1 PURPOSE
This regulation revises Departmental policy for distribution of employee salary checks. Departmental Regulation 2610-1, dated October 4, 1985, is cancelled.
2 BACKGROUND
On August 20, 1986, and September 17, 1986, the Treasury Department notified USDA that in April 1987 it would discontinue delivery of salary checks to multiple designated agents.
3 POLICY
a After April 1, 1987, no USDA salary checks will be delivered by designated agents to employees at their work sites.
b Before April 1, 1987, current employees and new hires must be instructed to choose either direct deposit of their salary (Form SF-1199A) or mailing of the check to an address (Form AD-349). Agencies should discourage employees who attempt to list their office or work site as a mailing address on Form AD-349.
c Agencies must not designate new agents to receive and deliver salary checks. As current designated agents become inactive, the Office of Finance and Management will revoke their designations.
