After Verification:

  
If the EFC changes with the completion of verification, adjustments will be made to the financial aid package.   The student will be notified to check their revised award letter on my.graceland or will be sent a paper copy of their new award.   If the financial aid has posted to the student account prior to the student being selected for verification, the aid will be adjusted and funds will be returned to the Pell account if the student’s Pell is decreased.   Adjustments to other funds will be made and adjusted on the student account.
 
  

Misreported Information and/or Fraud:

  

If the verification specialist or other staff of the financial aid department suspect that a student, employee, or other individual has misreported information or altered documentation to fraudulently obtain federal funds, they will report their suspicions and provide any evidence to the Office of Inspector General .
