SAVE Program Transaction Charges
SAVE Price Structure
For verification services, SAVE assesses charges based upon number and type(s) of transactions. An electronic initial verification query incurs a base transaction charge. Certain access methods allow an opportunity to edit or correct the initial electronic query information, known as a “retry.” If an initial query or a “retry” requires additional verification, an additional transaction charge is assessed. The electronic third step is free of charge.
Agencies submitting paper G-845s, without a verification case number (not electronically initiated), will be charged $2.00 per case.
Current transaction charges are listed in the table below.
