Why is a W-9 required now?

Modified on Thu, Feb 1 at 10:17 AM

As a state-funded program, the W-9 is required for our team to verify we are awarding grant funding to the correct legal entity. Our finance team also utilizes the W-9 to confirm that the business name and Federal Employer Identification Number (FEIN) lines up correctly with the company information that Commonwealth Corporation has on file. 

W-9s should list the full legal name of the business, include the business’s Federal Employer Identification Number (FEIN), and be signed by an authorized company signatory. 

You may use the same Form W-9 on multiple applications, provided all information on the form is still up to date.
