Independent provider-side software
We translate fragmented ESA rules into paperwork providers can actually use.
GetESAPaid helps US tutors, therapists, microschools, and curriculum sellers register as school-choice vendors, invoice to the correct state rules, and keep audit-ready records. We are not a state program, payment rail, law firm, or tax adviser.
What GetESAPaid is
Every ESA state uses its own program name, application, eligible-expense definitions, credentials, payment platform, invoice fields, and deadlines. GetESAPaid maintains those provider-side rules in one structured rules engine. The same data drives the public guides, free checkers, registration workflow, and invoice validation.
The product sits alongside ClassWallet, Odyssey, Step Up For Students, and state portals. Those platforms approve vendors and move funds. GetESAPaid helps a provider prepare the application, documents, invoice, and records those platforms expect.
Editorial and data policy
How the rules are researched
-
01 · PRIMARY SOURCES FIRST
State agencies and current program handbooks
Eligibility, award, expense, credential, and documentation claims start with the administering agency, statute, handbook, or official program site.
-
02 · RAIL OPERATIONS
Official payment-platform documentation
ClassWallet, Odyssey, and Step Up documentation is used for application mechanics, fees, direct pay, reimbursement, fulfillment, and payout workflow.
-
03 · SOURCE TRAIL
Dates, direct links, and visible limits
Rule pages show when the dataset was reviewed, link the official program, and separate published rules from practical guidance. Unknowns are not filled with invented certainty.
-
04 · ONE RULES ENGINE
The guide and the product use the same data
A state update changes its public guide, expense reference, registration steps, and invoice requirements together, reducing drift between marketing copy and product behavior.
What the guidance can do
- Show the published provider steps, expense categories, documents, deadlines, and invoice fields for a program.
- Flag missing paperwork and category risks before submission.
- Point providers back to the official program that makes the final decision.
Where it stops
- It does not approve a vendor, item, service, reimbursement, or invoice.
- It is not individualized legal, tax, licensing, or eligibility advice.
- Rules can change between reviews; the current official handbook controls.
Public accountability
Follow the source log and data methodology
The rules log records research-surface updates separately from program-policy changes. The rejection benchmark publishes only standardized aggregate categories after a five-report threshold.
Corrections and support
