Verification Worksheet
Federal Student Aid Programs
Your application is selected for a review called “Verification.” In this process, WVC will be comparing information from your application
with your (and your spouse’s, if applicable) 2018 Federal tax information, W-2 forms or other financial documents. Federal regulations
give our office the right to request this information before awarding financial aid. If there are differences between your application
information and your financial documents, WVC will make corrections electronically to have your information reprocessed. To avoid
delays in processing your financial aid, please return verification items as soon as possible.
Wenatchee Valley College must review the requested information, under the financial aid program rules (CFR Title 34, Part 668).
WARNING: If you purposely give false or misleading information on this worksheet, you may be fined, sentenced to jail, or both.
