You are asking about “Special Circumstance”. Special Circumstance can be used to increase student’s Financial Aid (especially PELL). Special Circumstance is a situation that student’s or parent’s income is critically decreased by losing a job, bankruptcy, big medical expense, or any other event. You say that 2012-2013 FAFSA was completed. So, your child needs to go to Financial Aid Office and applies for Special Circumstance. Financial Aid Office will give a form which needs to be completed by student and parent. Also, they will ask the proof of unemployment and parents’2011 Income Tax Return. The proof of unemployment is the statement of unemployment benefit and the bank statement if you have direct deposit for unemployment benefit. Your child can ask additional Federal Grant like Federal SEOG (Supplemental Education Opportunity Grant) when he or she speaks to financial aid counselor, but it is not guaranteed.
