SAVE Program Transaction Charges
SAVE Fee Structure The Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements (SAVE) Program is a fee-for-service program. User agencies that choose to access the SAVE Program are billed per transaction. User agencies submitting an initial electronic query incur a base transaction fee; if that initial query requires additional verification, then the user agency is charged an additional transaction. Fees vary by access method and level of verification. There is currently no charge for G-845 manual verification requests. Current transaction fees are listed in the table below. A minimum monthly service transaction charge of $25.00 is automatically billed to user agencies whose SAVE Program query volume charge totals do not exceed $25.00. However, if there are no SAVE Program queries during the month, there is no charge. Effective April 1, 2005 through September 30, 2008 Current SAVE Fee Structure | Access Method | Transaction Charges | Web 1, 2 and 3 | Initial electronic query Additional verification | $0.26 $0.48 | Priority Batch and Web Services | Initial electronic query | $0.20 | Additional verification | $0.24 | **Effective October 1, 2008** The SAVE Program is adjusting its pricing. A uniform rate of $0.50 applies to each request submitted electronically, with an additional $0.50 charge if the case is referred for additional verification. A rate of $2.00 applies to each initial manual verification request submitted via the paper-based Form G-845, Document Verification Request.
