[Pacheco, Caryn L.]

You are right!  Only the ones selected for verification get cleaned up!

Right but if they aren’t selected for verif, how are finding them? Ours will just go thru and get packaged unless I run a report to find them and institutionally select them. We catch the ones the govt selects for verif.

Jonna,

The way I was taught,  if they are remarried then we are suppose to ask for the new spouses tax info and W-2's and add it in with theirs on the FAFSA, so it looks like your not the only "bad school".😇

I'm finding many students that still struggle with the parent's marital status. I'm finding them by running a report of those that show divorced/separated but filed married joint or married separate returns.


I know this can happen, but when the divorce/separation date is 2005, I find that they answered the question based on the biological parents but the custodial is remarried. In most cases, I think it's an honest error but then the income questions only ask for one parent's income info so they usually qualify for more aid than they should.


I have 78 students on the report that I ran today. My question is, are any of you researching, institutionally selecting, or otherwise trying to resolve what I consider to be conflicting info? It's time consuming and of course, makes you the "bad school" if other schools don't resolve it, but I feel like it should be looked at to protect tax dollars for which these students are not eligible.


What do you think? no judgment...just asking. 😊
