Tuition disbursement works better than reimbursement
Working with EFFA helps employers:
- Eliminate compliance risk through automated policy enforcement
- Reduce administrative burden - universities replace TA administrators
- Better employee experience by removing out-of-pocket barriers
- Prevent fraud through direct institutional grade reporting
- No administrative fees - access better university discounts directly
How automated disbursement works
Four simple steps:
- Employee contacts partner university about educational goals
- University submits program details to EFFA for pre-authorization
- EFFA verifies alignment with your policy and approves funding
- Payment processed directly after successful course completion
Why Employers Should Care
Traditional tuition reimbursement creates barriers - employees who can't afford upfront costs are excluded from your educational benefits program.
Manual compliance review is time-intensive and error-prone, creating administrative headaches while increasing risk of fraud and policy violations.
Manual processes increase risk of paying for non-compliant courses while giving you limited visibility into program utilization and employee educational outcomes.
