2015-2016 Independent Verification Worksheet (V1)
Your FAFSA was selected for review in a process called
fdfdfdfdf
“Verification.”
In this process Baton Rouge Community College is
required to compare information from your FAFSA with other
documentation such as an official IRS Tax Return Transcript for
you and your spouse(s). If you and/or your spouse (s) were not
required to file a federal tax return you must submit copies of any
W-2 forms or earnings statements. The law says we have a right to
ask you for this information before awarding federal aid. If there
are differences between your FAFSA and your financial documents
we may need to send corrections electronically to have your
information reprocessed.
