This number is a required field for all subsequent steps in the application submission. Applicants should verify they have a DUNS number, or take the steps necessary to obtain one. Applicants can receive a DUNS number at no cost by calling the DUNS number request line at (866) 705 -5711. FEMA cannot assist applicants with questions related to obtaining a current DUNS number. Obtain an Employer Identification Number (EIN) FEMA requires both the EIN and a DUNS number prior to the issuance of a financial assistance award and for grant award payment; both EIN and DUNS are also required to register with SAM (see below). The EIN base for an organization is the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) Tax ID number; for individuals it is their social security number, both the EIN and social security numbers are nine -digit numbers. Organizations submitting their applications must correctly differentiate the EIN from the DUNS since both are 9 -digit numbers. If these numbers are not correctly identified in the application, this may result in a delay in the issuance of the funding award and/or incorrect payment to a recipient organization. Organization applicants M13jng for an EIN should plan on a minimum of two full weeks to obtain an EIN. If you need assistance registering an EIN please contact the IRS helpline. FEMA cannot assist applicants with questions related to obtaining a current EIN. Register with the System for Award Management (SAM) Applicants applying for grant funds electronically through Grants. gov must register with the Federal System for Award Management (SAM). Step -by -step instructions for registering with SAM can be found at: http:11www.gran1s. gov/ web /grants/ applicants loreanization- rggistration /step- 2- register- with-sam.html. All applicants must register with SAM in order to apply online. Failure to register with the SAM will result in your application being rejected by Grants.gov during the submissions process. Payment under any FEMA award is contingent on the recipient's having a current SAM registration. The SAM registration process must be completed by the applicant. It is imperative that the information provided by the applicant is correct and current. Please ensure that your organization's name, address, DUNS number, and EIN are up to date in SAM and that the DUNS number used in SAM is the same one used to apply for all other FEMA awards. SAM registration is a multi -step process that includes validating your EIN with the IRS and obtaining a Commercial and Government Entity (CAGE) code. The CAGE code is only valid for one year after issuance and must be current at the time of application. FY 2015 EMPG Program 55B -17
