A process that
the US Department of Education requires schools to use
to verify the information reported on the FAFSA of
selected applicants. The US Department of
Education selects a group of applications because
certain FAFSA information appears inconsistent; and
others are selected at random.
If your application is selected for verification, you
must give our office the required documentation
to show that the FAFSA information is accurate.
Independent Students:
- Submit your (and your spouse's, if you are
married) financial documents (signed Federal
tax forms, W-2 forms, etc.)
Acceptable
Federal Tax Forms include:
- Complete and sign the
Independent Institutional Verification
Worksheet (IVF-I)
- Submit the completed IVF-I, financial documents
and any other documents required to our office
Dependent Students:
- Submit your and your parents' financial
documents (signed Federal tax forms, W-2
forms, etc.)
Acceptable
Federal Tax Forms include:
- Complete and sign the
Dependent Institutional Verification
Worksheet (IVF-D)
- Submit the completed IVF-D, financial documents
and any other documents required to our office
Your school must review the requested
information, under the financial aid program rules
(34 CFR, Part 668). You may be required to
submit additional documentation after the initial
verification process. You must complete the
verification process or you will not receive financial
aid assistance. If you did not retain copies of your
Federal Tax Forms, you will need to request this
information from the IRS at 1-800-829-1040.
If
there are differences between your FAFSA information
and your IVF and financial documents, corrections
will be electronically made to your FAFSA for
reprocessing.
