§ 527.22 - Sponsor responsibility.

(a) Sponsors may be held liable for acts of family members when a family member uses their dependent ID card and their sponsor's SSN for check cashing. If a family member commits an offense under these conditions, the sponsor may then be placed on the dishonored checklist. The family member may be placed on the dishonored checklist in their own right if they used a civilian ID card with their own SSN as identification and the check becomes dishonored.

(b) Sponsors who wish to disclaim responsibility for dishonored checks written by family members may do so by filing a letter of disclaimer with the ICCO. (See fig. 2-1 for a sample letter.) This letter announces a sponsor's voluntary withdrawal of responsibility for acts of family members. It will be updated annually. Absence of a disclaimer does not prove agency relationship between sponsor and family members.

(c) Some facilities may deny check-cashing privileges to family members of sponsors who have filed a letter of disclaimer. The sponsor will inform family members of this denial.
