*** 2012 FIXED YEAR FUNDS WILL CANCEL ON SEPTEMBER 30, 2017 ***
The deadline for you to request cash withdrawals from 2012 awards made with annual appropriations is September 28, 2017 at 5:00pm ET. You must request funds prior to this deadline. If your awarding agency has implemented an earlier cut-off deadline, you must meet that deadline instead. If you received a grant award funded with a 2012 annual appropriation, those funds will cancel and no longer be available to you or your awarding agency. You will not be able to access the funds for any reason (program expenditures, obligations, or payment requests). Remaining balances on all awards issued using 2012 annual appropriation funds will be canceled by September 30, 2017. If you are not sure whether your grant award is from an annual appropriation, please contact your awarding agency. For additional details, go to the PMS canceled awards page under Grant Recipient
Info.

the Do Not Pay portal into our current payment processes to support our federal agency customers in
their efforts to reduce the number of improper payments made through programs funded by the federal
government.
You can read the entire notice at the Do Not Pay link located
under the Grant Recipient Info tab on the left.
