The federal income tax transcript is available from the IRS at Financial aid awards cannot be finalized until Verification is complete. 32
33 Special Conditions If your family encounters a financial crisis that is not reflected on the FAFSA, contact the financial aid office. Examples of events for which financial aid administrators might use professional judgment: Loss of job Separation/divorce Death of parent or spouse Extraordinary out-of-pocket medical expenses Financial aid administrators are not required to make (and may be prohibited from) some adjustments. 33
