This is an instructional document issued by the State of Ohio regarding payee registration procedures for the Ohio Pays system. The document provides step-by-step guidance for vendors and contractors who wish to register as payees to receive payments from the State of Ohio. The registration process requires vendors to first create an OH/ID account through OHID.ohio.gov, then proceed to register on the Ohio Pays website at https://ohiopays.ohio.gov. The instructions outline the sequential steps vendors must follow, including accessing the "Getting Started" section, reviewing available information about Ohio Pays, and completing the registration process through the "How to Register" link. The document emphasizes that all payments through the Ohio Pays system are made via Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT), requiring vendors to complete the EFT registration section to facilitate direct deposit of payments into their accounts.

The document does not address pricing terms, contract amounts, or funding sources, as it is purely instructional in nature. Vendors who encounter difficulties during the registration process are directed to contact OBM Shared Services at 1-877-644-6771 to request assistance from the Payee Group, or may submit a help request through the Contact feature on the Ohio Pays website. This registration process applies to all vendors seeking to do business with the State of Ohio, including those bidding on the RTI LED Lighting Rough DSCC CSMS contract opportunity referenced in the related state and local contract documentation.
