PART 208_MANAGEMENT OF FEDERAL AGENCY DISBURSEMENTS--Table of Contents

 

Sec.  208.7  Agency responsibilities.



    (a) An agency shall disclose to each individual who is eligible to 

receive a Federal benefit, wage, salary, or retirement payment and who 

is not already receiving payment by electronic funds transfer the 

individual's rights and obligations under Sec. Sec.  208.3, 208.4(a) and 

208.5 of this part, unless payment by electronic funds transfer is not 

required pursuant to any provision of subsections (b) through (g) of 

Sec.  208.4.

    (1) Prior to the date the ETA \SM\ becomes available, the disclosure 

shall be in a form substantially similar to the model disclosure set 

forth in appendix A of this part.

    (2) On and after the date the ETA \SM\ becomes available, the 

disclosure shall be in a form substantially similar to the model 

disclosure set forth in appendix B of this part.

    (b) An agency shall put into place procedures that allow recipients 

to indicate that the recipient elects to have payment deposited by 

electronic funds transfer to an account held by the recipient at a 

financial institution. In addition, an agency may put into place 

procedures to request that individuals who are invoking a hardship 

waiver under Sec.  208.4(a) indicate, in writing or orally, that a 

hardship waiver has been invoked. However, an agency may not delay or 

withhold payment if a recipient does not respond to such a request.
