GSA may share payment records with Treasury
GSA will disclose records from its systems that are connected to payments to the U.S. Department of the Treasury so Treasury can use the Do Not Pay system to identify, prevent, or recoup improper payments. This change becomes effective 30 days after April 22, 2026 (May 22, 2026), and comments are due by May 22, 2026.
Contractors' and vendors' payment records may be screened
Records in GSA systems used by contractors and vendors (for example, SAM, SmartPay, Disbursement and Accounts Payable Files) may be disclosed to the Department of the Treasury for Do Not Pay screening to identify, prevent, or recoup improper payments. This change is effective May 22, 2026.
Child-care subsidy records may be checked
If you are an applicant for or recipient of GSA child-care subsidy payments (GSA/Childcare-1), your records may be disclosed to the Department of the Treasury so Do Not Pay can check eligibility, prevent improper payments, or recoup funds.
