Ask them if bank statements, W-4’s from your part time work, letters from the cosigners on your loans, or letters from your parents would suffice. No use in running around for documents they won’t accept.

You will also need your pay stubs or W-2 forms from your work.

You can get these if you lost them by talking to your employer.

They usually don’t like giving them to you but just do have them do it anyways.

The reason you need both your pay stubs and financial aid is because your income from work is so low. The financial aid document will show where you get your additional income for rent ect… and is typically not counted as real income so shouldn’t affect getting the discounts.

I would show the utility company your paycheck stubs, they prob have the same discounts for those who earn nothing just the same who earn very little.

it’s suspicious because nobody can really live on $1000 a year. so you kind of have to show how you actually paid rent, survived, ate, etc.
