I second oldfort in disclosing all of your family’s financial situation to the university. Any information that isn’t obvious in your FAFSA or other financial aid application materials could potentially help your aid package. My family and I notified Cornell of how our financial footing was going to change after my first year of college- much like yours, only we were going to lose social security benefits when I turned 18 this year. We also have high medical expenses, etc, so I would highly recommend letting the office (via letter or fax, probably) know about your whole situation.
