For School Certifying Officials
On time.
Every time.
Every semester, before GI Bill® benefits are paid, someone at the school confirms each enrollment by hand. AllowED reads every enrollment overnight, checks each one against the rules, and certifies through the VA Lighthouse API — with every judgment call left to the SCO.

When it's late
A late certification means the housing money doesn't come. The rent is late. Then the lights. Then the food.

Every semester, before GI Bill® benefits are paid, someone at their school confirms each enrollment by hand. One record at a time, across whatever system the campus happens to run. At the end of every record is a veteran waiting on books or rent. At most schools, that one person is a school certifying official, and their stack never gets smaller. Every file is a student waiting on benefits.
Here's what the job looks like. Tedious. Manual. The same record typed into two systems, then typed again when a class changes. A rule lookup for every program. And the answer moves: one dropped class after census, and the certification you sent is wrong. A late certification means the housing money doesn't come. The rent is late, then the lights, then the food. Every one of those lands on one desk.
This is why I created AllowED. One console. One check. Overnight, AllowED reads every enrollment the school already has. It checks each one against the rules and shows exactly which rule was applied. By morning, AllowED has sorted them for you. Open any name and the work is there. Nothing hidden. A few stop where SCO judgment is required. Each one is a single question with the rule it comes from. The hours that went into data entry go to students.
Hold one back with a single check, then certify the rest in one action. Submitted through the VA Lighthouse API, the receipt is already in the audit trail. The student sees it the same morning. On time, every time. Every action attributed, every entry chained to the one before it. Nothing can be edited, including by AllowED.
AllowED: to help the world's institutions adopt intelligence without losing their humanity.
