Verification is a process used to confirm information submitted on the  in order to ensure its accuracy. Any student who completes a FAFSA may be selected for verification by the FAFSA Processing System for the U.S. Department of Education (ED). Once you are selected for verification, please do not make changes to your FAFSA data. Send the requested documents to us and we will make any necessary changes.

ED uses data models to select students for further review. Selected students are assigned verification groups that determine the data elements each student has to verify. The list of items to verify will be different across selected students. 麻豆精品 must follow all federal verification requirements for any selected students. In addition to students selected by ED, 麻豆精品 selects a small number of students based on conflicting or inconsistent information or data that appears to have been submitted in error.

The data elements you may be asked to verify includes but is not limited to the IRS adjusted gross income and taxes paid, income earned from work (for non-tax filers), certain untaxed income items, household size, number in college, receipt of food stamps/SNAP benefit, child support paid and any other inconsistent or conflicting information.

If Selected For Verification

If you are selected for verification, the information you must provide, along with any necessary instructions, will be posted on your . You will receive an email from the Financial Aid and Scholarship Office anytime an item is posted to your "To Do" list. Several weeks after the next year’s FAFSA opens, 麻豆精品 loads FAFSA data received from ED into our student system and updates your To Do List. For initial FAFSAs for admitted and current students, this occurs most business days. FAFSA data received by 麻豆精品 before you apply for admission or are formally admitted to 麻豆精品 is held in a temporary file and loaded once your admission is complete. If your name, social security number or date of birth is different on the FAFSA than in the 麻豆精品 student system, we will review your records before processing.

If you make changes to FAFSA data, 麻豆精品 will receive a change file. That file may require additional review before it is processed, and your To Do List is updated. This generally occurs within 3 business days but may take longer during peak processing periods. If you make changes to your FAFSA after you have received a financial aid offer or disbursement, all future disbursements will be put on hold until verification is complete. If that verification results in a change to your aid eligibility, you will receive a new financial aid offer in about two weeks.

Verification Processing Time and Deadlines

If you are selected for verification, please submit all requested documentation as quickly as possible so that your aid application may be processed in a timely manner. Verification review will begin once all verification documents are received. While verification review is generally complete in three business days, during peak processing times, particularly late summer, verification review may take up to two weeks.

• You must complete verification to receive a financial aid offer and for financial aid to be disbursed to your student account.
• For all forms of federal aid, verification documents must be received in sufficient time to complete verification review. Although we will make every effort to serve you as quickly as possible, the verification, packaging and origination process could take up to two weeks. If verification is completed after the end of a term or your last date of attendance, we cannot guarantee that you will be able to receive any financial aid. .
• To receive a Pell Grant only, if you are a student otherwise eligible for Pell on your last day of attendance, you may submit verification documents within 120 days of your last day of attendance for an aid year.
• The State of Illinois Monetary Award Program, MAP Grant, also requires compliance with federal verification regulations. Each year the Illinois Student Assistance Commission (ISAC) establishes billing deadlines for both Fall and Spring. Students who submit verification documents after ISAC’s claim deadlines may lose any MAP Grant eligibility.

We are happy to provide an estimate of your financial aid eligibility based on unverified information upon request, as possible.

Verification requirements may be waived for students who are only eligible for Direct Unsubsidized Loans, private scholarships and/or forms of aid that do not require a FAFSA to establish eligibility.
