Low/No Income Verification Worksheet - Independent Students
The income reported on your 2018-2019 FAFSA appears to be too low to meet basic living expenses. While this may be due to the
exclusion of certain types of income from the FAFSA, federal law states that we have the right to confirm the information that was
reported before awarding and/or disbursing federal student aid. The Financial Aid Office will compare the information reported on the
FAFSA for you and your spouse (if married) with the information reported on this worksheet and any other required documentation.
This worksheet may be requested in addition to other verification forms required by the U.S. Department of Education. *Your eligibility
for financial aid cannot be determined until the verification process has been completed.

INSTRUCTIONS: Complete this worksheet, attach any required documentation, sign, and submit the completed package to
the WCC Financial Aid Office. If you were married on the day you signed and submitted your FAFSA, you are required to include
information for your spouse. If there are any discrepancies between the information reported on your FAFSA and the documents
submitted to our office, your signature on this form authorizes our office to make the appropriate corrections to your FAFSA.
**For FAFSA purposes, your household includes you, your spouse (if you were married on the day you signed and submitted the
FAFSA), and your or your spouse’s children IF you or your spouse will provide more than half of their support between July 1, 2018 and
June 30, 2019, even if the children do not live with you and your spouse. Include other people ONLY if they now live with you AND you
or your spouse provide more than half of their support AND will continue to provide more than half of their support between July 1, 2018
and June 30, 2019. IMPORTANT: These guidelines apply to INDEPENDENT students only. (Dependent students should complete the
