It is mandatory for all payees to receive their monthly allowance through direct deposit to their financial institution. Payments are issued on the last business day of each month. Funds post immediately to the payee’s bank account. For payees with a direct deposit waiver on file, the dates for mailed checks also are listed.
Payees receiving direct deposit will be mailed an advice slip only in January, July and in any month in which there is a change to their net payment amount, financial institution account number or routing number.

To change the bank or the bank account where your monthly retirement allowance is deposited, you must complete and submit a Direct Deposit Authorization (Form 85).
You must enclose a voided check, deposit slip, page 1 of your bank statement or a letter signed by a bank representative as proof of your account. All documents must include your full name and full account number.
We cannot accept handwritten information as proof of your account (ex: starter checks).
