V is for Verification
What is verification?
Every year, the Department of Education selects students for verification. This process requires La Salle University to verify that the information on the FAFSA is accurate. To perform this review, you will be asked to submit certain documentation to the Office of Student Financial Services, such as tax returns, independent or dependent verification worksheets and other information.
How do I know if I have been selected?
When you receive your Student Aid Report from the Federal Processor, it will indicate that you have been selected for verification. You will also receive a letter from LaSalle that will provide information on the documentation that you need to submit to the Office of Student Financial Services.
How can Brother Luwis help me in this process?
Students have access to the La Salle University Web Information System. (MyLaSalle). By loging in, you can see what documentation you need to submit. For example, if a student is selected for verification, Brother Luwis will indicate that you need to submit a student tax return, a parent tax return and a dependent verification worksheet. After you submit these documents to the Office of Student Financial Services, you can log onto Brother Luwis to insure that these documents have been logged in as received.
Finally, each student who is selected for verification has a verification-tracking requirement posted. Once all the documentation is reviewed, the verification-tracking requirement will appear as satisfied.
How can I get a verification worksheet?
You can print a dependent or independent verification worksheet and verification ABC worksheet from the Student Financial Services forms section on the web.
I do not have a copy of my income tax return. What should I do?
Call the IRS at 1-800-829-1040 and ask for tax summary.
What happens if I do not submit this documentation?
No financial aid will be awarded nor credited to your bill and you must make payment arrangements.
My parents filed for an extension for their tax return. Can an exception be made?
Unfortunately, Federal Aid Regulations do not permit any exceptions in this area.
I have submitted my information. What happens next?
If all the information that you submitted on the FAFSA is accurate, the verification process will have no impact on your financial aid. If the information was inaccurate, then the correct information will be used in the calculation of your eligibility for financial aid. |
