A recent announcement update regarding Head Start Payment Management System (PMS) – Head Start Sub-Accounts

Starting with fiscal year (FY) 2013, you will draw down Head Start funds from your Head Start sub-account within the non-pooled account, that is, the account that ends with “P” or “P1.” If you received ARRA funding, this is the account where ARRA funds were deposited.

You should continue to draw down funds from the previous fiscal year from your cash-pooled account, that is, the account that ends with “G” or “G1.”

You can request a payment from only one account at a time.

When requesting a payment from the P account, select the appropriate Head Start sub-account.

Head Start PMS Sub-Account Titles:

• Regions 1-10 grants sub-account title: HEAD-START
• AIAN grants sub-account title: HS-AIAN
• Migrant grants sub-account title: HEAD-START-MIGRANT
• CDI grants sub-account title: HEAD-START-CDI
• State collaboration grants sub-account title: HS-STATE-COLLAB

You will have to complete two separate reports for the SF 425: one for FY 2012 funds, using the G account, and one for FY 2013 funds, using the P sub-account.

For additional assistance, please contact the HSES Help Desk.
