Important Note: SBA utilizes an automated matching service to validate your status as a Veteran.  This matching logic leverages the address you provide in the certification application to match against your Residence address located within your http://VA.Gov profile.  Please ensure you are using the address that matches this http://VA.Gov Residence address.  If SBA fails to match your certification information with VA, your application will be returned for correction.
