If my mother has been unemployed for the past 6 years, and receives welfare and food stamps what do I put as her income?
$0, I think.
@BelknapPoint do means tested benefits like welfare payments get listed anywhere?
I filled out the CSS a few days ago because a school required it even for merit only seekers. There were questions on there about receiving government assistance such as the fore-mentioned under the parent income section.
My understanding is that welfare payments and food stamps would not be reported by a parent on FAFSA.
