That was actually me, the OP, who mentioned Black Lung Benefits as being incongruous to inheritance on Worksheet B.

Thanks for the heads up re the FAFSA folks. I’m generally skeptical of competence as a rule, so I approach most things of this nature with a raised eyebrow.

I think calling the prospective schools as a prospective parent of a student is an excellent way of getting a feel for where they stand.

And, yes, I realize $700K can disappear very quickly when income is so low. There can easily be a “lottery” mentality, that I’m old enough gratefully, to steer clear of.

Thanks for your thoughts.
