Vendor Payments

CAO Office of Accounting

The House of Representatives requires a valid taxpayer identification number (TIN) from each vendor doing business with the House prior to issuing a payment or apply a 24 percent backup withholding on payments to vendors that do not provide a valid TIN.

The U.S. House of Representatives, in compliance with the Debt Collection Improvement Act of 1996, shall make payments to vendors via Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT). Current House procurement terms and conditions include this requirement.

To ensure prompt receipt of your payment, please complete the Payee/Company Information and Financial Institution Information in Sections II and III of the Substitute W-9 and ACH Vendor/Miscellaneous Payment Enrollment Form. The form must be signed and dated in Section IV.

The form may be

  • faxed to 202-225-6914,

  • mailed to:

    U.S. House of Representatives
