Financial Aid stole Pell Grant?

What was her EFC for this year, how many credits has she accumulated to date, and how many credits are required for her degree program?

I don’t know what’s going on but have a couple of observations to offer until kelsmom spots this thread to give you the technical aspects:


Your wife should not have made additional corrections to her FAFSA after the FA office had made corrections and verified her. She probably should have simply let the FA office know that she had questions/concerns about the corrections they had made and let them handle it.
If her Pell grant for this year went from $1300 to $2600, I don’t see why you think that you’re missing money simply because they said she’s not eligible for Pell this semester. It appears that what they did was disburse the entire year’s Pell at the end of the fall semester. If, based on her EFC, all she’s entitled to is $2600 for this year then it doesn’t really matter does it?
The employer sounds like a nutjob and the secretary is not much better. They should not be accusing students of stealing or anything else without concrete proof…I would contact the Dean about that!
