Actually, it means if one received a federal means-tested benefit ANYTIME during the past 24 months: http://www.ifap.ed.gov/sfahandbooks/...0809AVGCh3.pdf (page 36 of the PDF, bottom left of page). This link is for current year, so it's 12; next year is 24.

A federal means-tested benefit is TANF, WIC, food stamps, SSI, or free/reduced lunch.

SNM, the new FAFSA has a question regarding workers who have lost their jobs. I am not sure how individual schools will handle this ... our school hasn't even discussed it yet. There are a lot of changes for next year, and schools will have to make some changes, too.
