hi. this may seem like a dumb question, but i will ask it anyway.

i currently collect social security disability and SSI benefits. when i come up to worksheet A on the FAFSA it mentions “social security benefits (such as SSI)”. i was confused by the wording and i called 18004fedaid and spoke to a rep about this. i asked whether or not SSI benefits should be included in the same category as social security benefits since they are 2 very different programs and if so should i report them on the FAFSA. after being on hold for about 2 minutes she told me that she did not know for sure.

now i am asking anyone who apparently knows more than that young lady i talked to to chime in. that includes any member who is an FAA.
