Centralized Receivables Service


Centralized Receivables Service (CRS) helps federal agencies manage their accounts receivable – money owed to the agency from individuals, businesses, and states.

CRS focuses on collecting current, non-tax, administrative debts prior to delinquency.

How Does CRS Help Federal Agencies?

  • Increased Collections – Get payments faster with prompt invoicing, follow-up, and access to electronic options.
  • Reduced Costs – Drive down costs through standardized and automated services.
  • Transparency – Get high quality and more visible data.
  • Compliance – CRS assures agencies comply with Federal Claims Collection Standards, Debt Collection Improvement Act, and other Treasury and debt collection laws and guidance.
  • Improved Business Processes – CRS offers standard yet flexible workflows that allow for improvement of current business processes.
