A New Way to Process & Manage VA Benefits

Built to Address the Complexities of Managing VA Funding in Higher Education

Certforce is a Software as a Service (SaaS) designed specifically for the processing of VA and TA benefit programs which address enrollment certification issues and changes in enrollment issues often found during a VA audit. This is done by creating software architecture specific to the regulations of each benefit program to include an internal verification check to address any changes after enrollment has been reported to the VA.

Let Certforce Help Address Certification Issues

Addresses General Issues

  • Lack of internal controls by SCO for monitoring pursuit during terms to meet the 30-day reporting timeliness
  • Lack of relationship between SCO and Business Office regarding Chapter 33 tuition and fee evidence necessary for certifications and changes
  • SCO has no institutional access to student financial records

Access to information you need when you need it

Only provide the information needed to those that need it. Certforce is designed with multiple levels of permissions based on the common positions found when managing VA benefits.

Enrollment Certification Issues
