New Source For Federal Veteran Certification Searching

The federal Vets First CVE Verification Program known as VetBiz is no longer in operation. Responsibility for verifying the veteran status of small business owners at the federal level has been transferred to the U.S. Small Business Administration and is now called Veteran Small Business Certification (VetCert).  
Effective immediately, the new site to search for federally certified veteran-owned small businesses is now https://veterans.certify.sba.gov/#home.
The state's Department of Veteran Affairs continues to perform veteran verifications for Maryland businesses through the eMMA platform.
