As discussed in last week’s digest, providing a payment justification is now required for all ASAP drawdowns. Requesting a payment without entering a justification under 300 characters will result in an error message. Using symbols (e.g., %) may also generate an error message.

Possible language that GAP grantees might use to provide a justification for GAP expenditures could be, “This drawdown is for reimbursement of approved GAP program expenditures from DATE to DATE.”

If you need assistance, here are several resources:

  • Email Treasury at asaphelpdesk@fiscal.treasury.gov. Provide your 7-digit Recipient ID or UEI in the subject line.
  • Call 855-868-0151 (option 2, option 3). ASAP support staff are available Monday through Friday, 7:30 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Eastern.

Please pass this information on to the person who completes the drawdowns for your GAP grant.
