Editor’s note: This
program is being under utilized by the membership.
As of this writing, only one award is being announced
at the Spring conference and it is a renewal.
The committee is still seeking viable submissions and
is perplexed given the state funding cuts and apparent lack of
interest in the community in this program.
Go to the VASFAA website and find out how to get some
money back to do something worthwhile at your institution or
among your professional colleagues.
VASFAA Federal and State Relations Committee
The IRS is reaching out to the financial aid community through the VASFAA.
As outlined below, IRS procedural changes are being
implemented in how a student or parent can obtain tax
information that is routinely requested by
Financial Aid offices in Virginia. In
May, a new procedure is being implemented at ALL IRS offices.
IRS Form 1722 tax listings will no longer be issued over
the counter at IRS offices. The IRS Form 1722 tax
listing will only be provided by phone request. IRS
personnel answering the phone call will complete the
student/parent request and the 1722 should be placed in the
mail on the same or next day. Students and or
parents should no longer be advised to physically go to an IRS
office in person in order to acquire the 1722.
With this procedural change, the information contained on the
Department of Education web site(s) will be inaccurate.
If
you have difficulty reading the message text or in accessing
the attachment, please let me know and I'll try another
