Verification
Verification is the process of confirming information reported by you and your parents or spouse on the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) is accurate. Each year approximately 30% of student applicants nationwide are randomly selected by the Federal Central Processing System for verification. Applicants selected for review will need to complete verification before financial aid eligibility may be reviewed.
What do I need to Submit?
- A completed Verification worksheet, either dependent or independent depending upon FAFSA filing status.
- A signed copy of your (and your spouse or parents, if applicable) 2008 federal tax return, including all scheudles.
- Copies of your (and your spouse or parents, if applicable) 2008 w-2s.
- Additional documentation upon request.
What Happens to my Information?
The required forms and documents you submitted for verification will be compared to the information reported on your 2009-2010 Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). If the provided information does not match what is shown on your FAFSA, we will submit changes to the FAFSA processor. After all changes are made to your FAFSA data, Indiana University East will review your eligibility for financial aid.
