I’m not positive you should have included them on the FAFSA either. What exactly is your mom paying for? She can’t really count half of her rent or utilities because she would be paying ALL of that for just the two of you.
Who pays these other kids’ health insurance?
For all you know, their father earns enough to pay for them… @kelsmom?
You say your EFC is “oddly high”? Having additional people in the household doesn’t really impact EFC as much as having multiple kids in college at the same time.
The financial information on that FAFSA should be your mom’s with any child support or spousal support she receives as well.
The FAFSA EFC is largely based on income…
What do you think is “oddly high”.
