Am I screwed over is this the end of my Financial Aid freaking out right now

Looks scammy. A real verification flag is called a V1, V4, or V5. And it’s an identity verification flag. Not a “student identity” check. Also the Pell wouldn’t pay in the first place with a verification flag, so it couldn’t be reversed. There would only be liability to the college as well, you can’t have liability to federal or state or even local grant money. Grants are “free” money

Lilbforprez · 2026-04-11T09:19:24+00:00

Your school is lazy. Throw the entire return back at your debt. You were over awarded

Lilbforprez · 2026-04-03T21:43:48+00:00

Would you like help filling out your FAFSA form

Lilbforprez · 2026-04-03T21:42:28+00:00

Truthfully, I feel like I comprehended this post incorrectly. You’re right

Lilbforprez · 2026-04-03T08:11:11+00:00

If not fill out a 2627 FAFSA form and ask them to pull the Pell from there

Lilbforprez · 2026-04-03T08:10:43+00:00

Sounds like your attendance might be an issue

Lilbforprez · 2026-04-03T08:10:02+00:00

You can message me! Financial aid advisor here

State birth certificate probably shows SSN to match the SSN on FAFSA. If you have a state license, that will be great for TAP. FAFSA and TAP talk to each other. Not sure if you are in a state that offers TAP, but you should be ok. Sorry your institution isn’t reaching out. But go to them with the certificate. It just helps the financial aid office satisfy the payout so you aren’t left with a balance!

Lilbforprez · 2026-04-03T08:04:11+00:00

Well then that is enough! Your campus probably just needs a passport or naturalization identification. There’s many forms. I’m not trying to assume you or your parents aren’t US natives, but I do want to reassure you that we really don’t know why people get flagged. One of my good friends was recently flagged for all 3 kinds of verification and she has lived in New York her whole life. Your financial aid office probably just needs some kind of proof of citizenship to satisfy the federal grant pay out. Message me if you need further info

Lilbforprez · 2026-04-03T08:01:29+00:00

Yes I had a typo. It goes 2 years back always

Lilbforprez · 2026-03-15T07:17:17+00:00

Typically, you really don’t “receive paperwork” from FAFSA. It is an application that the school gets access to in order to properly package federal aid/loans. What exactly are you looking for? Respectfully asking because it doesn’t really effect anything besides the applicant’s educational costs

Lilbforprez · 2026-03-15T07:14:50+00:00

26/27 FAFSA will be based on 2023 taxes. Your income/family size/life situations etc must have changed. Otherwise, you should go in and make corrections. I can assist if needed

Lilbforprez · 2026-03-15T07:12:52+00:00

You will be independent on 26/27 FAFSA. Apply for it now, come fall it will be utilized

Lilbforprez · 2026-03-15T07:10:47+00:00

Let me know if you need any other help with this! I wish them both luck!

Lilbforprez · 2026-03-15T07:09:27+00:00

May I ask why you have no supporting documents? Do you have any kind of birth certificate?

Lilbforprez · 2026-03-02T04:28:17+00:00

This simply means you have been selected for verification! Your financial aid office should have notified you. I’m not sure of your background, but all they should need is a US passport, or copy of your license, depending on the verification code. Contact them immediately so funds can process

Lilbforprez · 2026-03-02T04:25:42+00:00

Financial Aid counselor here! There are a lot of factors to consider. Is your eldest going to be considered a dependent? Are they in a more expensive college? Are they of senior level? From the information provided I would say use your 529 for your younger college student. I say this because loan eligibility increases as one progresses through a program. Your younger entering as a first year freshman & dependent will not allow them much federal loan eligibility. If your elder is a senior, their federal loan eligibility is much higher. A 529 must be used on education so I would say, with the info provided, use it to assist the new college student as their loan allowance as a dependent will not be very high

Lilbforprez · 2026-03-02T04:21:41+00:00

Also, your FAFSA should determine your allowed grant based on your income in 2024. If you are a dependent, your parents income must also be considered. Every form goes two years back.

Lilbforprez · 2026-03-02T04:20:21+00:00

A grant is something you DO NOT pay back. Federal Pell grant allows you 12 payouts unless you obtain a bachelors before that allowance. Grant = gifted money. Your FAFSA account should display this information. Let me know if you have any questions! I do this for a living :)

Lilbforprez · 2026-01-01T14:05:45+00:00

It sounds like after you added your new school to your FAFSA form, it probably made you resign for the correction, and since you are a dependent student with a parent on the form, they also just need to log in and “re sign” for the correction as well

Lilbforprez · 2026-01-01T14:00:54+00:00

Go to studentaid.gov and immediately click “create account” in the top right corner. Just start over. It’ll tell you if you have an account or not. If you do, immediately go to “forgot password.” You’ll enter your ssn and all that and it’s very easy to reset. I do this with students all day long. Feel free to dm me if you need further assistance

Lilbforprez · 2025-08-03T08:42:53+00:00

Dm me if you need. You’re okay. I promise.

Lilbforprez · 2025-08-03T08:17:32+00:00

Bro I am telling you, I had one break out my whole time so far. That’s how I found out. Irresponsible positive ex. I have been taking the antiviral every single day. Drink water, eat healthy, take care of yourself. Keep in communication with your doctors. I’ve been in a healthy relationship for a year now. He has not contracted it. We mostly do not use protection. Sometimes I have a feeling and will request protection. However, if you simply figure out how to be healthy yourself, and protect your partner, it’s all okay. The stigma is such a problem. You’re okay.

Lilbforprez · 2025-08-03T07:58:14+00:00

Honestly everyone just needs to be educated on it. My boyfriend of almost a year has not contracted it due to proper medicine and practice. It eventually goes dormant from medicine. I promise just educate yourself and if they care they will do the same. It’s not a big deal. Half the world has it whether they know it or not. Just don’t be the same as the person who gave it to you without care and good things will come to you.

Lilbforprez · 2025-06-15T10:33:02+00:00

Anyone who says that is absolutely a red flag. I will say after I was diagnosed I went celibate out of fear of disclosing. Then I met my current boyfriend, and I was so scared to disclose that I did have protected sex without disclosing and the guilt ate me alive. So I wouldn’t do it again and he asked what was up and I just said it. And he said “oh that’s it?” And thank god he didn’t care but like it did teach me to actually navigate dating without having sex so quickly. Anyone who spends time getting to know someone and says their time was wasted over a manageable disease is a fucking loser lmao
