?
Disqualify you from getting financial aid? No.
Does you mom get child or spousal support. If so, that will need to be included on the FAFSA.
If her income is really $0, it is likely you will be selected for verification. The school,will want to know how,you pay your day to day living expenses woth no income. Just be prepared to explain.
Do you get free or reduced lunch? Or SNAP benefits?
