How is EFC Determined?
• Three Federal Methodology (FM) models
– Dependent student
– Independent student
– Independent student with dependents other than a spouse
![Page 3: Session 33](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051702/56812ac3550346895d8e91be/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
3
How is EFC Determined?• Three distinct FM
formulas
– Regular
– Simplified
– Automatic zero
![Page 4: Session 33](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051702/56812ac3550346895d8e91be/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
4
Alternate Formulas • Simplified Formula
– Assets not considered• Parents’ AGI or earnings from work < $50,000 and
• Parents are not required to file IRS form 1040
• Automatic Zero
– EFC is automatically zero if• Parents’ AGI or income earned from work is $20,000 or less
and
• Parents are not required to file IRS form 1040
![Page 5: Session 33](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051702/56812ac3550346895d8e91be/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
5
Independent Students• Independent Students without Dependents other than a
spouse
– Applies to single and married independent students
– May NOT qualify for automatic zero EFC
– May qualify for simplified formula• Student (and spouse) AGI or earnings from work < $50,000
and
• Student (and spouse) not required to file IRS form 1040
![Page 6: Session 33](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051702/56812ac3550346895d8e91be/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
6
Independent Students• Independent Students with Dependents other than a Spouse
– Analysis looks much like that of parents of dependent students
– EFC automatically zero if• Student’s (and spouse’s) AGI or income earned from work is
$20,000 or less and
• Student (and spouse) not required to file IRS form 1040
![Page 7: Session 33](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051702/56812ac3550346895d8e91be/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
7
Independent Students• May qualify for simplified
formula
– Student (and spouse) AGI or earnings from work < $50,000 and
– Student (and spouse) not required to file IRS form 1040
![Page 8: Session 33](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051702/56812ac3550346895d8e91be/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
8
Simplified & Automatic Zero• Means-Tested Federal Benefit Programs
– Students also qualify for simplified formula or automatic zero if, in addition to meeting relevant income thresholds, they or their parents received benefits from a means-tested federal benefit program
• SSI• TANF• WIC• Food Stamps• Free or Reduced Price Lunches
![Page 9: Session 33](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051702/56812ac3550346895d8e91be/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
9
Factors that affect EFC
• Number in Household
– Number in College
• Taxed and Untaxed income
– Taxes paid
• Investments
• Age of the older parent
• Number of wage earners
![Page 10: Session 33](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051702/56812ac3550346895d8e91be/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
10
Principles of Need Analysis• Family has primary responsibility to pay for educational
costs• Student and parents are expected to contribute to the extent
they are able• Family should be accepted in its present financial
condition• Families should be evaluated in an equitable and consistent
manner
![Page 11: Session 33](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051702/56812ac3550346895d8e91be/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
11
Need Analysis Concepts
• Need-based funds are available to assist with educational costs that exceed the family’s ability to pay
• FM assesses strength at the time of application
• Family resources are devoted first to basic subsistence
![Page 12: Session 33](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051702/56812ac3550346895d8e91be/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
12
Need Analysis Concepts• Beyond basic needs,
families can exercise discretion
• FM allowances protect family resources
– Basic needs
– Non-education related discretionary costs
![Page 13: Session 33](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051702/56812ac3550346895d8e91be/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
13
Need Analysis Concepts• FM measures
discretionary resources
– Establishes a portion available for education
![Page 14: Session 33](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051702/56812ac3550346895d8e91be/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
14
The Baldwin Family
• The family in the example is
– A married couple with 4 children who live in Missouri
– Grandfather also lives with the family
– Older parent is age 49
– Both parents work
![Page 15: Session 33](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051702/56812ac3550346895d8e91be/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
15
Treatment of Income in FM
• Total Income:
Base year income from all taxable and untaxable sources
-Exclusions (FAFSA Worksheet C)
=Total Income
![Page 16: Session 33](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051702/56812ac3550346895d8e91be/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
16
Treatment of Income in FM
• Available Income
– Portion of income remaining for discretionary spending:
Total income-Total Allowances
=Available Income (AI)
![Page 17: Session 33](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051702/56812ac3550346895d8e91be/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
17
Total Allowances• Allowances for taxes
– U. S. Income tax paid
– Estimate of state and other taxes
• State of residence
• Amount of total income
– FICA
![Page 18: Session 33](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051702/56812ac3550346895d8e91be/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
18
Total Allowances
• Income Protection Allowance-IPA
– Estimates amount needed for basic needs
– Based on Bureau of Labor Statistics lower budget expenditures adjusted for CPI
– Increases with each household member
– Decreases with each member in college
![Page 19: Session 33](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051702/56812ac3550346895d8e91be/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
19
Total Allowances • Employment expense
allowance
– Represents additional costs when both parents work
– Applies to working single parent families
![Page 20: Session 33](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051702/56812ac3550346895d8e91be/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
20
Treatment of Assets in FM
• Assets defined
– Cash, savings, checking
– Investments and trusts
– Real estate equity
– Business/farm equity (non-family only)• Protects first 60% of equity up to $105K
• Decreases protection percentage after $105K
![Page 21: Session 33](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051702/56812ac3550346895d8e91be/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
21
Treatment of Assets in FM
Cash, savings, checking
+Net worth of real estate and investments
+Adjusted net worth of business/farm
=Total Net Worth

23
Treatment of Parents’ Assets in FM • Education Savings and Asset Protection
Allowance– Protects assets for retirement and future
education costs– Applies > age 25
• Increases with age• Adjusted for marital status
– No protection for dependent students
![Page 24: Session 33](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051702/56812ac3550346895d8e91be/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)

Treatment of Parents’ Assets in FM
Discretionary Net Worth
X 12% (asset conversion rate)
=Contribution from Assets
![Page 25: Session 33](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051702/56812ac3550346895d8e91be/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)

=Total Adjusted Available Income (+ / -)
![Page 26: Session 33](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051702/56812ac3550346895d8e91be/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
26
Determining Parents’ Contribution• As income increases, amount needed for basic household
expenses decreases
– Discretionary income increases
– Income available for education
Adjusted Available Income (AAI)
X AAI contribution rate
=Total Parents’ Contribution from AAI
![Page 27: Session 33](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051702/56812ac3550346895d8e91be/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
27
Determining Parents’ Contribution
• Total contribution from AAI is divided evenly among all household members in college
Total PC from AAI = 9-month PC
Number in College
![Page 28: Session 33](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051702/56812ac3550346895d8e91be/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
28
Determining Student’s Contribution
Total of student taxed + untaxed income
- state and federal taxes
- $2550 IPA
-allowance for parents’ negative AAI
= Available income (AI)
X 50% assessment of AI
= Student contribution from AI
![Page 29: Session 33](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051702/56812ac3550346895d8e91be/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)

Determining EFC
Parents’ Contribution
+Student’s Contribution from AI
+Student’s Contribution from assets
= 9 month EFC
![Page 31: Session 33](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051702/56812ac3550346895d8e91be/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
31
What about Unusual Circumstances?
• If you have a student with unusual circumstances you can use professional judgment to adjust:
– Cost of Attendance• Adjust elements that are related to the student’s cost
of attending the school
– Data elements that are part of the formula• You may not adjust the bottom line
![Page 32: Session 33](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051702/56812ac3550346895d8e91be/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
32
What if?• Mr. Baldwin has an accident and injures his back
while putting a new roof on the house• The family has $10,000 in unreimbursed medical
expenses– They have cashed in some of their investments
to pay these expenses• They want to know if you can adjust their assets to
take this unexpected event into account
![Page 33: Session 33](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051702/56812ac3550346895d8e91be/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
33
What if?• Remember that the parents have no contribution from
assets
– Adjusting the assets by $10,000 will have no effect on the current EFC
