You will only be required to complete the release once unless you choose to update it.
Verification
The Federal Government randomly chooses some FAFSA applications for a process called Verification. This means there is certain information on the FAFSA we are now required to verify. This process requires additional information to be provided to our office. To find out more information about what Verification means, click here.
