Getting Started

The Payment Activity Report (PAR) is a report that summarizes Payment 

Automation Manager (PAM) payment data which has been vetted against 

Social Security Administration (SSA) Death Master File (DMF), American 

InfoSource (AIS) Obituary and Probate, Department of Defense, and 

Department of State data sources during Payment Integration (or at the time of 

payment). The PAR also summarizes the adjudication status of matches by 

Agency Location Code (ALC).

No, only agencies with Do Not Pay (DNP) access and only those agencies that 

submit PAM payments will have data populated in their reports.

Select the Report icon ( ) from the navigation pane on the left side of the 

screen. Select the “Payment Activity Report” button.

The PAR report will update at the end of the first day of the month and display 

information from two months prior. For example, August data will be available 

to view on October 2 and September data will be available on November 2.

Yes, a PDF version of the report is available to save and print. The PDF version 

displays a summary page followed by matches based by Agency Location 

Codes.

Agencies use information provided in the PAR to satisfy financial reporting 

requirements mandated by Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Circular 

No. A-136 Section II.

You can see FY results by November 2 after the Adjudication Summary Report 

for September payments is automatically submitted by DNP.

It is possible (although rare) for submissions to be made without payments. 

Only submissions with payments will be displayed in the PAR.
