A little backstory: My mother's husband (my stepdad) has been living with us for almost 5 years. He makes a considerable amount of money but he has never paid for a dollar of my schooling or anything else really, therefore we've never claim his income on the application on the FAFSA form. We claim my biological fathers income (who does help me out financially when he can).
This most recent time I applied they somehow discovered that my stepdad had been in the same household the entire time I'd been receiving aid, and even though he doesn't help me financially in any way his income should be claimed... Not only do they say this restricts me from receiving further aid but now my family has to pay back the $20k I've already received and I can't register for classes next semester until this is paid back... Can they do this?? Help!
