<p>Okay, so my family has been in the under-$45,000 income bracket for a couple of years, and this year due to a salary cut we’ve fallen to the under-$40,000 income bracket. All of this time, my dad was unemployed and back in school to earn another degree. He has just finished earning the degree, and he is currently searching for a new job. Assuming my dad gets a new job, how will my income status be affected, both now and after I’m in college?</p>
<p>FA packages for the 2009/10 school year are based on 2008 financial information, so his getting a job in 2009 will not affect your FA package. However, his additional income will affect your FA in later years.</p>
<p>Thanks! It makes more sense now.</p>
