New User Access

In order for Health and Human Services employees (HHS) and Non-HHS Awarding Agencies to manage grant payment requests, drawdowns, and disbursement reporting activities for their recipients, members of these agencies will need to request a PMS User ID. The PMS User ID establishes the security for the user. It is the security profile that determines and controls what menu options and subsequently the processes the user can perform and the access to in the Payment Management System.

PMS will require the user to provide their agency, their contact and supervisor information, and select the accesses required. After submitting their request their supervisor will need to verify the information and access requested. If they approve then the information is submitted to PSC. PSC will review the request and verify the provided information. Once they issue their approval a User ID will be issued to the requester.
