VERIFICATION WORKSHEET
V1I_20 Rev. 3/13/19
Time
Your 2019-2020 Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA)/California Dream Application was selected for review in a
process called verification. The law requires that before awarding Financial Aid, we may ask you to confirm the information you and
your parents reported on your FAFSA/California Dream Application. To verify that you provided correct information the financial aid
administrator at your school will compare your FAFSA/California Dream Application with the information on this worksheet and with
any other required documents. If there are differences, your FAFSA/California Dream Application information may need to be
corrected. You and at least one parent must complete and sign this worksheet, attach any required documents, and submit the form
and other required documents to the financial aid administrator at your school. Solano Community College’s Office of Financial Aid
may ask for additional information. If you have questions about verification, contact SCC’s Financial Aid Office as soon as possible
so that your financial aid will not be delayed.

Financial Aid Verification Frequently Asked Questions
Important Note: If the student filed, or will file, an amended
2017 IRS tax return, the student must contact the financial aid
administrator before completing this section.
Instructions: Complete this section if the student filed or will file
a 2017 IRS income tax return. The best way to verify income is
by using the IRS Data Retrieval Tool (IRS DRT) on FAFSA on
the Web at FAFSA.gov. In most cases, no further
documentation is needed to verify 2017 income information that
was transferred into the student’s FAFSA using the IRS DRT if
that information was not changed by the FAFSA filer.
Check the box that applies:
The student has used the IRS Data Retrieval Tool in
FAFSA on the Web to retrieve and transfer 2017 IRS
income information into the student’s FAFSA, either on
the initial FAFSA or when making a correction to the
FAFSA (does not apply to Dream Act Applicants).
The student is unable or chooses not to use the IRS
Data Retrieval Tool and the student’s 2017 IRS tax
