SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Summary of Information Collection
The Personal Check Cashing Agreement Form is designed exclusively
to help the DoD disbursing offices expedite the collection process of
dishonored checks. The front of the form will be completed and signed
by the authorized individual requesting check cashing privileges. By
signing the form, the individual is freely and voluntarily consenting
to the immediate collection from their current pay, without prior
notice, for the face value of any check cashed, plus any charges
assessed against the government by a financial institution, in the
event the check is dishonored. In the event the check is dishonored,
the disbursing office will complete and certify the reverse side of the
form and forward the form to the applicable payroll office for
collection from the individual's current pay.
