Hi, I've been looking around to find some answers for some time... I'm a transfer student in CA beginning to be admitted to universities in my state. My mom is disabled and was receiving SSI last year, and I've been pushing her to please get her taxes done so I can update my fafsa information for 2014-2015 year, but she still hasn't done them. I get mixed answers from her that she hasn't received all the forms she needs to report, that she's waiting for her friend to fly to our city to file them, etc... I'm not sure what to believe as we've never been on good standing terms, but I'm terribly worried that it might affect the financial aid packages I receive from universities within the next month or so.
As of January, I filed my fafsa very early using last year's estimated numbers, stating that my parent will file, and that they were receiving SSI payments. We normally make less than $12k a year, so I'm absolutely depending on receiving financial aid. I'm very nervous about all of it and would love to hear any information or personal experiences someone might have had dealing with this kind of situation. Any help is kindly appreciated. I will also be calling the admission offices of the schools I've been admitted to this week. Thanks in advance!
