FEC introduces online payment option for administrative fine program
The Commission is now accepting online payments for administrative fines. Respondents in Administrative Fine Program (AFP) cases now have the option of remitting payment by automated clearing house (ACH) withdrawal from a bank account, or by debit or credit card through Pay.gov, the federal government's secure portal for online collections. Staff in the Commission’s Reports Analysis Division and Office of Administrative Review will be available to help respondents submit online payments and to update them on the status of their payments. This added convenience was created through a collaboration of the Commission and the Department of the Treasury's Bureau of the Fiscal Service.
Please visit the new https://www.fec.gov/legal-resources/enforcement/administrative-fines/#paying-a-fine to view the available payment options and be directed to Pay.gov's AFP payment application.
