VERIFICATION WORKSHEET
I1
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, we will compare your FAFSA with the information on this institutional verification document
and with any other required documents. If there are differences, your FAFSA information may need to be corrected. You must
complete and sign this institutional verification document, attach any required documents, and submit the form and other required documents
to us. We may ask for additional information. If you have questions about verification, contact us as soon as possible so that your financial aid
will not be delayed.
Deadline: To determine your eligibility for federal and/or state funds, your verification documents must be received by our office no
later than August 16, 2021 or 120 days after your last date of enrollment, whichever comes first. Failure to do so by the stated
deadline will result in a loss of eligibility for the current academic year.

STUDENT AND SPOUSE (IF MARRIED) INCOME TO BE VERIFIED
1. TAX RETURN FILERS
Complete this section if the student and/or spouse (if married) filed or will file a 2018 income tax return(s). The
best way to verify income is by using the IRS Data Retrieval Tool (IRS DRT) that is part of FAFSA on the Web at www.studentaid.gov. In most
cases, no further documentation is needed to verify 2018 income information that was transferred into the student’s FAFSA using the IRS
DRT if that information was not changed.
Check the box that applies:
