Thank you for this information, I guess I am confused about the $50,000 limit thing, because a family can earn more than $50,000 and still get Wic and reduced lunches. I know you can make up to $63,000 a year and still be eligible for WIC if you have a family of 8. Go here for guidelines
Health: WIC Eligibility Requirements
SO I wonder what the determining factor is... the total family Grossing $50,000 cut off, or the eligibility of these programs?
Wonderful to hear being able to put volunteer stuff on a resume. I wasn't meaning about looking good for admissions.
I was just meaning when he finally looks for that job --at the end of a college education, if volunteering is enough for Employers to give you a try. I do want him to do WORK STUDY at all costs if he is able. But someone told me, many kids are not able to get this?? What detemines who gets Work study??
Another question... How does Tax refunds affect the FAFSA ? I read this somewhere and didnt' know they ask about your Tax refunds..... "Avoid tax refunds. Paying more taxes than you owe in a given year will ultimately result in a refund the following year. Refunds are viewed as income. Additional income raises your EFC and will reduce the amount of money you are eligible for in the form of financial aid. Take note of the levels of taxes currently withheld and make any adjustments necessary". Any idea? Thank you all for your help!
