Common use of Potential Impact on Financial Aid and Medicaid Eligibility Clause in Contracts

Potential Impact on Financial Aid and Medicaid Eligibility. (a) The eligibility of the Beneficiary for financial aid will depend upon the circumstances of the Beneficiary’s family at the time the Beneficiary enrolls in an Eligible Educational Institution, as well as on the policies of the governmental agencies, school, or private organizations to which the Beneficiary and/or the Beneficiary’s family applies for financial assistance. Because saving for college will increase the financial resources available to the Beneficiary, it most likely will have some effect on the Beneficiary’s eligibility. However, because these policies vary at different institutions and can change over time, the Board cannot say with certainty how the federal financial aid program, or the school the Beneficiary applies to, will treat an Account.
