Looking for some guidance, am posting both here and in finaid.

In the asset portion of the FAFSA it says do not include value of pensions and life insurance. Well, my husband died in the past year, and the money that is in my investment account is all life insurance money.

It also does not ask me for pension income (although it does ask me for total income on my 1040.

Is there a way to indicate that this stocks are actually life insurance and that I am now retired? This is a new thing for us this year and we are completely lost.

Thanks in advance for any input!!!
