OD Global: Changes in Store for Pay.Gov Users

On June 30, Pay.gov's ACH settlement provider will implement a new payment processing system that involves a new routing number for Pay.gov transactions. Those affected by this change who use debit block services from their financial institutions, will need to unblock the new routing number 041036046 and the current Pay.gov routing number 042736141.

All debit payers will need to notify their financial institutions to have them unblock both routing numbers 041036046 and 042736141. Either unblocking Originating Depository Financial Institution (ODFI) routing numbers or unblocking the ten-digit Company ID numbers, which Pay.gov calls the ALC+2, will remove the debit blocks. Agencies and customers that unblock their accounts using only the Company ID will not be affected by this change as these ID numbers remain unchanged.

Customers should monitor their accounts to ensure that their payments are debited from the account. Any ACH Debit rejections caused by ACH Debit payers who fail to notify their respective banks of this change will be subject to all penalties currently imposed by law. This change will not affect agencies and customers that process only credit card transactions.
