What’s New

Due to the passage of House Bill 208 of the 153rd General Assembly, the use of checks for payments to CRF awardees has been eliminated. It is highly encouraged that all CRF recipients select ACH (Automated Clearing House), also known as direct deposit, as a payment option. This will provide payment directly to the bank account provided through the State of Delaware's Division of Accounting’s eSupplier Portal with no associated fees for payments transmitted.

The eSupplier Portal allows CRF awardees to manage their payment information. The Division of Accounting website provides additional information regarding the two payment options the State of Delaware offers.
