Betty.Pz 0 Posted March 19, 2013 Hey there.. so I have a couple of questions.. hope someone could help me please. So I know that in N.Y. DACA applicants are not eligible for financial aid because you need to prove that you're either a resident or citizen. Now, what do we qualify for now that we have the work authorization and ss#, besides being able to work legally. For example, can we apply for health insurance. Thanks for the help guys. And good luck to everyone. :-) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

itzel 336 Posted March 19, 2013 ruthie: heres the link with more info, be sure and check that the college does accept TASFA first and the deadline, because here in my city the deadline to turn it in was March 15. 1 ruthie_sue08 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ruthie_sue08 31 Posted March 19, 2013 Yeah i called around already & the deadlines are in May so I'm still good! I'll be going first thing tomorrow morning. I'm so glad you posted that because i honestly thought i couldn't get financial help. I'm gonna try to do the work/study program at my college. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
