Pay.gov will conduct software maintenance on Saturday, May 9, 2026, starting at 5:00 p.m., according to a May 6 announcement. The maintenance is expected to last three hours and may cause all Pay.gov websites to be unavailable during this period.
This temporary outage will affect users of the Case Management/Electronic Case Files (CM/ECF) system who need to make payments through Pay.gov. Those attempting to file electronically should be aware that payment services might not be accessible while the maintenance is underway.
Users experiencing issues are advised to contact the Clerk’s office on Monday morning, May 11, if they require assistance after the scheduled work concludes.
The announcement highlights routine updates aimed at maintaining and improving service reliability for users who depend on Pay.gov for electronic payments related to federal case management systems.
