<p>Do you surmise that the value of pension plans will factor into financial aid (provided from the schools?) - I thought retirement funds (similar to home equity in the family home) did not factor into the financial aid calculations (we are only applying to the Ivies and MIT who provide International Financial Aid, fyi)? </p>
<p>We only did the CSS profile. I am from Ontario, Canada, and myself and DH both work for the provincial government and upon request (oh why oh why did I even ask???) I get the commuted value assessment for each - which is alot higher than my contributions - close to $1M CDN when you combine the 2 plans. The CV is the value should we leave our jobs before we turn 55. If we did leave those funds would be placed in a locked in retirement fund, and not touchable until we are 55 years old+. If we left after 55, they are vested and cannot be accessed until retirement.</p>
<p>I did include those numbers. Now I am worried. I don`t recall those prompts being available in the NPC prompts.</p>
