Which route each state uses
Every way a program pays a vendor
ClassWallet
Sign in to your program's ClassWallet account. Search for the name shown above in the marketplace or under Pay Vendor / DirectPay. Submit the purchase or the vendor's invoice for your program's review. The program decides whether to approve and pay.
Odyssey marketplace
Sign in to your program's Odyssey account. Search for the name shown above. Check whether your exact offering is available and approved. Follow the program's current purchase steps only after it confirms the offering is eligible.
State program marketplace
Sign in to the program's family portal. Search for the name shown above and confirm the exact offering is approved. Submit the purchase for program review and payment.
Invoice or reimbursement
Ask the vendor for an invoice or quote made out to the program. Submit it through your program's expense or reimbursement process. Wait for the program's decision before treating the purchase as covered.
Before using ESA funds. Provider approval or a marketplace listing does not approve every product or confirm that a funded purchase can be made. Check your program's current rules and payment route before buying; a direct card purchase does not guarantee reimbursement. This hub is educational information, not legal, tax or eligibility advice. PencilGo is independent of state agencies.
