Implications for verification of aid applications:

  • Appeals begin with the consideration of the data contained within the FAFSA application; therefore, if your application was not initially selected for the verification process it may be selected.
  • Selection for verification requires the submission of financial and household information to verify the accuracy of the FAFSA.
  • Verification may result in reduced need if the initial application was inaccurate; in this case, appeals may not result in additional aid.
