How do NH EFA providers get paid?

Families pay approved providers by Direct Pay in ClassWallet. Each transaction goes to CSF's compliance staff, who approve or deny it against the allowable-use rules. Invoices should show your school or provider name, the invoice date, the student's first and last name, a description clear enough to show the expense is allowable, the date(s) of service, and the amount due per student (not per family).

How to become a NH EFA vendor in New Hampshire

New Hampshire's Education Freedom Accounts are administered by the Children's Scholarship Fund (CSF), a nonprofit authorized by the state, with ClassWallet as the payment platform. Anyone who teaches or serves EFA students must be EFA-approved, even if families only pay you out of pocket and seek reimbursement.

Provider types

2 with their own documents

Who can apply

Step 1: complete CSF's provider registration form (required for anyone who provides service or instruction to students). Step 2: once CSF approves you, follow the emailed link to create a ClassWallet account and verify your bank details.3
Provider types are educational institutions or programs, therapy providers, tutoring providers, and educational retailers. Big-box retailers such as Target don't need EFA approval.3
You must document how you keep students safe, for example by uploading your background-check policy. That material is made public so parents can assess it.3
A ClassWallet account is optional: you need one only if you want families to pay you directly from the EFA.4

Documents by provider type

Tutors

Tutoring must be by a certified or accredited individual or a tutoring facility, in the core knowledge domains: government, health, history, language, reading, writing, spelling, math and science.5
Upload your credentials with the registration form, such as licenses, a resume, teaching certifications, work history and proof of degrees or certificates.1

Therapists

Therapy fees qualify when the therapist is certified or accredited in the educational service or therapy, including audiology, behavioral, occupational and speech-language therapies.6

How you get paid

1Families pay approved providers by Direct Pay in ClassWallet. Each transaction goes to CSF's compliance staff, who approve or deny it against the allowable-use rules.7
2Invoices should show your school or provider name, the invoice date, the student's first and last name, a description clear enough to show the expense is allowable, the date(s) of service, and the amount due per student (not per family).8
3Include an invoice number if you can. Without a unique identifier, or with anything missing or ambiguous, CSF may ask for more documentation.8
4Approved providers with a ClassWallet account can ask ClassWallet to join its Marketplace; CSF approves the addition.7

What trips providers up

Never refund, rebate or share EFA money with a family. Refunds go back to the student's EFA through ClassWallet within 30 days. Missing that is a ground for disqualification.9
Parents and immediate family can't be paid EFA funds for instructing their own child, even if they're an approved provider.4
Never ask a parent for their EFA username or password, or access a student's account yourself.3
Only invoices and receipts dated on or after the student's date of eligibility can be processed.4
