Where does SSI, TANF go on FAFSA?

Paying for College

<p>The question says it all. But, my mother doesn't file because she doesn't have to, so where do I put the income she receives from the government on the FAFSA?</p>

<p>Is this where it goes:</p>

<p>How much did your mother earn from working (wages, salaries, tips, etc.) in 2010?</p>

<p>Also, what is a dislocated worker?</p>

<p>No…these benefits are not reportable for FAFSA at all. You can find definitions and detailed answers by question number in the FAFSA instructions here:</p>

<p>Did you read the instructions? There’s a search box at the top of the pdf file and you can easily find references to both your questions by using it. The definition of dislocated worker is on pg 57. The exclusion of welfare and SSI payments from untaxed income is on pg 64.</p>

<p>Thanks, but what PDF form? When I google it the only PDF, is a short ten page form of the 2011-2012 FAFSA. I tried emailing FAFSA this question, and all I got was a response saying that for a question that specific I’d have to call.</p>

<p>sk8rmom answered your question. </p>

<p>the benefits do not have to be reported.</p>

<p>The link she posted includes detailed question by question explanations, including the definition of a dislocated worker on page 57 of the pdf.</p>

<p>The link she posted is an excellent source of information for FAFSA questions. Click on the link and then click on the 2011-2012 pdf link. It is a 71 page question by question guide.</p>
