PROOF OF PAYMENT CERTIFICATION INSTRUCTIONS
Use the instructions below to complete the Proof of Payment Certification Form. This form can be
used by the claimant in lieu of providing alternative documentation as adequate proof of payment
(i.e., copies of cancelled checks, etc.) to verify that their services/goods provider(s) have been paid.
All sections of the form must be complete in order for the form to be accepted by the Fund.
The Proof of Payment Certification Form can be obtained from the Fund’s web site at:
(NOTE: This form is the Fund’s preferred method of proof of payment documentation.)
Section A (Claim Information) – Enter the claim’s information in this section. This information
should match exactly the claim’s information on the Reimbursement Request Form. Failure to
include the correct information will result in the form being rejected.
Section B1 (Payment Detail Table) – Enter the payor name, check number, check date, check
amount, invoice number, invoice amount, amount paid to the invoice, and RR No (if known). The
“Payor Name” is the account holder’s name listed on the check. The “Amount Paid to Invoice” is
the amount of the check being applied to the invoice listed. All invoices must be paid by or on
behalf of the claimant pursuant to an on-behalf-of agreement previously submitted and approved
by the UST Cleanup Fund.
Section B2 (Payment Detail Spreadsheet) – If the Payment Detail Table in section C1 is not
sufficient to list each check, attach a spreadsheet with the claimant name, claim number, site
address, and provider name in the header and the payment details with columns showing the
payor name, check number, check date, check amount, invoice number, invoice date, invoice
amount, amount paid to the invoice, and RR No (if known).

certify that the information contained on this form is complete and accurate. The person signing
