<p>I was chosen for verification and the form has a space for both my mom and dad's info. They are separated and I used my mom's info for the FAFSA. My dad doesn't provide for us.</p>
<p>So my question is: Do I need to put both my parent's info in the verification form, or only my mom's info?</p>
<p>Thanks in advance! :]</p>
<p>FAFSA only asks for custodial parent, but the verification form is different according to some sources. In this case, you would put both your parents down as existing and receive the EFC and aid packages again if applicable.</p>
<p>I hope Kelsmom pipes in…or Swimcatsmom. I believe the verification form has a spot for everything…but I also think you only put what applies in your situation. Your NCP was not even MENTIONED on the FAFSA. Why would this need to be verified? I’m not an expert in this area but it makes no sense to me.</p>
<p>What if you had a parent who was dead? That blank would still be on the verification form…but clearly you would NOT fill it in.</p>
<p>Since verification is something that the colleges collect, why not call the finaid office at your school and ASK.</p>
<p>Verification is something that the Federal Government makes them do. They have to verify a random amount of students each annum. The forms aren’t crafted to each students issue so that they might have information on the form that you don’t need to fill out in your case.</p>
<p>Colleges are required to verify a certain number of FAFSA forms. As noted…by me and again above…the forms are not personalized. Best to call the school to ask them. I’m sure you are not the first person who has asked this question.</p>
<p>Doesn’t the form just have both parents mentioned because it’s a “one size fits all” form?</p>
<p>So, in this child’s case, only the mom’s info would be included on this verify form.</p>
<p>I am a single parent, filing HOH. When my D was verified by 3 schools last year, we only sent in my docs and info. No one questioned where the ex’s info was as he is not the custodial parent. The only time I can think of that one would send in both parents info is if they are filing jointly (ie. separated but not divorced) and then the school would separate out the custodial parent’s info for verification. Just send in the docs requested to verify the FAFSA filing you made - do not send in extra info that isn’t needed!</p>
