验证

验证过程

To allow for additional processing that may be required by the Department of Education (ED), we highly recommend that you complete your FAFSA no later than 5月1日 for the Fall semester and no later than 10月1日 for the spring semester.

验证

Once the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) has been completed, the information is processed by the Department of Education and the results are sent to all colleges listed on the FAFSA as well as to the student. Generally, ED is checking the applicant's eligibility requirements as well as looking for items that may be incorrect based on pre-determined factors.

In some cases, the Department of Education may select a file for a process called verification. If your FAFSA is selected, you will be required to submit signed copies of certain financial documents via Collin's 金融援助 Portal.

The verification process requires that information from the student's FAFSA application be compared with copies of the student's, spouse's (if married) and parent's (if dependent) federal tax information, or other financial documents. In addition to the tax documents, the school may require you to submit other documentation, information, or clarification to ensure accuracy of the FAFSA data. 通知 of any outstanding requirements is sent to students via e-mail (the e-mail account the student entered on the FAFSA).

Once the required document or documents are submitted, the verification processing staff will compare the information on the FAFSA with the information on the financial documents and will make any adjustments or corrections as necessary. If submission of the corrections is necessary (不 all differences require submission), t财务援助人员将代表学生以电子方式提交更改 to the Department of Education so eligibility can be recalculated. Once the adjustment is reprocessed, the college will receive a new FAFSA with the corrected results which will be used to package the student's financial aid award.

通知

If corrections are submitted, the 不ification will be posted in the college's system which the student can view via their Workday account. We ask students 不 to make any corrections once verification documentation has been submitted to the 金融援助 Office, since this can 显著 delay the process.

注意: Whenever the college receives a flagged FAFSA form, whether for verification or any other issue, a missing information e-mail or letter is sent to the student requesting the information needed to complete the student's file. In addition, students can view any requirements in their Workday account. No further action will be taken on the student's file until all documentation or information requested is received.

Overawards

It is standard Collin procedure 不 to award any financial assistance until verification is completed.

最后期限

All required documents should be submitted via the financial aid processing portal as soon as possible after being 不ified of the requirement. Delays in submitting all required documents will cause a delay in awarding of financial aid. Also, it could result in the student needing to pay all of or part of their bill from their own resources (i.e., out-of-pocket) until awarding takes place.

Students are expected to apply for aid and complete the verification process before the term has ended. Otherwise, the student is in jeopardy of 不 receiving any federal aid for their period of enrollment. A Pell Grant applicant must complete the entire process before August 1 or 120 days after the last day of the student's enrollment whichever is earlier. If the process is 不 completed the student is 不 eligible for Pell for that award year.

新的验证要求

The Department of Education instituted some changes to the verification process beginning with the 2024-2025 award year.

Since the FAFSA will now access IRS data through the FAFSA's automatated process called the 金融援助 Direct Data Exchange (FA-DDX)*, we often do 不 need to verify the tax information. However, if chosen for verification, a student and/or parent or spouse may still have to submit other documentation or clarify certain FAFSA information. Occasionally, a student chosen for verification must simply come into the financial aid office and sign a Statement of Educational Purpose and in some cases, show us an unexpired, government-issued photo ID. What a student is required to submit will depend on how the FAFSA is flagged by the Dept. of Education.

*The FA-DDX process depends on if the parties involved (student and/or parents or spouse) approve and consent for the retrieval of IRS information. If any of the required parties (called "contributors") refuses consent, the student 没有资格获得联邦学生资助。

这意味着什么？

For tax-filers who approve and consent for the automatic transfer of tax data, there should be no requirement to see a tax document to verify it. However, as indicated above, they may still have to provide documentation for other items on the FAFSA or to clarify answers/information on the FAFSA.

However, for non-tax filers who entered their income information manually, proof of that income will be required. This may include a tax document (for example, from a foreign tax entity), Wage and Tax Statements (W2's), or other acceptable documentation.

有特殊情况的报税人

The 金融援助 Direct Data Exchange tool may 不 be available for the applicant (or parents) in the following circumstances:

A joint tax return was filed for the tax year, but the student or the student's parents have filed the FAFSA with a marital status of separated, divorced or widowed.
If the tax filer is married to someone other than the individual on the joint tax return.
If the parent or student was 不 married in the tax year, but is married at the time the FAFSA is filed. The current spouse's income 必须 reported on the FAFSA.

如果提交了修改后的纳税申报表。 (The IRS Data Retrieval too will retrieve the original return information; but will 不 include the amended information.)
如果纳税申报表是在提交FAFSA前不到两周提交的。
