CUYAMACA COLLEGE
2020-2021 DEPENDENT STUDENT VERIFICATION WORKSHEET
Your 2020-2021 Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) was selected for review in a process called verification. The law
says that before awarding Federal Student Aid, we may ask you to confirm the information you reported on your FAFSA. To verify
that you provided correct information, the financial aid administrator at your school will compare your FAFSA with the information
on this worksheet and with any other required documents. If there are differences, your FAFSA information may need to be corrected.
What you should do:
Fill out all sections of this form, sign and return it to the Cuyamaca College Financial Aid Office by email.
Submit all other required documents to the Cuyamaca College Financial Aid Office.
Complete this process as soon as possible so that your financial aid will not be delayed.
If you have any questions about filling out this worksheet, talk to someone in the Financial Aid Office.
Section 1 - Family Information
List below the people in your parent(s) household, include:
Yourself
Your parent(s) (including a stepparent) even if you don’t live with your parent(s).
Your parent(s) other children if your parent(s) will provide more than half of their support from July 1, 2020, through
June 30, 2021, or if the other children would be required to provide parental information if they were completing a FAFSA for
the 2020-2021 academic year. Include children who meet either of these standards, even if they do not live with your parent(s).
Other people if they now live with your parent(s) and your parent(s) provide more than half of their support and will continue to
provide more than half of their support through June 30, 2021.
Shared living arrangement (i.e. roommate) is not the same as “support.”
Support means: currently providing more than half of all living expenses for that person because that person listed
has no means of self-support, or no one else is providing at least half of their support.
Also, write in the name of the college for any household member, excluding your parent(s) who will be attending college at least half-
time between July 1, 2020 and June 30, 2021, and will be enrolled in a degree, transfer or certificate program. If you need more
space, attach a separate page.
