Please be advised that the Integrated Financial Management and Information System (IFMIS) and the Payment and Reporting System (PARS) will be undergoing temporary maintenance from Wednesday, May 8, 2013 to Tuesday, May 14, 2013. During this time, grantees may submit payment and amendment requests as usual, but the AFG will not be able to process them. These systems should be back to normal and the processing of grantee requests should resume by Wednesday, May 15, 2013.
Please submit requests for any urgently needed payments or amendments as soon as possible to avoid experiencing a delay during this maintenance period. If you have questions, please call the Customer Service Center at 1-866-927-5646, or email ask-gmd@dhs.gov. We apologize for any inconvenience this outage may cause.
