SAVE Transaction Charges
On Oct. 1, 2024, USCIS implemented the second phase of a transaction charge increase for SAVE verification cases, which also streamlines billing to a single charge per verification case. SAVE also charges a minimum monthly service charge of $25.00 for each month in which a user agency submits at least one SAVE case. The transaction charge increase is necessary to fully recover program costs as required by law and Federal agency guidance.
Federal Agencies
The federal agency charge is $2.25 per case in Fiscal Year (FY) 2024 (Oct. 1, 2024 – Sept. 30, 2025) and incrementally increases until reaching $3.10 per case in FY 2026.
| Fiscal Year | Federal Agency Charge |
|---|---|
| FY 2024 | $1.50 |
| FY 2025 | $2.25 |
| FY 2026 | $3.10 |
Non-federal Agencies:
The non-federal agency charge is $1.50 per case in FY 2025 (Oct. 1, 2024 – Sept. 30, 2025) and will incrementally increase to $3.10 per case by FY 2028. Non-federal agencies have a longer phase-in period for increased transaction changes due to their smaller budgets and longer budget cycles.

|---|---|
| FY 2024 | $1.00 |
| FY 2025 | $1.50 |
| FY 2026 | $2.00 |
