Providers wishing to accept payments from scholarship accounts must submit an application to the Treasurer of State’s office.  Each applicant may be asked to provide proof of accreditation, licensure, certification or any other supporting documentation. There are no costs associated with application.

Upon application approval, you will be sent a link to register for a ClassWallet account. ClassWallet is the ESA financial management platform where students will be able to pay you utilizing their ESA scholarship funds. ClassWallet registration involves linking a bank account. This process can take a few days due to the micro-deposit verification step. More information about account registration can be found here: https://classwallet.my.site.com/classwallet/s/article/Link-bank-account-DirectPay-Vendors

All ESA payments will be made in arrears, after services have been provided. Once services are rendered to an ESA student, providers will produce an invoice for the student. The family is responsible for taking that invoice and uploading it into ClassWallet, where they will select the provider and indicate how much the invoice is for. An ESA Account Specialist will verify the information on the invoice matches with what was submitted to ClassWallet. If everything is matching, the invoice will be approved and both the family and the provider will be sent a notification. Within 7-10 business days, providers will see the funds from the invoice deposited into the bank account registered with ClassWallet. If there is a discrepancy with the submitted invoice, an ESA Account Specialist will reach out to the provider to resolve the issue.

No. The ESA Office will not dictate what an individual, business, or school can charge for a specific service or program. Those decisions are left up to the inidivudal entity to decide. The only stipulation the ESA Office is responsible for ensuring is that ESA students are not charged more for the same services as a simialrily situationed non-ESA student.

Documentation required will vary by the type of service provided but generally, we will need to see a business license as well as any certifications or licensure associated with the service being provided (Ex. BCBA license for those providing Autism therapy).

If a student has a remaining balance to a provider after all ESA funds have been used, the balance may be paid through another payment method. Families may also choose to pay tuition and fees by other means and use ESA for other qualified expenses. Families are responsible for any leftover balance after ESA funds are used.

Yes, they do, provided your organization exceeded the transaction and volume thresholds prescribed by the IRS.

According to the IRS, a Third Party Settlement Organization (TPSO) must file Form 1099-K for payments made in settlement of reportable payment transactions for each calendar year. ClassWallet is a TPSO.

A TPSO is required to report any information concerning third-party network transactions of any participating payee only if for the calendar year:

• The gross amount of total reportable payment transactions exceeds $20,000, and
• The total number of such transactions exceeds 200.

If your company exceeds both thresholds in the calendar year, ClassWallet will send you a 1099-K form by January 31st.
