<div class=Section1>
<p class=MsoNormal>We have a student that has informed us that she is expecting
a baby in February 2010 and would like us to “re-evaluate” her FAFSA.
She has been a student of ours for several semesters and was not selected for
verification for 2009-10. She was packaged at the beginning of the summer
(probably before she knew she was pregnant) and has subsequently received her
fall disbursement of FSA funds. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Are we required to update her household size to include the
unborn child? She is independent by age and has only reported 1 in the
household. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"New Baskerville","serif";
color:black'>What I found in the Handbook says, “Unlike dependency
status, household size or number in college <b>cannot </b>be updated unless the
student is selected for verification. If he is selected, these items <b>must </b>be
updated to be correct at the time of verification unless they changed due to a
change in the student’s mari­tal status, in which case updating is
not permitted.</span>” <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Does this mean that we have to select the student for
verification and proceed with the update? Or, since she wasn’t originally
selected for verification, has already been packaged, and received a FSA
disbursement, is making the update optional? <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
