Identity Verification and Administrative Override Reminder

Because you asked: Next steps, Identity Verification and Administrative Override.

If a student has a FAFSA with Reject Codes 74 or 75, the student will be ineligible for all State financial aid programs (unless the institution has successfully verified the student’s identity). This guidance is in accordance with Federal Student Aid’s Electronic Announcement: APP-26-03.

If the institution successfully completes identity verification and submits a FAFSA correction, the institution must also notify the Office of Higher Education to request removal of the administrative override. Once the new transaction has loaded in MiSSG, submit your request to Jessica Hamelink at HamelinkJ@Michigan.gov.

An example of how you can check in MiSSG for their 74/75 status is seen below. This area is located towards the bottom of their student application screen.
