You’re Getting the ACES$ Advantage
As an ACES$ PA VAMC Veterans Participant, you enjoy the ACES$ Advantage that includes:
The best in Veteran care
Over 51% of our team members have disabilities and live it firsthand. We know what it’s like. And that means we also know how challenging it can be to navigate the financial management world. Our goal is to make it simpler for you. One way we do that is by going above and beyond.
Real-time budget info
With ACES$ Online, you and your case manager can log in anytime to see your budget and purchases. There’s no guessing on how much you have left to spend. With this real-time data, you can better plan how you will spend your budget.
Many ways to submit timesheets
Your employees can choose the timesheet submission option that best suits them. From quick and secure online submission through ACES$ Online to the traditional methods of fax, email and mail, the choice is theirs.
Quick, easy personalized enrollment
Enrollment can be frustrating, but with ACES$, it’s not. We have streamlined forms, optional in-person enrollment and secure online enrollment that makes the entire process fast and easy.
Live phone-call support
Anytime you call us at 1-833-349-4515, you talk to one of our highly trained ACES$ team members. We don’t outsource our Veterans’ support, and we don’t use an automated phone system.
Instant alerts
You’ll get automatic alerts from ACES$ Online if you’re over budget.
Choice of payment method
Your employees can choose the best form of payment for them, whether that’s direct deposit, pay card or paper paycheck.
Off-cycle payroll
If there were an error on a timesheet, your employees won’t have to wait a week to get paid. We process corrected timesheets outside of our normal payroll cycle.

We have ACES$ team members who speak both English and Spanish. Moreover, our language line offers additional translations. For Spanish, call ACES$ at 1-888-224-0115 and press “9.“ Otherwise, call and request the language in which you would like to speak. An ACES$ team member will get an interpreter on the line.
