So I’m trying to wrap my head around this. My mom is a widow and the head of the household. She made around 45,000 and I made around 10,000. I’ve checked for errors in my FAFSA applications so many times. We have no extra assets. I also used the IRS data retrieval tool for the tax component, so I doubt there are mistakes there. My EFC comes out to be around 29,000. I don’t understand it. I have been receiving financial aid since started uni. I’m in my last year of undergrad and it’s going to have to come out of my pocket. I’m not working a lot either because of how things are right now It’s such a frustrating time.
