How will I log in to the system? You can access the system from the AmeriCorps.gov website. The first time you use the AmeriCorps online payment system, you will need to complete a simple registration process by following the steps below:
Can more than one person in my Institution have access to the system? The person who registers your Institution will become the Institutional Security Administrator. The Institutional Security Administrator (there may be more than one person assigned this role) has the ability to grant access to others within your organization and assign roles depending on what type of requests each user will be processing. What are the security measures on the site? According to OMB and NIST guidelines, electronic signatures can be achieved in a Level 2 system via verified user registration methods. OMB reveals that Level 2 systems generally contain information that, if violated, would be financially harmful to an individual and cause a small degree of financial exposure to the related agency. For the purposes of this system, we will be using a method that requires two separate steps. First, the user must identify him/herself to the system using predetermined data elements. Second, the system will verify the individual’s identity, and then require him to establish a username and password for subsequent reentry. Will we have a record of requests that are made through the system? Institutions will always have access to historical records, because all records will be maintained in the Trust’s database. From your homepage, you can select “Search Requests” from the left-hand navigation bar where you can view and search past requests on a number of different fields. You will also have the option of printing requests if you so desire. How will I be notified that a request has arrived and is awaiting action? You have the choice either to receive notification e-mails or simply log in to your account to view the status of pending requests. To receive e-mail notifications so that you are made aware of any change to your account, just select that option when you register. |
