# §74.15. What length of time may a business participate in VIP Verification Program?

- (a) A participant receives an eligibility term of 3 years from the date of CVE's approval letter establishing verified status.
- (b) The participant must maintain its eligibility during its tenure and must inform CVE of any changes that would affect its eligibility within 30 days.
- (c) The eligibility term may be shortened by removal pursuant to [§ 74.2](/cfr/38/74.2.md), application pursuant to [§ 74.14(b)](/cfr/38/74.14.md?p=b), voluntary withdrawal by the participant pursuant to [§ 74.21](/cfr/38/74.21.md), or cancellation pursuant to [§ 74.22](/cfr/38/74.22.md).
- (d) CVE may initiate a verification examination whenever it receives credible information concerning a participant's eligibility as a VOSB. Upon its completion of the examination, CVE will issue a written decision regarding the continued eligibility status of the questioned participant.
- (e) If CVE finds that the participant does not qualify as a VOSB, the procedures at [§ 74.22](/cfr/38/74.22.md) will apply, except as provided in [§ 74.2](/cfr/38/74.2.md).
- (f) If CVE finds that the participant continues to qualify as a VOSB, the original eligibility period remains in effect.
