2024-2025 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.

ED selects students for verification and indicates so by adding the appropriate FAFSA Submission Summary (FSS) Comment Code (also known as a C-Code) to the ISIR:

Ind (C-Code 299) - student independent from parents.
Dep (C-Code 298) - student dependent upon parents.

Also, ED assigns selected students to one of three Verification Tracking Groups:

V1 - Standard Verification Tracking Group.
V4 - Custom Verification Tracking Group.
V5 - Aggregate Verification Tracking Group.

This topic groups the Verification scenarios into 6 areas based on dependency and Verification Tracking Groups:

Independent Students: Standard Verification Tracking Group (IndV1)
Independent Students: Custom Verification Tracking Group (IndV4)
Independent Students: Aggregate Verification Tracking Group (IndV5)
Dependent Students: Standard Verification Tracking Group (DepV1)
Dependent Students: Standard Verification Tracking Group (DepV4)
Dependent Students: Standard Verification Tracking Group (DepV5)

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.

Note: This topic often refers to documents being Acceptable. This refers to the actual system status of the requested document.

For additional information about Verification, refer to the Application and Verification Guide on the ED website.

Criteria for Independent Students: Standard Verification Tracking Group (IndV1)

The V1 Verification Tracking Group is the Standard Verification Group. Students in this group must verify this information:

If they are tax filers:
- adjusted gross income.
- income earned from work
- U.S. income tax paid.
- untaxed portions of IRA distributions.
- untaxed portions of pensions.
