Verification Procedures

Verification is the process established by the Department of Education to check the accuracy of aid applications. If you are selected for verification, you will need to complete the specific worksheet for the aid year requested and your dependency status.

The 2009-2010 Verification forms are for the 2009-2010 FAFSAs which cover Fall 2009-Summer 2010.

Dependent students must submit:

  • Dependent Verification Worksheet
  • Student's prior year federal tax return
  • Parent's prior year federal tax return
  • All W2's, 1099's and supporting schedules

Independent students must submit:

  • Independent Verification Worksheet
  • Student/Spouse prior year federal tax return
  • All W2's, 1099's and supporting schedules

After all of the questions on the form are completed, be sure to provide all required signature(s) and attach requested supporting documents such as tax returns. We will make any necessary corrections to your FAFSA. If additional information is required, we will contact you. For Georgia Tech students with OSCAR accounts, real-time information on these requirements is available at oscar.gatech.edu.

Please note: There are significant changes between the 2009-2010 FAFSA and the 2008-2009 FAFSA. Please pay attention to which forms you are using so that you do not fill out the incorrect form for the incorrect year.

You may fax your forms to us at 404.894.7412 or you may email a pdf version of your forms directly to the OSFA email account.
