6Criteria for dependent students: Standard Verification Tracking Group (DepV1)

The V1 verification tracking group is the Standard Verification Group. Dependent students in this group must verify information if their parents are tax filers.

If parents are tax filers:

  • Adjusted gross income
  • Income earned from work
  • US Income tax paid
  • Untaxed portions of IRA distributions
  • Untaxed portions of pensions
  • IRA deductions and payments
  • Tax-exempt interest income
  • Education credits
  • Foreign income exempt from federal taxation
  • Family size

If parents aren't tax filers:

  • Income earned from work
  • Family size
Note: Students with ISIRs that have any one of these Incarcerated Applicant flag values aren't required to complete standard verification requirements (V1):
  • 1 (Correctional Facility Address file)
  • 2 (Received via P.O. Box at IDC)
  • 3 (Incarcerated Applicant Flag set in FAA Access)

Baseline configuration has been updated so that no documents are requested for this population, and they automatically clear Standard (V1) verification.
