2023-2024 ISIR Document Request Rules and Code Clearing Logic
This is the 2023-2024 ISIR Document Request Rules and Code Clearing Logic.
Overview
A student's Institutional Student Information Record (ISIR) from the U.S. Department of Education (ED) is evaluated when received to determine if the student is selected for verification and to which Verification Group they have been assigned.
- Ind - C-Code 171 - student independent from parents.
- Dep - C-Code 170 - student dependent upon parents.
- V1 - Standard Verification Tracking Group.
- V4 - Custom Verification Tracking Group.
- V5 - Aggregate Verification Tracking Group.
The Verification Tracking Groups broadly determine what documents are required for a student to clear verification. Verification requirements are further refined within each Group based on dependency status, tax filing status, and other factors. Students may move from one Group to another during the course of verification. This topic describes the logic for all three Groups and the various scenarios under each Group.
Requests for any required documents are triggered based on the appropriate logic for the student. Upon receipt of all required documents, additional review of the student's ISIR and document data determines if any more documentation or manual review is required before clearing verification.
For additional information about Verification, refer to the Application and Verification Guide on the ED website.
2021 IRS Filing Requirements Income Thresholds
Part of determining verification requirements is knowing whether or not an applicant is required to file a tax return. These are these tax filing thresholds for Tax Year 2021 used in configuration workbook scripts:
IF your filing status is... | AND at the end of 2021 you were... | THEN file a return if your gross income was at least... |
---|---|---|
single | under 65 | $12,550 |
65 or older | $14,250 | |
head of household | under 65 | $18,800 |
65 or older | $20,500 | |
married, filing jointly | under 65 (both spouses) | $25,100 |
65 or older (one spouse) | $26,450 | |
65 or older (both spouses) | $27,800 | |
married, filing separately | any age | $5 |
qualifying widow(er) | under 65 | $25,100 |
65 or older | $26,450 |

Criteria for Dependent Students: Standard Verification Tracking Group (DepV1)
- 1 (Correctional Facility Address file),
- 2 (Received via P.O. Box at IDC), or
- 3 (Incarcerated Applicant Flag set in FAA Access)
For dependent students in the Standard Verification Tracking Group (V1), there are separate scenarios for student verification (Scenarios 1 - 5) and parent verification (Scenarios 6 - 9). Therefore, each dependent student is evaluated using two scenarios: one for student data and one for parent data.
Students and parents must verify the following:
- If they are tax filers:
- adjusted gross income.
- U.S. income tax paid.
- untaxed portions of IRA distributions and pensions.
- IRA deductions and payments.
- tax-exempt interest income.
- education credits.
- household size.
- number in college.
