Verification information
What is verification and why was I selected?
Verification is the process by which certain required information on the FAFSA is reviewed for accuracy
and completeness.
Students are selected for verification for one of the following reasons:
The Department of Education Central Processing System found inconsistencies and/or potential
errors in the student’s FAFSA
Random selection
School selection
Steps to complete verification:
Complete all required sections of this worksheet, sign it, and send the completed worksheet along
with any supporting documentation to the Office of Student Financial Aid.
The Office of Student Financial Aid will notify you via your Edison email account if there is additional
documentation needed or any other questions to be answered.
The Office of Student Financial Aid cannot process your financial aid package and
determine your aid eligibility until verification has been completed, so it is imperative that
you provide the required documents as soon as possible.

The best way to verify income is by using the IRS Data Retrieval Tool (IRS DRT) that is part of FAFSA

changed by the FAFSA filer.
