Share with Students: Income Not Reported on the FAFSA


There are some chances for many students to make mistakes when completing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA).

For instance, there are certain incomes and benefits students should not report in the FAFSA. Reporting unnecessary income information in the federal application is a mistake that can be avoided because these mistakes can be very costly, and may even keep students from receiving the financial assistance for which they may be eligible. As an example, students are not required to report Supplemental Security Income (SSI) or welfare payments.

The attached document will assist students to complete the FAFSA accurately.
