DEPENDENT VERIFICATION WORKSHEET (V1)
2019 2020
STANDARD VERIFICATION
Your application for financial aid was selected for review in a process called “Verification”. Please submit the documentation as soon as
possible but no later than 120 days after your last day of enrollment, or by September 2020, whichever occurs first. No funds will be
disbursed until the verification process is completed. Failure to complete the verification process by the deadline will result in your
ineligibility for Title IV funds for the award year. The law states we have the right to ask you for this information before awarding any
federal aid. If there are differences between the information supplied on your federal application and your financial documents, we will
need to correct this information. We must review the required information under the financial aid program rules (34 CFR, Part 668).
The Department of Education has requested that the institution v erify certain items for a student selected for this rev iew. All
verification items listed on this worksheet must be verified to determine Title IV eligibility.
To review the status of your awards, please visit your Student Portal at http://gcuportal.gcu.edu/.
All fields are required to be completed. If you have any questions, please contact your GCU Student Services Counselor (SSC).

Instructions: The best way to verify income is by using the IRS Data Retrieval Tool that is part of FAFSA on the Web. If you have not already used
the tool, go to FAFSA.gov, log into your FAFSA record, select “Make FAFSA Corrections,” and navigate to the Financial Information section of the
form. From there, follow the instructions to determine if you are eligible to use the IRS Data Retrieval Tool to transfer 2017 IRS income tax
information into your FAFSA.

I have used the IRS Data Retrieval Tool in FAFSA on the Web to retrieve and transfer 2017 IRS income information into my 2019-2020 FAFSA,

verification process.
I am unable or choose not to use the IRS Data Retrieval Tool in FAFSA on the Web, and will submit to the school a 2017 IRS Tax Return
Transcript or, if I'm unable to obtain a transcript, a signed paper copy of the 2017 IRS tax return that was submitted to the IRS. You may
find the transcript at https://www.irs.gov/individuals/get-transcript and then click “Get Transcript Online.” You must have access to a valid
email address, a text-enabled mobile phone in your name, and specific financial account numbers (such as a credit card number or an
