What is a Payee Information Form (PIF) and who must fill them out?
As of April 1994, all vendors except UT employees must have a Payee Information Form on file with UT Austin before a payment can be made. A PIF is required to certify social security numbers for individual payees. A PIF should be submitted to the Purchasing Office along with a copy of the payee’s social security card or a photocopy of the payee’s driver license, passport, or other photo identification.
