Verification is the process whereby counselors, to ensure accuracy of reporting, compare information on the FAFSA against federal income tax returns and other documentation. Students selected for verification will need to submit their and/or their parents' appropriate federal income tax returns before awards can be finalized. If discrepant information exists, awards will be revised.
Examples of special circumstances may include: 1) Adjustments to the Cost of Education Budget (e.g., private elementary or secondary school tuition, medical or dental expenses not covered by insurance, unusually high child care costs, unusually high auto repair expenses for the car used by the student to get to and from school, computer purchase for the student); and/or 2) Income/Asset Adjustments (due to recent unemployment of a family member, or other changes in the family's income or assets); and/or 3) Dependency Override (due to related abuse or abandonment of the student by the parents or guardians). Use of professional judgment is neither limited to the situations mentioned nor required in those situations. If you have a special circumstance, please provide documentation to your Financial Aid Counselor for review.

The California Domestic Partner Rights and Responsibilities Act of 2003 provides eligible students, who register with the State of California as a domestic partner, eligibility for California state student financial aid programs and aid programs of California public institutions. California's Secretary of State maintains an online registry of domestic partnerships at http://www.ss.ca.gov/dpregistry/. Students who are registered as domestic partners with the California Secretary of State on and after January 1, 2005, or dependent students whose custodial parent is registered as a domestic partner with the California Secretary of State on and after January 1, 2005, must contact the CSUB Office of Financial Aid & Scholarships (OFA&S) regarding additional information that is required in order to establish eligibility for state and institutional aid under the provisions of this state law.
