Financial-aid appeal screen (US federal aid / FAFSA)
Financial-aid appeal screen (US federal aid / FAFSA): routes a situation to the correct legal lane — HEA §479A professional judgment (job loss, medical, divorce, disaster), dependency override, unsub-only certification, or homeless-youth determination — with statutory citations, the documentation checklist, deny-risk screens (IPA medical math, era gates), and honest non-qualifier answers. Deterministic, no LLM.
