- Probably not.. I would imagine that Social Sec Number has deceased data attached to it.
- They may run a check on your social security number, so if you can't prove it or it's not true don't put it. But there shouldn't be any worries as long as you answer honestly.
- They will probably ask for their social security numbers and then they'll have proof of their own. After my parents died, the strangest people asked me for copies of their death certificates. I woulod go along with what ever they want though. You can get copies from either the county or state where they died. Look around, you may have one or two left over. Sorry about your parents. Good luck to you! Make a great future for you! I'm sure they'll be proud!
- No, they are basically asking on an honor system, but you are signing the back, saying that all of it is true and if they DO find out, then I don't know what will happen outside of you not getting aid.
- yes it will.............
- no, but if the college wanted to make trouble for you because you were somehow there "prime" candidate for disaster, they could run a background check and find out about your deceased parents and what not, but if your parents are deceased then it shouldnt matter, the school is really who is getting the government money, so it ultimately there discision.
- Fasfa won't, but when the college you chose to receive your information gets it they will verify it by having you give them copies of death certificates. Some will verify your income by having you provide taxes also.
- The college will probably ask you to produce their death certificates if there is no other circumstance under which you are eligible to be independent. However, please keep in mind that if, after your natural parents died, you were adopted by someone else, that person(s) is/are your legal parent and unless that parent(s) is/are also deceased, you must report their income. Falsely certifying your parents are deceased to get more financial aid is considered fraud and is a federal felony with a significant fine and jail time attached. Think twice if your parents, one or both, are still living. If there are some other circumstances, parental abandonment, abuse, an extenuating circumstance, consult the financial aid office at the school you are most likely to attend first for assistance.
