Verification
Some FAFSAs are selected for a process called verification. If your FAFSA has been selected for verification, you are not alone!
- An estimated 30% of FAFSA filers are selected for the verification process. In this process, schools collect documentation from applicants to check the accuracy of FAFSA information. If chosen for verification, documents will be requested through the Financial Aid Portal, which can be accessed through mfa.umhb.edu.
Please do not submit any documents to our office that are not specifically requested.
