Inaccurate SAI

Hello,

I'm coming on here because I don't know where else to go for answers.

SO I just got my FAFSA submission summary back, and it's telling me that my SAI is literally around 11000.

I'm going into my third year of college, and in the previous years, my SAI has been pretty low. I was eligible for the maximum Pell grant my freshman year of college. What's really confusing me about this is that my parents' income has quite literally lowered since then. We filed taxes late this year, so I initially thought it might be a mistake, but once I saw I was ineligible for a Pell grant, I was concerned. I rely heavily on Pell grants and don't want to take out additional loans for the next 2/3 years. I also transferred to a 4-year institution this past 25/26 year, and I had to fight tooth and nail with the financial aid office here to give me my Pell grant. I keep checking FAFSA to see if a mistake was made but nothing has changed.

I don't really know what to do at this point. If anyone could provide any insight, that would be great.
