About two weeks ago, I turned in my dependent verification forms. While they were turned in later than preferred (4/10), I still turned them in before the final deadline 4/30. The form has been submitted online and mailed, but it’s still listed under my financial aid “To Do” list on the CSUN portal. What should I do? Should I call the financial aid office?
Call them as soon as they open. Mine still says “recieved” which they told me means it hasn’t been reviewed yet II turned it in on 4/2).
They said they’d take up to 9 weeks to get it done 
It says it will take up to 9 weeks to review. Since I already turned the form in, it should say “received” not “initiated” on my “To Do” List.
I do this for a school. If you submitted close to a deadline, the person/people processing the zillion forms is probably getting to it through an ocean of other students’ forms. That’s why they warn you it won’t be instant (up to 9 weeks).
A ‘preferred deadline’ is not really a deadline unless they list a consequence. As long as the info on the forms matches what you entered on your 2018-2019 FAFSA, all should go well. If we get to 7/1, and the forms still show as ‘incomplete’, I’d call.
