The "Debt Collection Improvement Act of 1996"
requires Federal payments to be made by EFT
beginning January 1, 1999. If you do not have an
account at a financial institution you will receive
an automatic waiver from the EFT requirement until
the Treasury Department provides notice that an
account meeting its specifications is available to
you. Once these accounts are available, you will be
able to decide whether you wish to sign up for one
of those accounts or continue to receive a paper
check. In addition, you may chose to continue
receiving paper checks for other reasons.
-
You will be eligible for a financial hardship
waiver if receiving direct deposit will cost you
more than receiving a check.
-
If you have a physical or mental disability, or a
geographic, language, or literacy barrier you will
be eligible for a waiver from the EFT
requirements.
We would like
to emphasize that no payment will be withheld or
delayed for any reason related to the implementation
of EFT.
