Reminder: DUNS to UEI Transition
Ticket to Work sent this bulletin at 03/29/2022 10:45 AM EDT***Reminder***
On April 4, 2022, federal agencies, including Social Security (SSA), will switch from using the Data Universal Numbering System (DUNS) to a Unique Entity Identifier (UEI) for federal awards and payments. In order to ensure continuity for Employment Networks (EN) and State Vocational Rehabilitation (VR) agencies, the DUNS number will remain your official identifier.
Service providers do not need to take any action at this time; however, starting April 4 you will see SSA migrating away from using “DUNS” and begin using “PID” (Provider ID) in its place. SSA will store the UEI behind the scenes to properly process EN and VR agency payments. Service providers will be able to view their UEI by clicking on the “View directory information about your EN or SVR” link in the Ticket Portal.
