So I’m having a bit of an issue filling out my FAFSA and hopefully someone can help me out. The parent I live with has no income and therefore does not have to file an IRS tax return. So, I chose “not going to file” - The issues is that it will not let me mark down that she receives SNAP benefits, which I assume is because I chose not going to file. When I click on the summary, the question has no answer and doesn’t appear to let me fill it out and I really have no idea why. Do I not need to fill that question out for some reason or am I missing something? Thanks for the help
If your parent has no income, then aren’t you getting a zero EFC? If so, there’s no need to indicate SNAP benefits. If your EFC is zero, then it can’t get any lower.
