The U.S. Department of Education created the Verification
Process to confirm the accuracy of information submitted on the
FAFSA. Your SAR may indicate your application was selected for
Verification or you may be notified by the Office of Financial
Aid that you were selected for verification. If you are selected
for verification, you are required to complete a Verification
Worksheet and provide us tax forms. You should only provide
tax documents if we request them.
At a minimum, we will ask you to verify the following:
Adjusted Gross Income, federal income taxes paid, untaxed
income, household size, and number of family members in college.
Complete and sign the Worksheet and submit copies of all
requested signed federal income tax returns.
As part of the Verification Process, it may become necessary
for you to submit additional information. You should promptly
submit the requested information to us. If discrepancies are
noted between the information submitted on your FAFSA and the
Verification documents, we will electronically transmit the
corrected information to the U.S. Department. of Education
Central Processing System (CPS).
We
will contact you if we need additional information to process
your application for student financial aid. Please respond
promptly to prevent delays in processing your application for
aid.
We cannot determine your aid eligibility until the
Verification Process is complete.
You may view the documents required for your verification on
your Wingspan
account.
