APPENDIX C-SINGLE LETTER OF CREDIT RECIPIENTS AND CENTRAL POINT ADDRESSES 1 Central Registry System Entity Identification Number (CRS-EIN). CRS-EIN is a 12-digit number used to identify a recipient organization/individual in the HEW Central Registry System (CRS). This system utilizes a standard identification number within HEW to identify recipients of Federal assistance-like programs. The first digit identifies whether the recipient is an organization (1) or individual (2). The next "9" digits uniquely associate the organization/individual to an employer identification number assigned by the Internal Revenue Service in the case of an organization or a social security number assigned by the Social Security Administration in the case of an individual. A two-character suffix code is assigned by the Central Registry System, HEW, to identify component levels within the recipient organization, such as: School of Medicine, Research Division, Department of Biology, etc. A suffix is not applied to a social security number since that number is unique to each individual.
