Who are we?

Each year FMS disburses more than $1.6 trillion issuing more than 982 million non-defense payments to recipients, such as those who receive Social Security, IRS tax refunds, and Veterans benefits. FMS is also responsible for administering the world's largest collections system, collecting more than $3 trillion annually. These collections include individual and corporate tax deposits, customs duties, loan repayments, fines, and proceeds from leases. FMS maintains a network of about 10,000 financial institutions to collect this revenue. FMS is also responsible for managing the collection of non-tax debt owed to the government. FMS also oversees the federal government's central accounting and reporting system, keeping track of its monetary assets and liabilities.
