Change the Verification Status Code
You can override the configured U.S. Department of Education (ED) ISIR Verification Status Code.
Verification Status Code | Description |
---|---|
V |
The student completed Verification. This includes students selected by the Central Processing System (CPS) and by your school using your own criteria. |
W |
The student is selected for Verification, and you chose to pay a first disbursement of Pell Grant without Documentation. This code must be updated once Verification is complete, or ED will reduce the Pell Grant to zero in the Common Origination and Disbursement (COD) system. |
S |
CPS selected the student for Verification, but you didn't verify then because they satisfied a Verification exclusion other than the post-enrollment exclusion. |
blank |
Report a blank if you haven't performed Verification for other

Tips and Considerations
-
Once the Verification Status Code has been manually overridden, it can only be updated manually for the remainder of that Award Year.
-
After manually overriding the Verification Status Code, you must manually re-trigger originations to communicate the new value to CPS.
-
The Effective Date configured in the ISIR Verification Codes configuration worksheet should be based on your institution's policy of when you began waiving their verification requirements.
