That's why we need to expand access to it! Would love for non-filers to get their VONF through the IRS DRT. @nasfaa #MillennialMon

Q10: Were YOU required to submit additional information after completing the #FAFSA? What challenges did you face? #MillennialMon
A9. 2/2 Expand access to IRS DRT should decrease students flagged for #FAFSA verification-more can be done beyond Early FAFSA #MillennialMon

A9. 1/2 With Early FAFSA, more students should use IRS DRT, which automatically verifies their income data. #MillennialMon teapaw.org/YoungInvincible/status…

A9: 3/3 IRS data retrieval tool in #FAFSA helps, but some students can’t use it & verification is not limited to tax info #MillennialMon

A9. Starting with 2017-18, many more applicants should be able to use that process due to simplification efforts. #MillennialMon

Q8: Can students be selected for #FAFSA verification more than once? #MillennialMon
A7. This is why completing verification is important. Double check your student aid report, start early, and don't ignore it! #MillennialMon teapaw.org/TICAS_org/status/80841…
A7: 1/2 if you're selected but don’t complete verification you can't receive federal #financialaid even if otherwise eligible #MillennialMon

A6: Unfortunately, if you don't complete the verification, you will find themselves without federal financial aid. #MillennialMon teapaw.org/YoungInvincible/status…
Q6: How does #FAFSA verification affect whether students enroll and succeed in college? #MillennialMon
