ALT Understanding Special Financial Circumstances
ALT Students fill out the FAFSA form for the current or upcoming school year, but they have to provide tax info from two years before. A lot can happen in two years. If your or your family’s financial situation has changed in those two years, you may have special financial circumstances.
ALT Examples of special financial circumstances may include these situations: major changes to your income, such as loss of employment or pay cuts; tuition expenses at an elementary or secondary school; large medical or dental expenses not covered by insurance; and other changes in income or assets that may affect your eligibility for federal student aid.
ALT If you have special financial circumstances, complete and submit your FAFSA form as instructed. After your form is processed, contact the financial aid office at your school. You’ll need to submit supporting documentation to the school. A financial aid administrator will make the final determination about your circumstances.
