For Some Filipino-Americans, Language Barriers Leave Culture Lost in Translation | KQED

When it came time for Dominic Lim to pick a language to study in high school, he chose French. He chose it not because he was particularly interested in the language, but because the only other option was Spanish.
"I consciously picked French because I didn't want to learn Spanish and then feel bad that I was learning Spanish, which was so similar to Tagalog ..." said Lim. "I know that's very bizarre but it's like, if I learned French then I wouldn't feel so bad that I didn't learn Tagalog."
Lim, 41, is first-generation Filipino-American. He never learned to speak his family's native language, Tagalog.
He loves adobo, sinigang and lumpia. He grew up surrounded by his large extended family, whom he regularly saw at gatherings.

"Going to all these family parties and weddings and everything, you know you hear the older cousins talking to aunts and uncles, but you can't really join in," said Lim. "I felt like they probably didn't respect the kids as much because we couldn't talk to them in their own language. That was, for me, the biggest, most emotional regret that I have. It's the most emotional component, for me, of being Filipino."
It was this language barrier that made him question what it meant to be Filipino in America, a situation not uncommon among Filipino-Americans (including me). According to the most recent U.S. Census data, only about half of the 1.4 million Filipinos in California speak Tagalog, Ilocano or Visayan.
“Even though I’ve always been proud of being Filipino, I had never really questioned the facets of one's own racial identity,” said Lim. “But I always thought that the language component of it was sort of the one piece I was lacking.”
While he can understand the language, he often wondered about the stories or conversations he missed out on with his family because he couldn’t speak it back. He tried learning on his own in his 20s, but nothing ever really stuck. He wondered, for a long time, why his parents never taught him the language in the first place.
The 'Benefits' of Speaking English
Lim now works as a paralegal at a biotech firm in Emeryville. He was a successful student, in part because his mother was very keen on perfecting his English.
His mother, Consuelo Tokita, is a small woman with a strong Filipino accent. She taught English in the Philippines before the family moved to the United States in 1975, but knew that there was no way that she'd be allowed to teach it here because of her accent.
“I know for everybody coming here to the United States, it's always a struggle," said Tokita. "There’s always that portion of being scared. Will my husband get a job? Will I be able to get a job myself? How will I take care of my baby? How will I feed him? Things like that came to my mind.”
For Tokita, being tough about learning English was all about assimilating, and protecting her four kids.
“The fact that I could read, even before I went into kindergarten, really set in motion my academic track throughout my entire life. ... It was really important for my mom to do that for me,” said Lim.
Upon arriving to the United States, the family settled down in Newport News, Virginia, where Tokita said she experienced discrimination everywhere from the streets to church.
Tokita's husband, who passed away in 2005, lost his job 13 times, partly because he had difficulty socializing and speaking English.
“There were regrets also on my part, and I had wished that I had exposed (the kids) to Tagalog,” she said. “But the benefits of talking in English are larger than speaking to them in our language.”
Lily Wong Fillmore, a professor emerita of education at the University of California at Berkeley, studies the benefits of bilingualism. She says there is a lot to gain from knowing more than one language.
"Children are naturally endowed with the capacity to learn as many languages as they have opportunity and social support for learning," said Fillmore. "Recent research in Canada indicates that full bilingualism may even confer some protection against memory loss in old age. The evidence is very strong that bilingualism endows children with greater intellectual flexibility and advantages that may last throughout their lives."
A ResidualEffect of Colonialism
Lily Ann Villaraza is a historian who specializes in Philippine and Southeast Asian history. She is also the chair of the Philippine Studies Department at City College of San Francisco, the only department in the country with faculty and a department chair solely focused on the study of the Philippines.
Villaraza said that a Filipino immigrant family's reluctance to teach a native language is a residual effect of American colonialism, whereby Filipinos were taught to believe that English was the only linguistic gateway to success.
“Parents and grandparents who’ve come here have been convinced that their children and grandchildren only need to know English to be successful,” said Villaraza. “(But) if you learn the language and are able to communicate with people in their primary language, whether it be Tagalog, Ilonggo or whatever, there’s an immediate 'Oh!' and there's an opening up, and a greater willingness to share. And I think that’s what a lot of Fil-Ams are looking for.”
Language and Identity
Niel Calara, 18, was born in the Philippines and immigrated to the United States when he was 15. He knows how to speak Tagalog, but generally chooses not to speak it.
“English became a big part of me,” said Calara, who is in his first year at City College of San Francisco. "Apparently people think I'm whitewashed because I speak English at home.”
Calara was overwhelmed by the United States when he arrived, but he was also fascinated by it. He watched American movies all his life and even contemplated majoring in English. He shifted to English as his primary language, even at home, where his parents continued to speak their native dialect.
But in the process of learning about American culture, the undeniable aspects of his Filipino identity only became more apparent to him.
“I started to imitate them and participate in their culture. But like, if I think about it, I look so different from them,” he said.
In his attempt to assimilate in the way that Lim’s mother hoped her children would, Calara found himself realizing the differences he couldn't hide from, no matter how good his English was.
“What do I represent, you know? Because I can't just say 'I’m white' because I know how to speak English properly. I can't just say that because I represent something. There's something about me that's original. And I began to question that.”
It was here that Calara began to appreciate those differences.
“For me, I feel like I valued my culture once I arrived here,” said Calara. “I never got to learn the actual value we had, and I thought it was beautiful.”
Language as a Bridge
Vicenta Asuncion, 25, sat in the front of Villaraza’s Filipino Family class at City College of San Francisco. A second-generation Filipina-American, Asuncion lived in Alabama for a few years, where she had something of an identity crisis.
“I didn’t know who I was, because I was the only one with chinky eyes,” she said. “Growing up, I thought I was just a brown white girl.”
Then she moved back to Daly City with her grandparents, whose primary language was Tagalog. It was there that her grandparents would teach her about Filipino culture. But in order to learn from them, she said, she knew she had to be able to communicate with them in their language.
“Listening to my grandmother speak to me in Tagalog and having to sit there and be like, ‘I don’t know what you’re talking about,’ kind of gave me this sense of disconnection with culture.”
Asuncion began taking Tagalog classes in the second grade. Now, she speaks Ilocano, Tagalog and Visayan.
“Finally being able to communicate with my grandmother, instead of her getting frustrated trying to explain stuff to me in English because she doesn't speak English very well, being able to hear her and understand everything she's saying and being able to articulate my answers to her just made everything so much better for me," Asuncion said. "Language is how you get a foot in the door with culture."
As for Dominic Lim, he doesn’t think that there’s enough cultural support from the Filipino-American community that stresses learning native Filipino languages. Villaraza is working to change that.
“What I think (people) need to realize is that language is one of the most important gateways for people to have a deeper understanding of who they are and the cultures that they come from,” said Villaraza. “And to not discount that, to believe that there is value in learning Filipino but also retaining the language.”
Lim said he doesn’t think he’ll ever be able to reconcile never learning his parents' native language. His mother reminds him that it’s never too late to learn. But in some ways, he says, it is.
“I think the politics and the relationship between the Philippines and the United States is a long one, and that's not really our job to sort that out," Lim said. "But if there has been any regret, it’s because I couldn't talk to the people I probably should've talked to, about the things that might have been important.”

After SAFE submitted signatures on March 4, the registrar failed to complete its count by the county charter-mandated deadline of 10 days. The registrar then applied state rules to set a new 30-day deadline for completing the count.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While tabulating the signatures between March 4 and April 15, Protect the Win, a committee formed to support Price, argues that the registrar appears to have ignored a portion of the county charter that required all signature gatherers to be registered voters in Alameda County. Price’s attorney said the recall count was illegal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re going to ask the board of supervisors to do the right thing,” said James Sutton, an attorney for Protect the Win. “Either don’t put it on the ballot because it’s illegal, or at the very least, have the county go to court to have a judge answer these questions.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sutton said he asked the registrar how many signatures were collected by people who were not registered as voters in Alameda County but hasn’t received a response.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The registrar and the county counsel have not responded to KQED’s requests for comment. But in a letter to the board in November, Donna Ziegler, the county counsel, called the requirement that signature gatherers be registered county voters “unconstitutional,” citing U.S. Supreme Court decisions that found similar requirements for circulating initiative petitions invalid.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sutton said the county doesn’t get to decide whether or not to follow a rule that’s still on the books — even if that rule might lose in a court battle. He said the county should have gone to a judge to get an opinion on whether it should enforce the rule. The legal determination, which resolves uncertainty for litigants, is known as declaratory relief.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>David Levine, a UC Law SF professor and civil procedure expert, told KQED that the registrar’s decision to follow its counsel’s opinion was not necessarily wrong.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Counties make decisions all the time, saying, ‘Well, we think this is the right way to go.’ But, of course, somebody might disagree,” Levine said. “They might sue, and declaratory relief could have been an option at that point, but I don’t see it as being required.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Levine said the county was likely trying to maneuver out of a tough spot.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“My guess? They’re trying to follow the stricter rule first,” he said. “And when they couldn’t comply with the stricter rule, they said, ‘Well, we at least have an argument for the looser state rule, so let’s go with the looser rule.’”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>SAFE has been inconsistent about which rules it thinks should apply to recall procedures.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a letter to the Board of Supervisors on April 22, SAFE asked the supervisors to follow the county’s mandate that an election be scheduled between 35 and 40 days from receiving notice from the registrar that the signatures qualified for a recall election. In the same letter, SAFE requested Supervisor Nate Miley add an agenda item for Tuesday’s meeting instructing the board to set an election date using the state’s scheduling timeline of 88 and 125 days.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At a press conference on April 16, Carl Chan of SAFE alleged that the registrar’s rejection of 39% of the recall signatures was in part due to the registrar improperly imposing a county rule requiring signers to include their occupation with their signature. Chan said the county should have followed the state rules, which don’t require an occupation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>SAFE’s Brenda Grisham said an election should be scheduled without delay following the certification of recall signatures, citing the county charter. She said the county has never clearly laid out what recall rules it would follow and how the passage of Measure B might change them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They just wanted to toggle between the two,” she said. “And so we’re going to toggle with them, whichever one is best for us.”\u003c/p>\n\n","blocks":[],"excerpt":"Alameda County District Attorney Pamela Price plans to ask the Board of Supervisors to declare the recall signature count illegal at its meeting on Tuesday, adding to an already confusing recall process.","status":"publish","parent":0,"modified":1714419976,"stats":{"hasAudio":false,"hasVideo":false,"hasChartOrMap":false,"iframeSrcs":[],"hasGoogleForm":false,"hasGallery":false,"hasHearkenModule":false,"hasPolis":false,"paragraphCount":23,"wordCount":971},"headData":{"title":"Alameda County District Attorney Challenges Recall Signature Count | KQED","description":"Alameda County District Attorney Pamela Price plans to ask the Board of Supervisors to declare the recall signature count illegal at its meeting on Tuesday, adding to an already confusing recall process.","ogTitle":"","ogDescription":"","ogImgId":"","twTitle":"","twDescription":"","twImgId":"","schema":{"@context":"http://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","headline":"Alameda County District Attorney Challenges Recall Signature Count","datePublished":"2024-04-29T19:00:05.000Z","dateModified":"2024-04-29T19:46:16.000Z","image":"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/KQED-OG-Image@1x.png","isAccessibleForFree":"Y","publisher":{"@type":"NewsMediaOrganization","@id":"https://www.kqed.org/#organization","name":"KQED","url":"https://www.kqed.org","logo":"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/KQED-OG-Image@1x.png"}}},"sticky":false,"excludeFromSiteSearch":"Include","articleAge":"0","path":"/news/11984353/alameda-county-district-attorney-challenges-recall-signature-count","audioTrackLength":null,"parsedContent":[{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003cp>Alameda County District Attorney Pamela Price told KQED she plans to ask the Board of Supervisors to declare the recall signature count illegal at its meeting on Tuesday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Save Alameda For Everyone, or SAFE, launched an effort to recall Price less than a year into her term.

After SAFE submitted signatures on March 4, the registrar failed to complete its count by the county charter-mandated deadline of 10 days. The registrar then applied state rules to set a new 30-day deadline for completing the count.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While tabulating the signatures between March 4 and April 15, Protect the Win, a committee formed to support Price, argues that the registrar appears to have ignored a portion of the county charter that required all signature gatherers to be registered voters in Alameda County. Price’s attorney said the recall count was illegal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re going to ask the board of supervisors to do the right thing,” said James Sutton, an attorney for Protect the Win. “Either don’t put it on the ballot because it’s illegal, or at the very least, have the county go to court to have a judge answer these questions.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sutton said he asked the registrar how many signatures were collected by people who were not registered as voters in Alameda County but hasn’t received a response.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The registrar and the county counsel have not responded to KQED’s requests for comment. But in a letter to the board in November, Donna Ziegler, the county counsel, called the requirement that signature gatherers be registered county voters “unconstitutional,” citing U.S. Supreme Court decisions that found similar requirements for circulating initiative petitions invalid.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sutton said the county doesn’t get to decide whether or not to follow a rule that’s still on the books — even if that rule might lose in a court battle. He said the county should have gone to a judge to get an opinion on whether it should enforce the rule. The legal determination, which resolves uncertainty for litigants, is known as declaratory relief.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>David Levine, a UC Law SF professor and civil procedure expert, told KQED that the registrar’s decision to follow its counsel’s opinion was not necessarily wrong.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Counties make decisions all the time, saying, ‘Well, we think this is the right way to go.’ But, of course, somebody might disagree,” Levine said. “They might sue, and declaratory relief could have been an option at that point, but I don’t see it as being required.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Levine said the county was likely trying to maneuver out of a tough spot.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“My guess? They’re trying to follow the stricter rule first,” he said. “And when they couldn’t comply with the stricter rule, they said, ‘Well, we at least have an argument for the looser state rule, so let’s go with the looser rule.’”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>SAFE has been inconsistent about which rules it thinks should apply to recall procedures.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a letter to the Board of Supervisors on April 22, SAFE asked the supervisors to follow the county’s mandate that an election be scheduled between 35 and 40 days from receiving notice from the registrar that the signatures qualified for a recall election. In the same letter, SAFE requested Supervisor Nate Miley add an agenda item for Tuesday’s meeting instructing the board to set an election date using the state’s scheduling timeline of 88 and 125 days.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At a press conference on April 16, Carl Chan of SAFE alleged that the registrar’s rejection of 39% of the recall signatures was in part due to the registrar improperly imposing a county rule requiring signers to include their occupation with their signature. Chan said the county should have followed the state rules, which don’t require an occupation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>SAFE’s Brenda Grisham said an election should be scheduled without delay following the certification of recall signatures, citing the county charter. She said the county has never clearly laid out what recall rules it would follow and how the passage of Measure B might change them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They just wanted to toggle between the two,” she said. “And so we’re going to toggle with them, whichever one is best for us.”\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}}],"link":"/news/11984353/alameda-county-district-attorney-challenges-recall-signature-count","authors":["11772"],"categories":["news_8"],"tags":["news_23318","news_30830","news_27626","news_24461"],"featImg":"news_11967804","label":"news"},"news_11984466":{"type":"posts","id":"news_11984466","meta":{"index":"posts_1591205157","site":"news","id":"11984466","found":true},"guestAuthors":[],"slug":"california-homeowners-say-oakland-lender-scammed-them-out-of-3m-in-home-improvements","title":"California Homeowners Say Oakland Lender Scammed Them Out of $3M in Home Improvements","publishDate":1714500039,"format":"standard","headTitle":"California Homeowners Say Oakland Lender Scammed Them Out of $3M in Home Improvements | KQED","labelTerm":{"site":"news"},"content":"\u003cp>Dozens of California homeowners allege an Oakland-based lending company conspired with contractors to issue fraudulent loans for home improvement projects that were never completed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nearly 160 complaints have been filed against the financial lending platform, Solar Mosaic, since 2019, according to data from the \u003ca href=\"https://www.consumerfinance.gov/data-research/consumer-complaints/search/?date_received_max=2024-04-28&date_received_min=2011-12-01&has_narrative=true&page=1&searchField=all&searchText=solar%20mosaic&size=100&sort=created_date_desc&tab=List\">Consumer Financial Protection Bureau\u003c/a>.

Rather, CADAA is a back-up option for students who are still blocked from completing FAFSA because one of their parents or guardians does not have a Social Security number, despite the recent fixes from the Department of Education.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We encourage [first-time students of mixed-status families] to first attempt to complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA),” said California State University Chancellor Mildred García.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If they are unable to do so, students should then complete the California Dream Act Application (CADAA) well before the May 2 deadline and later complete the FAFSA as soon as that becomes feasible,” García said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>What if I’m undocumented? Can I still apply for FAFSA?\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you, as the student, are undocumented and do not have a Social Security number, unfortunately, you cannot complete the FAFSA.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, in this situation, there are still ways to look for financial aid for college, even if you are undocumented. \u003ca href=\"https://www.csac.ca.gov/sites/main/files/file-attachments/california_dream_act_faq.pdf?1694549553\">Undocumented students in California can complete the California Dream Act Application (CADAA\u003c/a>) in order to be eligible for \u003ci>state\u003c/i> grants and loans for college (keep reading for more information on this application). You can also complete the CADAA if you have a valid or expired DACA, a U Visa or Temporary Protected Status.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Undocumented students can also apply to dozens of private colleges and universities and also apply for the scholarships and grants these schools offer. Make sure to check with each school you are interested in to see if they offer aid to undocumented students and what their process is like.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Changes to know about the California Dream Act \u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>CADAA — which provides aid for undocumented students — \u003ca href=\"https://www.csac.ca.gov/renewingthedream\">will also be streamlined\u003c/a> in the future to mirror the FAFSA, known as \u003ca href=\"https://www.csac.ca.gov/better-fafsa-better-cadaa\">the Better California Dream Act Application\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We are the ones, here at the California Student Commission, that administer the California Dream Act application,” Lemus said. “So we actually are the ones that can go ahead and change it.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With the arrival of the Better FAFSA application, the California Student Commission is now also looking at how to similarly streamline and simplify the California Dream Act for 2023, Lemus said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“As every year goes by, we’re listening for feedback, and so we’re constantly wanting to make updates as they come up,” Lemus said. “But what we’re looking at is also waiting on the updates to see what the FAFSA is going to look like, to see how we can streamline the California Dream Act.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In short, there may be something of a waiting game for hopeful California Dream Act applicants to find out exactly how that process will work. \u003ca href=\"https://legiscan.com/CA/text/AB1540/id/2828767\">Newsom has recently signed AB 1540\u003c/a> into law, which takes out an extra step for undocumented students to secure their aid by making the Dream Act application the only form they need to fill out (as opposed to submitting an affidavit to their college to \u003ca href=\"https://www.csac.ca.gov/sites/main/files/file-attachments/ab_1540_signed_press_release_100923.pdf\">verify their residency and be given a nonresident tuition exemption.\u003c/a>)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Keep in mind, however, that \u003ca href=\"https://studentaid.gov/sites/default/files/financial-aid-and-undocumented-students.pdf\">undocumented students\u003c/a> — including Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals recipients — are only currently eligible for \u003cem>state\u003c/em> student aid, not federal aid.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11968638\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11968638\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2023/11/pexels-william-fortunato-6140910.jpg\" alt=\"A young person in a grey hoodie stands smiling and looking at someone whose back is to the camera.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/11/pexels-william-fortunato-6140910.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/11/pexels-william-fortunato-6140910-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/11/pexels-william-fortunato-6140910-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/11/pexels-william-fortunato-6140910-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/11/pexels-william-fortunato-6140910-1536x1024.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">FAFSA will be shorter and streamlined this year. \u003ccite>(William Fortunato/Pexels)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003ch2>\u003ca id=\"private\">\u003c/a>If you’re also applying to private schools, don’t forget to complete the CSS Profile\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>The \u003ca href=\"https://cssprofile.collegeboard.org/\">CSS Profile\u003c/a> is a separate application operated by the CollegeBoard and used by private colleges and universities to determine how much financial aid they will give to students, in addition to FAFSA.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Paul Dieken, head of financial aid at Pomona College, a private liberal arts school in Southern California, said that his team looks at both FAFSA and the CSS Profile to get a more complete picture of what a student’s financial situation is.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The more money the college or university gets out of their own grants or scholarships, the more likely it is that they’re going to ask you to complete additional documentation like the CSS Profile,” he said.

If there are questions you just can’t answer — for example, your parents are separated, and you are unable to contact one of them because of safety reasons — contact the financial aid staff of the schools you’re applying to so they can give you specific instructions on what to do.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>\u003ca id=\"taxes\">\u003c/a>Q. My parents work but don’t have tax information available. How can I complete FAFSA?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>First, let’s do a quick breakdown of tax vocabulary:\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>A \u003cb>W-2 form\u003c/b> is a tax document that an employer gives workers once a year, which shows how much the employer paid the worker that year.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>A \u003cb>1040 form\u003c/b> is a tax document, also known as a tax return, that a worker completes themselves, usually with the help of a tax expert. This document is sent to the IRS each year to confirm how much that worker got paid and how much they owe the government in taxes.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>Most people in the U.S. receive a W-2 form and then complete a 1040 form themselves. FAFSA will ask your parents to share information from last year’s documents. But let’s say you ask your parents and they don’t have this information. It could be for one of these reasons:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If your parent is a gig worker, such as driving for Uber or doing deliveries for GrubHub, they most likely did not get a W-2 form. Instead, the company they work for gave them a 1099 form. Ask for “their 1099” instead.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If your parent did not work last year and received unemployment benefits instead, they most likely did not get a W-2 form. Instead, the state government sent them a 1099-G form, which lists how much they received from unemployment benefits. You can ask for this instead.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If your parent has a W-2 form but does not have last year’s 1040 form, this probably means they haven’t filed their taxes yet. Colleges will still want to see your parents’ taxes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Talk to your parents about scheduling an appointment with a tax preparer to catch up on this. There are many community organizations that offer free tax filing services year-round. \u003ca href=\"https://uwba.org/freetaxhelp/\">In the Bay Area, United Way can connect you to online and in-person tax help\u003c/a> — and your parents could potentially qualify to get cash back from the government when they file, based on their income and the size of your family.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If your family still needs to file their taxes, keep the schools you’re applying to updated about this step.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In some cases, parents may be working at a job where they just won’t receive a W-2 or 1099 at all. Perhaps they work as a housecleaner, a nanny, a landscaper, a farmworker or another job where they haven’t signed a formal paper contract and are getting paid in cash. If this is your family’s situation, don’t panic. There are solutions. But you’ll have to act quickly.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rosanna Ferro, chief of education at Oakland-based nonprofit College Track, recommends you first ask your parents, “How have you gotten paid in the past year or two?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ferro, whose organization works to help first-generation and low-income high school students from across the country graduate college, said that the point of this question is twofold: How often do your parents get paid, and how much do they get paid? The piece of information you need is what’s called “proof of income,” which can help you calculate how much your parents got paid per year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For example, let’s say your dad cleans houses and charges $100 per house. Based on the information he shares, you estimate that he can usually clean 10 houses a week. That approximates that he’s earning roughly $4,000 a month. Multiply that by 12 months, and you get an estimated $48,000 per year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>You may have to get crafty to help your parents organize this information, Ferro said. “Whether it’s creating an Excel sheet, a Google folder or scanning something — taking a picture, a receipt or anything that shows income in any kind of way and storing it in a way that’s going to be accessible to you,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Helping your parents create a digital record of their earnings will also help you in the future when you have to fill out FAFSA again every year you’re in college. This will be especially important if you go to a school far away from home and no longer have easy access to physical receipts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While you’re doing this, remember to contact a financial aid officer from any of the schools you’re applying to, who can advise your family on how to best input this information into FAFSA. They may ask you to share additional documents, like a letter from an employer or potentially filing a 1040 form with the data you’ve gathered.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“All in all, we ask for information that you can put in as accurately as possible,” said Sonia Jethani, the director of the financial aid office at California State University, East Bay.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11968635\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11968635\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2023/11/pexels-keira-burton-6147077.jpg\" alt=\"Three young people walk together on what looks like a city street, dressed warmly and smiling at each other.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/11/pexels-keira-burton-6147077.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/11/pexels-keira-burton-6147077-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/11/pexels-keira-burton-6147077-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/11/pexels-keira-burton-6147077-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/11/pexels-keira-burton-6147077-1536x1024.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">How can you work with your family to accurately complete your FAFSA? \u003ccite>(Keira Burton/Pexels)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003ch2>What else should I know about FAFSA in 2024?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>The California Student Aid Commission’s Michael Lemus said students can use the \u003ca href=\"https://www.csac.ca.gov/students\">California Student Commission\u003c/a> as a resource for financial aid questions.

It could be for one of these reasons:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If your parent is a gig worker, such as driving for Uber or doing deliveries for GrubHub, they most likely did not get a W-2 form. Instead, the company they work for gave them a 1099 form. Ask for “their 1099” instead.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If your parent did not work last year and received unemployment benefits instead, they most likely did not get a W-2 form. Instead, the state government sent them a 1099-G form, which lists how much they received from unemployment benefits. You can ask for this instead.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If your parent has a W-2 form but does not have last year’s 1040 form, this probably means they haven’t filed their taxes yet. Colleges will still want to see your parents’ taxes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Talk to your parents about scheduling an appointment with a tax preparer to catch up on this. There are many community organizations that offer free tax filing services year-round. \u003ca href=\"https://uwba.org/freetaxhelp/\">In the Bay Area, United Way can connect you to online and in-person tax help\u003c/a> — and your parents could potentially qualify to get cash back from the government when they file, based on their income and the size of your family.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If your family still needs to file their taxes, keep the schools you’re applying to updated about this step.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In some cases, parents may be working at a job where they just won’t receive a W-2 or 1099 at all. Perhaps they work as a housecleaner, a nanny, a landscaper, a farmworker or another job where they haven’t signed a formal paper contract and are getting paid in cash. If this is your family’s situation, don’t panic. There are solutions. But you’ll have to act quickly.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rosanna Ferro, chief of education at Oakland-based nonprofit College Track, recommends you first ask your parents, “How have you gotten paid in the past year or two?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ferro, whose organization works to help first-generation and low-income high school students from across the country graduate college, said that the point of this question is twofold: How often do your parents get paid, and how much do they get paid? The piece of information you need is what’s called “proof of income,” which can help you calculate how much your parents got paid per year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For example, let’s say your dad cleans houses and charges $100 per house. Based on the information he shares, you estimate that he can usually clean 10 houses a week. That approximates that he’s earning roughly $4,000 a month. Multiply that by 12 months, and you get an estimated $48,000 per year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>You may have to get crafty to help your parents organize this information, Ferro said. “Whether it’s creating an Excel sheet, a Google folder or scanning something — taking a picture, a receipt or anything that shows income in any kind of way and storing it in a way that’s going to be accessible to you,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Helping your parents create a digital record of their earnings will also help you in the future when you have to fill out FAFSA again every year you’re in college. This will be especially important if you go to a school far away from home and no longer have easy access to physical receipts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While you’re doing this, remember to contact a financial aid officer from any of the schools you’re applying to, who can advise your family on how to best input this information into FAFSA. They may ask you to share additional documents, like a letter from an employer or potentially filing a 1040 form with the data you’ve gathered.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“All in all, we ask for information that you can put in as accurately as possible,” said Sonia Jethani, the director of the financial aid office at California State University, East Bay.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11968635\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11968635\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2023/11/pexels-keira-burton-6147077.jpg\" alt=\"Three young people walk together on what looks like a city street, dressed warmly and smiling at each other.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/11/pexels-keira-burton-6147077.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/11/pexels-keira-burton-6147077-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/11/pexels-keira-burton-6147077-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/11/pexels-keira-burton-6147077-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/11/pexels-keira-burton-6147077-1536x1024.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">How can you work with your family to accurately complete your FAFSA? \u003ccite>(Keira Burton/Pexels)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003ch2>What else should I know about FAFSA in 2024?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>The California Student Aid Commission’s Michael Lemus said students can use the \u003ca href=\"https://www.csac.ca.gov/students\">California Student Commission\u003c/a> as a resource for financial aid questions.
