The Prompt Payment Act is codified in which Title and section?

• A. Title 31, 3900
• B. Title 31, 3902
• C. Title 41, 3902
• D. Title 5, 4501-4507

Answer: (B)

The concept being tested is where the Prompt Payment Act is located in the United States Code. The act is codified in Title 31 of the United States Code, at section 3902. This keeps the statutory requirements for timely payments and for paying interest on late payments within the same title that covers federal financial management. The other options place the act in the wrong title or range, so they don’t reflect the official codification.
