Office of Student Financial Aid

Providing Dollars for OC Students

Active Duty Military Students and Dependents 2010-2011

Military students and dependents applying for Financial Aid will need to report all military untaxed benefits (housing allowance, cost of living allowance, etc.) on their FAFSA and provide documentation of untaxed income or benefits to the Olympic College Financial Aid Office.

Annual untaxed benefit information is available on the military member's December Leave and Earnings Statement (LES).  If applying for the 2010-2011 award year, the December 2009 LES is used to compute your financial aid.  

Please use the below links to aid you in obtaining and reporting untaxed benefits.

Military Untaxed Benefits Worksheet .  Military members and their families receive untaxed income per year.  This form is used to indicate the amount of untaxed military benefits received by a financial aid applicant. 

The Defense Finance and Accounting Service (DFAS) will provide you with Leave and Earning Statement (LES) Information and Basic Allowance Rates to help in the computation of untaxed income and benefits.  The DFAS system is a useful tool that can be used to complete your Military Untaxed Benefits Worksheet.

Leave and Earnings Statement.  If you provide our financial aid office with a copy of your LES, please indicate on your LES if you did, or did not live in base housing.  If you did not live in base housing, you will need to provide the zip code for the military member's address of record.

Note: Change for 2011-2012.  For the 2011-2012 academic year, students in this category will only need to turn in their LES, if selected for verification.
