How should students with dependents report that information on the FAFSA?
Students who have children who receive more than half of their support from them should answer yes to Q51, which asks whether they have dependents. Students who have unborn children that will be born before the end of the award year and will be provided more than 50% support by student should also say yes to Q51. Students should be able to report some sort of taxable or untaxed benefits that prove they support their child to be considered dependent. If the student’s parent supports both parties, then the student should provide parental information.
