The estimated average burden associated with this collection of information is 10 minutes per respondent or recordkeeper, 

depending on individual circumstances. Comments concerning the accuracy of this burden estimates and suggestions for 

reducing this burden should be directed to the Bureau of the Fiscal Service, Forms Management Officer, Parkersburg, WV

26106-1328.

 All information on this form, including the individual claim number, is required under 31 USC 3322, 31 CFR 209 and/

or 210. The information is confidential and is needed to prove entitlement to payments. The information will be used to 

process payment data from the Federal agency to the financial institution and/or its agent. Failure to provide the requested 

information may affect the processing of this form and may delay or prevent the receipt of payments through the Direct 

Deposit/Electronic Funds Transfer Program.

 Most of the information needed to complete boxes 

A, C, and F in Section 1 is printed on your government 

check:

 Joint account holders should immediately advise both the Government agency and the financial institution of the death 

of a beneficiary. Funds deposited after the date of death or ineligibility, except for salary payments, are to be returned to the 

Government agency. The Government agency will then make a determination regarding survivor rights, calculate survivor 

benefit payments, if any, and begin payments.

 The agreement represented by this authorization remains in effect until cancelled by the recipient by notice to the 

Federal agency or by the death or legal incapacity of the recipient. Upon cancellation by the recipient, the recipient should 

notify the receiving financial institution that he/she is doing so.

 The agreement represented by this authorization may be cancelled by the financial institution by providing the recipient 

a written notice 30 days in advance of the cancellation date. The recipient must immediately advise the Federal agency if 

the authorization is cancelled by the financial institution. The financial institution cannot cancel the authorization by advice 

to the Government agency.

 The payee’s Direct Deposit will continue to be received by the selected financial institution until the Government 

agency is notified by the payee that the payee wishes to change the financial institution receiving the Direct Deposit. To 

effect this change, the payee will contact the paying agency with updated financial information. It is recommended that the 

payee maintain accounts at both financial institutions until the transaction is complete, i.e. after the new financial institution 

receives the payee’s Direct Deposit payment. 

 Federal law provides a fine of not more than $10,000 or imprisonment for not more than five (5) years or both for 

presenting a false statement or making a fraudulent claim.

Be sure that payee’s name is written exactly as it appears 

on the check. Be sure current address is shown.

information will be disclosed to the Department of the Treasury and its fiscal and financial agents, and other federal agencies, 

as necessary to process your direct deposit. This information may also be disclosed to a court, congressional committee 

or another government agency as authorized or required to verify your receipt of federal payments. Although providing the 

requested information is voluntary, your direct deposit cannot be processed without it.
