In keeping with the fast pay requirements, we also suggested that the system designs include procedures to identify first time vendors and vendors with a history of abusing fast pay.These vendors would not be eligible to participate in fast pay until the agency had satisfied itself that those vendors were worthy businesses that could be paid under fast pay.
All vendors who applied, including first time vendors or vendors with a bad history, would be eligible fast pay until enough indicators of abuse came to the agency's attention.
