The federal funds used to operate this project are scheduled to expire later this year. As a result, all ACE funds must be used for allowable activities no later than July 1, 2024. (Dates of service must occur before July 1, 2024.)*
All claims requesting payment or reimbursement must be submitted to Merit for processing no later than July 15, 2024. Any funds that are not expended by July 1, 2024 will no longer be available. Claims submitted after July 15, 2024 will not be approved.
*Clarification for service dates/close down for camps: Claims for day camps that have been paid for by parents may be reimbursed if the service date occurs through September 1, 2024. The claim is only reimbursable for day camps during this time period if the parent has paid up front and prior to July 1, 2024.
Each Service Provider conducts their business differently and may collect payment for their goods/services in one of two ways:
1. Parent/Guardian pays for goods/services at time of service. This type of purchase can be reimbursed with OH ACE account funds directly to the parent/guardian via claim submission with an attached receipt in the OH ACE app as long as the parent/guardian has connected their bank account to the app.
2. Service Provider issues an invoice to the parent/guardian for goods/services. This invoice can be paid directly to the Service Provider using OH ACE account funds by submitting a claim with the attached invoice in the OH ACE app, as long as the Service Provider has set up their account to receive those funds.
Please check with each Service Provider ahead of a purchasing decision to ensure you are aware of their policy regarding payment at time of service or invoicing.

Located in downtown Columbus, Ohio, the National Veterans Memorial and Museum (NVMM) is the only museum in American to honor ALL Veterans, from all branches of service, and from all eras of our nation’s proud history. We offer an educational experience unlike anywhere else that brings American history to life by connecting students to the powerful, personal stories and firsthand experiences of our nation’s heroes. The NVMM takes visitors on a narrative journey paying tribute to the sacrifices of servicemen and women and their families. History is presented in a dynamic, participatory experience with photos, letters and personal effects, multi-media presentations, and interactive exhibits. Together, these elements link our national story to the larger context of world events since our country’s earliest days and demonstrate the importance of individuals in shaping our history. Visitors of all ages are encouraged to • Touch and try on military gear and materials. • Listen to the featured Veterans provide insight into their unique experiences. • Write letters to Veterans and active-duty service members. • Join the conversation by writing down questions they would like a Veteran to answer. • Ask the Museum Educators and Volunteer Ambassadors questions. • Reflect on the stories heard and what it means to serve. • See what’s new in our rotating exhibition gallery. In addition to field trips, we offer an expanding collection of free digital learning resources that can support student learning in Social Studies, American History, American Government, and Civics!
