Byu Financial Aid - You've been selected for verification

So you've been selected for verification. What exactly does that mean and how can you complete it as quickly and easily as possible? Verification is where you provide additional documentation to confirm that your FAFSA information is correct. If you are a dependent student your parents will also need to help out. You'll need to follow the instructions in your My Financial Center To Do's. Until your To Do's are completed, we cannot determine your eligibility for federal student aid. Each student selected for verification must complete the online verification form, which is easily accessed in My Financial Center. Federal tax information must also be submitted. The quickest and easiest way to do this is by returning to FAFSA.GOV and using the IRS Data Retrieval Tool. This tool pulls your data directly from the IRS to your FAFSA; saving you extra time. If you are not eligible to use the IRS Data Retrieval Tool or choose not to, you can always request a paper Tax Return Transcript from the IRS by following the instructions in your My Financial Center To Do's. The transcript normally takes five to ten business days to arrive and then you'll need to submit it to BYU. Other documents like your W-2s may also be needed. If so, My Financial Center will have all the details. That's it! Verification in a nutshell. When you know where to start, it's actually pretty easy. If you have any questions along the way, send us a message through My Financial Center. We'll reply as soon as we can. BYU Financial Aid Office... we're here to help.
