Final Reminder - DUNS Number Required on All Voucher Submissions

From RHIIP ListServ Posting #397:
Final
Reminder - DUNS Number Required on All Voucher Submissions
This is the final reminder that
effective December 1, 2017, vouchers that do not contain an active Dun &
Bradstreet’s (DB) Data Numbering System (DUNS) Number will generate a Tenant
Rental Assistance Certification System (TRACS) fatal error and will not receive
payment until corrected. Attached is the memorandum, dated June 2, 2017, that
implements the requirement to include the DUNS numbers on all vouchers
submitted to TRACS.
Information on obtaining a DUNS
number and
registering with System for Award Management (SAM) is
attached. After registering with SAM, the DUNS
number must be entered into the TRACS Voucher Header (VCHHR). Refer to chapter
six of the MAT
User Guide for information on entering the DUNS number into the VCHHR. Once
entered, the DUNS number should appear on the voucher query. If a fatal error
is received although the DUNS has been entered, you may need to contact your software provider to check for glitches.
Following the resolution of any vendor software
glitches, the voucher must be resubmitted to TRACS. Refer to the iMAX_IMAT_FRD_Appendix_C_iMAT_Processing
for information regarding specific error codes.
For technical support questions
regarding a DUNS number, contact the SAM Federal Service Desk at
1-866-606-8220. For other questions regarding the DUNS number memorandum,
contact Annecia Durr at Annecia.Durr@hud.gov.
**Note: The
attached memorandum apply to entities that submit vouchers to TRACS only.**
