<p>we have finished 4 years of FAFSA with 2013, we have our final scholarship award amount but we still have to finish my child’s senior year
If I now sign up for social security and thereby increase our annual income, do I need to ‘tell’ the financial aid office and will this negatively impact our last year’s award?</p>
<p>I’m assuming YOU wouldn’t be asking for a reassessment… 
No. FAFSA is based on previous year’s income. Enjoy your retirement.</p>
<p>I think the timing is good for you.</p>
