What is FAFSA Verification?

The FAFSA Verification process double-checks and confirms the information you鈥檝e submitted on your FAFSA. Most students who are selected for verification will need to submit the verification worksheet and provide some additional documents.  It鈥檚 important to turn in your verification as quickly as you can, 有料盒子视频 can only offer your financial aid, once the verification is complete. 

Once we have the verification worksheet and your documents, we'll compare what you submitted on your FAFSA and make any corrections. Verifications that don鈥檛 need any further corrections or follow-up take 3鈥5&苍产蝉辫; business days to process. If your documentation needs to be corrected or needs further follow-up, the process can take 7鈥10 business days from the time you submit all required documents.
