Submitting a complete and effective VetBiz application through the VA CVE’s VetBiz system can be daunting. The VA CVE requires a large number of documents–everything from your personal resume to your tax returns to your corporate bylaws–as well as letters of explanation for documents you may not possess.
If the VA CVE finds problems with your VA VetBiz application, you have the opportunity to withdraw your application and reapply, or file a request for reconsideration.
If the VA CVE believes that your previously-verified SDVOSB is no longer eligible (or never should have been verified in the first place), it may propose cancellation of your SDVOSB certification. Typically, the VA CVE will give you 30 days to respond with evidence showing why your VA SDVOSB status should not be cancelled.
