Only complete income verification for the 2026-2027 school year if:
- Qualify for Low Income Status (your poverty level percentage fell below 200% or it will for the 2025 tax year)

Income verification is optional for renewal applications in the EdChoice Expansion Scholarship program. Renewing families do not need to complete a new income verification each year. If your annual household income or household size has changed, families may submit a new income verification application for the next school year. Families applying for low-income status in EdChoice and EdChoiceExpansion must submit new household income annually. Household Income will not be recalculated after the review has been completed. To complete the Income Verification process, parents may submit online using the secure Income Verification system or complete a mail the paper form. Emailing documents is not permitted.
