Your Questions About Fafsa

Sharon asks…

Can you still send in your FAFSA if you dont have a drivers license?

I was planning to send in my Fafsa today, but I cant find my drivers license anywhere! The Fafsa asks for a drivers license number. Can I still send it in if I dont have one? And will it be sent back if I send it in without one?

Our pick of the answers:

Yes you can. Leave the state the drivers license was issued and the number blank.

Mandy asks…

Can a son receive the FAFSA if his father is currently receiving the FAFSA?

My boyfriend is applying for the FAFSA and he's an independent under 24 with divorced parents. He's unsure whether to report his father's earnings or his mother's. His father (who has four other dependents and lived off of food stamps in the last 5 years) was approved for the FAFSA and is currently using it. His mother made 90k last year but declared bankruptcy a week ago. My question is, would it hurt him to report his father who is on the FAFSA more than his mother?

Our pick of the answers:

If your boyfriend is still a dependent he will need to provide the information of the parent who provided the most support to him during the past year (provided that he doesn't live with either of them). This could be a parent who bought him any clothes or food, etc. If neither parent contributed anything to him, then he is supposed to use the information of the parent who makes the most money (this is all on the fafsa website in the FAQs section). Yes, a son and father can both receive fafsa at the same time. In addition, your boyfriend would probably get more money reporting his father's income, as bankruptcy makes no difference... It's purely income. He will also have to report his income. If he's asked for verification, he'll have to prove that he was correct in choosing the parent that he did -- by proof of support. Good luck to you.
