The only copy of this that you will need to worry
about is the GOVERNMENT AGENCY COPY. But when you are done, make a
copy of your completed form for your own records, and keep a blank
copy in case you ever need to change your bank account in the future.
Boxes A and B : Fill in with YOUR name, address and phone number
Box C : Disregard the "prefix" and "suffix"
and just enter your Social Security number Box D : Check either
checking or savings (I would suggest CHECKING so you can attach
a check with the tracking number and bank name on it.) Box E : Enter
the account number for that account Box F : CHECK "OTHER"
AND WRITE "TRAVEL" ON THE LINE
Box G : It is thought that this is if you have a percentage of your
earnings that MUST be sent to someone else. (ie. Alimony, etc) If
this is the case, you might want to e-mail
Kirsten for clarification. PAYEE/JOINT PAYEE CERTIFICATION:
Sign and date (THIS AREA MUST BE
SIGNED)
JOINT ACCOUNT HOLDERS' CERTIFICATION: Have joint account holder
sign and date.
SECTION 2 : Government agency would be FEMA. Don't enter an address,
they will do that for you. SECTION 3 : Just attach a voided check
and you don't have to do anything with this. And you DON'T have
to take this to your financial institution.
A SUGGESTION THAT I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE IS AFTER YOU HAVE COMPLETED
THIS FORM, MAKE A COPY OF THE FORM AND PLACE IT AND A VOIDED CHECK
IN YOUR DEPLOYMENT BAG OR WITH YOUR UNIFORMS SO YOU HAVE IT WHEN
DEPLOYED. MANY TIMES YOU WILL NEED TO COMPLETE ONE OF THESE FORMS
AGAIN WHEN YOU ARE DEPLOYED. HAVING THIS ONE WITH YOU WILL: a) MAKE
IT MUCH EASIER TO FILL THAT ONE OUT, AND b) MAKE SURE YOU PUT THE
EXACT SAME INFORMATION ON THE NEW ONE SO THERE ISN'T ANYTHING THAT
WOULD DIFFER FROM THE ONE ON RECORD AND POSSIBLY SLOW DOWN YOUR
PAY.
