Well, the saga continued, believe it or not.
A few days after the modified SAR hit my daughter’s school’s Fin Aid system, it picked up on the fact that her FAFSA had now been flagged for verification, so we had to submit additional forms, and an IRS return transcript. And of course, when you go to the IRS transcript site, it tells you its online system is down, so you must request it by mail!
It has now been a few weeks since we submitted this latest round of verification documents, and for now, the school’s online system seems to indicate they have everything they need.
This really has been like a game of whack-a-mole, and I am afraid the next mole that needs whacking will pop up unexpectedly soon!
