2023-2024 VERIFICATION OF FAFSA
Why do I have to complete the Verification process?
Every year the U. S. Department of Education selects a percentage of Free Applications for Federal Student Aid (FAFSAs) for an accuracy check called Verification. If your application is selected for Verification, you will need to submit certain information to allow your FAFSA to be checked for accuracy before any Federal Student Aid can be offered.
What do I do next?
KHEAA completes the Verification process for the University of Montevallo (UM). If you are selected for Verification, you will receive an email notification from UM and KHEAA on how to proceed. Much of the information can be submitted electronically to KHEAA, making the process easier and more convenient for students and parents.
For questions regarding Verification, you may contact KHEAA at 1-855-272-8771.
What am I required to do during the Verification process?
- Go to MyKHEAA.com.
- “Sign In” with the student’s My KHEAA ID and password or “Register” if you are a first-time user. Parents of dependent students must also “Register” an account at MyKHEAA.com.
- After signing in, click on “KHEAA Verify,” then “Student Worksheet.”
- Complete and e-sign the Student Worksheet. Submit, along with any other Verification documents to KHEAA Verify. Parents of dependent students must also e-sign the Student Worksheet.
- Monitor your My KHEAA account weekly and submit any missing or additional requested information to KHEAA Verify as soon as possible. Your KHEAA Verification requirement will update to “Satisfied” on your Banner Self Service portal once your FAFSA Verification has been completed.
- If KHEAA Verify has to make corrections to your FAFSA, you and UM will receive a reprocessed FAFSA.
- A few days after Verification is complete and all other requirements are “Satisfied” on your Banner Self Service portal, you should receive a financial aid offer notification that will be sent to your UM email.
Where do I submit Verification documents?
Submit all Verification documents to KHEAA Verify rather than the Student Aid office at UM.
