Important Update for System for Award Management (SAM) Registration

The US Federal Contract Registration (USFCR) has changed the System for Award Management (SAM) registration process. To receive an updated or renewed SAM registration, Employment Networks (ENs) must now provide an original, signed and notarized letter identifying the EN administrator associated with an organization’s DUNS number.

ENs must update or renew their SAM registration on an annual basis. Failure to do so can result in termination from the Ticket to Work program.

Social Security will not process payments if an EN fails to update the SAM registration or allows the SAM registration to expire. All ENs must take the necessary steps to ensure that their SAM registration is renewed and updated on a timely basis. 

ENs will receive notifications from sam.gov at 60, 30 and 15 days prior to the expiration date of the existing SAM registration, which will detail any actions required by the EN. The notifications will be emailed to the points of contact identified in the original registration.

Social Security encourages ENs to act quickly upon receipt of a notification. All ENs should monitor their email for any notifications from sam.gov regarding necessary renewals or updates to their registration.
