If your report has been selected for verification, page one of the SAR will have a message that states, "you will be asked by your school(s) to provide copies of certain financial documents." This means that you will be expected to provide supporting documentation for the information on your FAFSA such as signed copies of your 1040, W-2 and 1099 forms. Instructions on the SAR explain how to do this.
Verification is a process to confirm information you provided on the FAFSA. The US Department of Education selects some FAFSAs for verification. Others are selected by schools due to discrepancies in their data.
These are the main reasons for being selected:
- You were chosen randomly
- The FAFSA you submitted was incomplete
- Your FAFSA contains estimated information
- The data you provided on the FAFSA is inconsistent.
Verification ensures that the information students and parents report is accurate. Verification prevents ineligible students from receiving aid by reporting false information and ensures that eligible students receive all the aid for which they are qualified.
The sooner you verify your information, the sooner you'll be able to receive financial aid if you're eligible.
