EFC (FAFSA) Verification?

<p>It says that my FAFSA form has been selected for "verification." (I'm guessing because it's at $0. What does taht mean- do I have to submit any kind of materials to anywher?</p>

<p>I got that too. I am not sure but i think that means if any of your schools ask you for any of your forms you will have to give it to them. Again, I am not sure but i am sure someone else here knows. I got an EFC of 1400</p>

<p>Colleges are required by the federal government to verify the information given on the FAFSA for consistency. Most schools ask for the W-2s and verification of information from the student and their family as standard practice. If the college needs additional information to complete the verification process they will contact you.</p>

<p>Most people with low EFC have that verification asterisk</p>

<p>My EFC was low. But I did not have the asterisk. What does that mean?</p>

<p>Nothing, because the school could ask for verification.</p>

<p>Usually the school will ask for:
A} Parent's tax return & W2s
B} Student's tax return & W2s
C} Fill out and return a school specific verification worksheet, restating some of your FAFSA answers (like the worksheets)</p>
