The Wisconsin Department of Revenue (DOR) would like to remind each Wisconsin non-entitlement unit of government (NEU) to review and confirm key information that we will provide to the U.S. Department of the Treasury (Treasury) by today, ​Friday, July 15, 2022.

Each WI NEU received two payments (2021 and 2022) under the American Rescue Plan Act – State and Local Fiscal Recovery funds (ARPA-SLFRF). As an NEU official, we are asking for your assistance to ensure your municipality's information is current and accurate. DOR will provide the information to Treasury for ARPA-SLFRF purposes.

Reminder – Renew Your SAM.gov Registration Annually

  • On April 4, 2022, the federal government stopped using the DUNS Number to identify entities. Instead, entities should use the UEI number created in SAM.gov.
  • If you are registered in SAM.gov – your UEI number is already assigned and is viewable
  • New SAM.gov registrants – are assigned a UEI number as part of their registration
  • Refer to the Entity Validation Document guide and checklist for assistance with renewing your registration

UEI Backlog in SAM.gov

  • It's important to note – there is a backlog issue associated with the SAM.gov UEI transition process
  • New registrants should start the process well ​in advance of next April's reporting deadline
  • Entities with SAM.gov registrations expiring in the next 190 days should start now to renew
