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.

Note:  A minimum monthly service transaction charge of $25.00 is automatically billed to agencies with query activity during the month, but whose SAVE Program query volume charge totals do not exceed $25.00.  No charge will be assessed if a user account remains idle during any given month.
