Notification of Temporary Suspension of ASAP Accounts
To Partners and Stakeholders,
The National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) began temporarily suspending all open ASAP accounts for the last four business days of the month. Per the U.S. Department of Treasury, USDA will become Central Accounting Reporting System (CARS) Reporters, to eliminate timing difference within the federal government. This effort will continue monthly to ensure that financial information is reconciled and appropriately captured in our accounting systems. All NIFA recipients should withdraw the necessary funds prior to the cutoff. Accounts will re-open the first business day of each month.
Please direct all ASAP inquiries, or concerns to: ASAPCustomerService@nifa.usda.gov
