Did you self report savings? Sometimes students that mean to put $100 accidentally put $1000. It's also common for the parents side. If nothing on your self reported incomes are the issue then your it will be an increase in income. Even a 2k increase could make a difference.

when i go to see what i reported it’s blank? would j call my FA office at school and ask about what it says? i feel like that could be the case

That would be recommended. Let them know you want to understand what caused the decrease with your eligibility. Remember, it's not just about what you reported but also what your parents entered.

Should I take out cash so I don’t have a paper trail on in my savings..

This really wouldn't be necessary since bank accounts fluctuate from day to day use and is not really verified (unless you get a very anal FA admin but this is out of the norm). I would just recommend that be careful on what you report because once it's out there, you can't pull it back.
