Financial Aid And Marriage?

I am an older returning student file every year the 1st week in January. As usual I filed my 2008 fasfa for 2009-2010 school year. I have disability with income of 670.00 per month. Based on both my long time boyfriend and my health issues we married so I would be protected w/his pension b-4 upcoming surgery. 2010 will be my Bachelors Graduation date. Will this affect my money for my last year in school it has taken me years to get here can they penalize me if I already submitted my application?

    You should resubmit or update your FAFSA. They will now have to take your husband's income into consideration when granting you aid. If you have any aid from being disabled then that should not be affected. But if you are receiving aid because your income met certain requirements then it is possible you will lose some of your aid because it is now higher.
