ATTACHMENT A <br /> • PAGE 2 OF 2 <br /> Those payees who do not have the technology to access GAPS on -line may request funds using <br /> ED's Payee Customer Support Group by calling 1- 888 - 336 -8930. Instructions on requesting <br /> funds using ED's Payee Customer Support Group are also given in the Payee's Guide. <br /> GAPS AWARD INFORMATION <br /> Payees can get information on this award (1) on -line or (2) by calling ED's Payee Customer <br /> Support Group at 1- 888 - 336 -8930. <br /> ➢ On -Line: <br /> Payees may access GAPS via the Internet on ED's web pagc to retrieve and view <br /> information on their awards, such as: <br /> • Net authorization and authorization history <br /> • Net draws <br /> • Available balance <br /> • History of pending and completed payments <br /> • Award status <br /> • Award history — including detailed transactions on drawdowns, returns, refunds, and <br /> adjustments <br /> ➢ ED's Payee Customer Support Group: <br /> Payees can contact a Payee Customer Support Representative for information on this award. <br /> Because award information is organized in GAPS by a unique identifier — the Dun & Bradstreet <br /> Number (DUNS Number) — payees should have their DUNS number, identified in Block 8 of <br /> the Grant Award Notification, available when contacting a Payee Customer Support <br /> Representative. <br /> FINANCIAL REPORTS: <br /> When a Payee requests a drawdown of funds by grant award, the Department records this as an <br /> expenditure against the specific grant award. This method of identifying expenditures, at the <br /> time of drawdown, and the capability to make adjustments on -line eliminates the need for the <br /> submission of the Federal Cash Transactions Report Form 272. Therefore, no additional <br /> financial reporting will be required unless required by a specific program. <br /> (03/98) <br />
