Abstract
Using the moduli theory of abelian varieties and a recent result of Böcherer-Nagaoka on lifting of the generalized Hasse invariant, we show congruences between the weights of Siegel modular forms with congruent Fourier expansions. This result implies that the weights of p-adic Siegel modular forms are well defined.
