We had a FAFSA verification which was followed by a correction done by a college that brought our EFC down a few hundred dollars. I have no idea why and no one told us, though someone thought it could be that they wanted to confirm our income in light of us having a lower middle class income but not a lower middle class EFC. We had to send a copy of one of the schedules from our tax forms as well as any W-2s or 1099s. I I wondered if I could have just made a mistake when I input some numbers, though I did use the ITS data retrieval tool. It was frustrating that it wasn’t more transparent.
