Direct Deposit Now Available for Posts
The Department is looking to improve the current monthly process for issuing Post credit checks since the threshold has been lowered from $100.00 to $25.00, Department Adjutant James Casey announced.
“We hope to begin making monthly electronic payments by directly depositing credit amounts of $25.00+ into the bank accounts of those Posts who have met that threshold. Our hope is that all Posts will participate in this initiative as it will ensure that money due to you is deposited quickly, as well as eliminating the handling and delays of a mailed check.”
In order to facilitate this process, Post treasurers are encouraged to complete the direct-depost authorization form and return to Department Headquarters at their earliest convenience.
