you need to go to the financial aid office and ask for the FAFSA income admendment form (i think it is called that). every person has the right to file it because incomes can change way after the filing date. your financial aid officer should be able to walk you through the form. you are not contesting the amount of your PELL grant. you are changing the amount of reportable income due to job loss/change.
i had to do this in college. my freshman year - my stepfather's income changed dramatically after we had filed the normal form. i went to the office and explained the situation. we then had to file the admendment form. my co-worker had to do this because PHEAA went off of current income and did not look at the whole situation for her son. it's aggrevating, long, but worth it.
like i said, your best bet is to go the the office, explain the situation, and ask to amend your upcoming year of information. |
