Get 2012-2013 Verification Of Family Information For Dependent Student

Your dependency status has nothing to do with whether your parent claims you on their tax return. In addition, if the FAFSA determines that you are a dependent undergraduate student, it does not matter which parent claims you on their taxes.

If both parents provided an equal amount of financial support or if they don't support you financially, the parent with the greater income and assets is the contributor and must provide their information. If your parent is widowed, that parent is the contributor and must provide their information.

The Verification Worksheet - Dependent form is a form that is requested of a dependent student selected for FAFSA Verification. The form requires information from both parents and students to verify some of the information provided on the student's Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA).

Colleges and career schools use the FAFSA form to determine how much financial aid you're eligible to receive, which could include grants, scholarships, work-study funds, and loans. You must apply for aid every year, but with the right information in hand, it's easy.

If your parents are living and legally married to each other, answer the questions about both of them. If your parents are living together and are not married, answer the questions about both of them. If your parent is widowed or was never married, answer the questions about that parent.

If your parents are not married to each other and live together, both of your parents are contributors. If your parents are divorced, separated, or never married, and don't live together, the parent who provided more financial support during the last 12 months is the contributor.

Annual child support received (if applicable) Current assets (if applicable) Signature. Name, date of birth, Social Security number (SSN), address (if the parent spouse or partner doesn't have an SSN), and email for the Parent Spouse or Partner Contributor (if applicable)
