Effective Monday, May 19, 2025, the Department of the Treasury’s Bureau of the Fiscal Service will require Recipient Organizations to include a justification for each payment.

This field is mandatory and will be required in the first step of the payment request process. View the following presentation to learn more about this new feature:  https://fiscal.treasury.gov/files/asap/asap.gov-payment-justification-recipient.pdf.

Additionally, Fiscal Service will be holding several webinars to assist agencies with this new requirement. Should you have questions, please contact the Fiscal Service ASAP Production Support at 855.868.0151 (option 2, option 3) or via email at asaphelpdesk@fiscal.treasury.gov.
