Just curious if anyone knows the logic behind the asset protection amounts used for single parents in the EFC calculation. I’m a widow and cannot think of any reason why I would only get approx 1/3 the asset protection amount of a married couple. At a minimum it should be 1/2 and I could think I lots of reasons why it should be more than 1/2.
