SAM Reps and Certs Financial Assistance Notice.pdf

This document is an instructional guide for SAM.gov entity registration requirements related to federal financial assistance eligibility. Entities seeking federal grant funding or currently receiving federal financial assistance must select "YES" to the Financial Assistance Response question in SAM.gov's Entity Registration section. This affirmative selection triggers the display of financial assistance representations and certifications that require entity attestation to their accuracy.

The document outlines the structure of SAM.gov's Entity Registration module, which includes Core Data, Assertions, Reps and Certs sections, and specifies that the Financial Assistance Representation and Certification subsection contains the Grants Certifications required under Title 2 of the Code of Federal Regulations (2 CFR 200.208). Non-Federal entities intending to apply for or currently receiving Federal grants or agreements must complete and maintain current, accurate financial assistance certifications and representations as part of their entity registration. The document emphasizes that registrants who answer affirmatively to the financial assistance eligibility question are obligated to keep these certifications and representations current and complete throughout their entity registration period.
