Request to be re-evaluated
Since the FAFSA uses prior year tax data (e.g. the 2022-23 FAFSA uses 2020 tax information) to calculate estimated family contribution (EFC), students whose financial situation or household has changed due to income change, job loss, death, divorce or extraordinary expenses/situations can request a professional judgement to re-evaluate your financial aid eligibility. Below are the different professional judgments that can be submitted for review.
Families impacted by COVID-19
If your family has been affected by COVID-19, the following re-evaluation can be submitted for the current year.
Submit the COVID-19 re-evaluation using 2022 income and benefits form and required documentation if your family’s income has changed significantly in 2022 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
For the 2022-2023 school year
The re-evaluation using 2022 income and benefits form will be available on January 1, 2023.
Submit the re-evaluation using 2021 income and benefits form and required documentation if there has been a change in your or your parent’s income from 2020 to 2021. You must have 2021 tax data.
Submit the 2022-2023 special circumstances form if your family has had a change to the household or extraordinary expenses that may have affected the financial situation in the household.
If you have any question about the process or your situation, we are here to help.
