<p>So I got my efc back and it said 20256 but my dad makes only 27000 a year off of social security? How is that possible?</p>
<p>Do your parents have a lot of savings/assets/investments/stocks? </p>
<p>If not, then perhaps you made a mistake with the numbers.</p>
<p>Also…check to see if you put that the student’s income is 27k.</p>
<p>Agree, if you don’t have alot of savings or assets like rental properties, investments, stocks etc. you probably made a mistake somewhere. Have your parents comb through their part of the FAFSA and you look again at your student section.</p>
