A program that covers curriculum still decides each purchase. Check the item and the payment route in the program before buying; a direct card purchase is not guaranteed to be reimbursed.
Check that the provider and exact expense meet your program’s current rules.
Follow your program’s marketplace or DirectPay instructions and attach the itemized invoice when required.
The program decides whether to approve the expense and pay the vendor. Keep the purchase records.

Yes in 17 of 18 programs: curriculum, workbooks and printable worksheets are among the most widely covered ESA expenses. Arizona attach a condition, usually that the item comes from an approved provider or through the program's platform. The table above shows each program's rule with its source.
Programs describe the category as curriculum, textbooks and instructional materials, which covers printable worksheet subscriptions as well as printed workbooks, as long as the purchase serves the named student and goes through the program's payment route. A few programs limit consumables such as paper and ink; the worksheets themselves are the instructional material.
Printed workbooks are instructional materials in every program that covers curriculum. PencilGo practice, worksheets and digital workbooks are free. No card or ESA funds needed.
No. Free worksheets cost nothing, so there is nothing to submit to the program, and you can print as many as you like without touching the account.
Nothing that the programs distinguish. Their rules name curriculum, textbooks, workbooks and instructional or supplemental materials; printable worksheets, printables and workbooks all fall inside that category. What matters is that the item is instructional, serves the student on the account, and is bought through the route the program names.
Before buying: The program decides whether the exact item and payment route qualify. A direct card purchase may not be reimbursed.
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.
