The U.S. Department of Education’s (ED) Grants Management System (G5) will begin disbursing payments via the U.S. Department of Treasury rather than through the Federal Reserve as in the past. As a result, all grantees and payees who receive payments from ED must register in the CCR, the U.S. Federal Government’s primary registrant database. 3

Grantees must register their Tax Identification Number (TIN) and Data Universal Number System (DUNS) before March 31, 2010 in the CCR database to allow for timely processing of this information. The Department’s Grants Management System (G5) will begin disbursing payments to grantees via Treasury on April 19,
