Automated Standard Application for Payments FAQs
ASAP is the shared services payment system used by the Department of the Treasury that replaced the Grants Payment Request System for grants payments. Through this platform, recipients of DOJ grant awards and other forms of federal assistance are able to request and receive payments for grants managed through JustGrants.
Based on the recommendation of the Office of Management and Budget and the Chief Financial Officers Council, DOJ selected ASAP from two approved shared service grant payment systems. The October 15, 2020, launch date was selected to align the release of JustGrants and the transition to ASAP and DOJ's financial management system. The Grants Payment Request System is no longer accessible (as of September 23, 2020).

The ease and convenience offered to our grantees and award recipients through the ability to use their existing ASAP accounts is one of the main reasons behind the transition from the Grants Payment Request System to our new payment management system. Your entity's ASAP point of contact (POC) and ASAP Financial Official (FO) will receive notification of enrollment into DOJ's ALC 1504001. The enrollment process for existing ASAP entities is simplified and only requires establishing a banking account(s) for DOJ's ALC 1504001.
If your entity FO wants to use the existing banking account(s) for ALC 1504001, the FO should not click the link on the ASAP home page. They should Click Enrollments > Modify/Delete Banking Data to enable the current banking account(s) for DOJ award payments.
If your entity FO wants to add new banking account(s) for ALC 1504001, the FO can click the link on the ASAP home page or Click Enrollments > Add Banking Data.
This simplified enrollment step will then associate DOJ awards to your entity's profile and users.
