Your results will be sent to you by mail from the PA Department of Public Welfare. It may take around 2-3 weeks to receive them.

You are required to provide a copy of your results to American DataBank. American DataBank does NOT receive a copy from the Department of Public Welfare.

You may submit a copy of your results to 303-531-2055 or scan and email the results to studentdisclosure@americandatabank.com. If you do not send the results back to American DataBank, the compliance requirement will not be completed and you may lose the eligibility status in the program.
