AmeriCorps online payment system a great success

A little more than a year ago, AmeriCorps implemented an online payment system. The system has proven to be popular with all involved parties, with over 1,700 schools and loan holders already registered.

The system allows online submission and processing of Segal AmeriCorps Education Award payments, interest accrual payments, and forbearance requests, thus eliminating paperwork and reducing wait time for payment. AmeriCorps member payments are often processed within a week; in contrast, the paper method can take over a month.

School access
Institutions can access the online system from the www.AmeriCorps.gov Web site. For security purposes, every institution must register before entering the system.

The person who registers the institution will become the Institutional Security Administrator. This person will have the right to grant access to others within the organization and assign user roles to those people. They will also have the responsibility for maintaining and monitoring the security administration for the institution.

More information
Users may register for this online system at https://my.americorps.gov/mp/login.do. For additional questions, please e-mail epayments@americorps.gov.
