It is very odd Calmom. Schools are not supposed to just change your data unless there is some good reason for it.

Sigh. </p>

<p>They DID have a good reason. </p>

<p>I just didn’t have to bring it to their attention. </p>

<p>They figured it out all by themselves without bothering to ask me what I thought about it.</p>

<p>

They usually document things well because If they are ever audited and could not show the reason for the adjustment they are responsible for repaying any over-awards

</p>

<p>As I have told you again and again, it was documented. It just didn’t require extra documentation from me.</p>

<p>

Schools are not supposed to make adjustments unless they consider something was wrong or there is a special circumstance that fits in with the feds rules. Certainly not to “make someone pell eligible”, unless some special situation exists that justifies making such an adjustment. Did you ask them why they made this adjustment?

</p>

<p>I have posted in detail several times what the circumstance was, how they found it, how I came to ask them about it, and that they explained it to me. Have you even read any of my posts? At least Steve has done me the courtesy of reading what I post before taking issue or disagree. You seem to simply ignore it and debate things. </p>

<p>The special circumstance is that I had an unusual big expense that the made the college think that I had a lot less available income than the FAFSA formula would indicate. They could see what that expense was, because it was a tax write off for me, but it was the kind of tax writeoff that reduces my tax liability if not my AGI. (that’s why my taxes for that year were 0 – the IRS also cut me a break).</p>
