20192020 DISLOCATED WORKER/DISPLACED
HOMEMAKER FINANCIAL AID UPDATE FORM
The FAFSA information received by the Student Financial Services Office indicated that you, your spouse, or a
parent was a “dislocated worker.” The federal definition of a “dislocated worker” lists four types of people who
are dislocated workers:
1. A person who is receiving unemployment benefits due to lay off or losing a job and is unlikely to
return to a previous occupation.
2. A person who has received a lay-off notice from a job.
3. A self-employed person who has lost income and is under-employed due to the economy.
4. A person who is a displaced homemaker — one who provided unpaid services in the home and is no
longer supported by the husband or wife.
Note: A person who has quit a job may not be considered a dislocated worker.
Please indicate the name of the person(s) for whom you have indicated “Dislocated Worker” status.

If the 2017 tax information submitted on the FAFSA does not accurately describe the income(s) available for the
2018 calendar year, you may submit actual current year income documentation (2018) to see if you are eligible for
an “income adjustment” made to the FAFSA.
Bring your most recent paycheck stubs or your earnings summary from your unemployment office. Your current
or anticipated unemployment benefit summary will also be needed. Documentation for each dislocated worker
should be attached to this form and submitted to the Student Financial Services Office for reprocessing of the
FAFSA. By submitting this information and signing this request, you are requesting a “Professional Judgment
Review.”

Contact your local Job Center or Unemployment Center to determine if additional federal or state grants may be
available through the Workforce Investment Act to help get training and/or educational assistance. These grants
are intended to help dislocated workers get back into some type of regular employment. Assistance may be
available for parents as well as our current students.
