Description

0 (Disbursed) Issued The PAM payment matched against a PIIA required data source 

in DNP remains active, and requires adjudication.

3 (Non-Disbursed) Stopped A payment that is stopped, unrelated to, or because of a 

conclusive match in DNP. Office of Personnel Management 

(OPM) is the only agency with a “stop list” implemented within 

DNP; additional agencies may be included in the future.

5 (Non-Disbursed) Invalid A payment fails the PAM validation and, therefore, is not 

processed.

7 (Disbursed Offset) Issued The PAM payment was matched against a PIIA required data 

source in DNP, remains active, and requires adjudication.

9 (Disbursed) Unknown The payment is treated as “Issued,” and is thought to be a 

potential match against the Office of Foreign Assets Control 

(OFAC).

N/A Pending The brief time frame when a PAM payment is “Submitted” but 

hasn’t yet been processed by PAM. The payment matches will 

appear in DNP with a “Pending” Status based on the initial 

PAM Payment file (Screening/Mini) that is sent to DNP. Once 

the final PAM payment file Standard Reporting Format (SRF) is 

received by DNP, the Payment Status will be updated 

accordingly.

DNP receives a numeric Disbursement Code from PAM which is translated into the DNP 

PAM Payment Status Code within the DNP portal. The Payment Status denotes the 

pending or end state of the PAM Payment.
