The procedures for corrections and updating apply to all federal student aid applicants. Verification is the process of checking the accuracy of the information supplied by the student with other verifiable information. The student is also required to complete the Institutional Verification Form that is available at the campus Financial Aid Office. However, the error rate for the reporting of the actual child support paid by student, spouse or parent, is unusually high. Therefore, students reporting child support PAID must submit proof of the amount of child support paid for the year in question.
Documentation is required for auditing purposes.
Within 2-3 weeks, the student will receive an Acknowledgment Notice from the CPS, once the correction is processed. The Financial Aid Office will receive the corrected SAR electronically and download the correction. Upon electronic receipt of the corrected SAR, the FAO will complete the student's financial aid file. The students will receive an award letter indicating their eligibility for assistance or an ineligibility letter indicating that they do not qualify for the grant programs. If PHCC is not listed as one of the schools the student selected to receive the SAR electronically, PHCC is unable to process the necessary corrections immediately for the student.
