07.10.09 | Do I report stepparents' information?
Your stepparent’s financial information is required on the FAFSA:
- If the parent you received financial support from was a single parent who is now married, or
- If the parent you received financial support from was divorced or widowed but has remarried
This does not mean your stepparent is obligated to give financial assistance to you, but his or her income and assets represent significant information about the family’s financial reresources. Including this infomration on the FAFSA helps the Department of Education form an accurate picture of your family’s total financial strength.
