Applicants can receive a DUNS number at no cost by calling the DUNS number request line at (866) 705-5711. DHS/FEMA cannot assist applicants with questions related to obtaining a current DUNS number. Obtain an Employer Identification Number (EIN) DHS/FEMA requires both the EIN and a DUNS number prior to the issuance of a financial assistance award and for grant award payment; both the EIN and DUNS number are required to register with SAM (see below). The EIN base for an organization is the IRS Tax ID number, for individuals it is their social security number. Both the EIN and the social security number are nine -digit numbers. Organizations and individuals 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 arecipient organization. Ap 1pying for an EIN should plan on a minimum of 2 full weeks to obtain an EIN. If you need assistance registering an EIN please contact the IRS helpline. DHS/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 here: http//www grants Dov/web/grants/applicants/organization-reizistrationlstey-Z-reeister- 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 DHS/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 DHS/FEMA awards. SAM registration is a multi -step process including validating your EIN with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) to obtain 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. SAM sends notifications to the registered user via email 60, 30, and 15 days prior to expiration of the SAM registration for the Entity. SAM registration may lapse due to inactivity. To update or renew your Entity records(s) in SAM you will need to create a SAM User Account and link it to your migrated Entity records. 10 FY 2015 HSGP NOFO
