CHAPTER 14

LIMITED DEPOSITARY CHECKING ACCOUNTS

1401 INTRODUCTION

Ë 140101. Authority. In situations where the Department of the Treasury’s international

payment system (ITS.gov) will not support mission requirements, disbursing officers (DOs) may

maintain official limited depositary checking accounts (LDAs) for check or electronic funds transfer

(EFT) payments in foreign currency with banks designated as “Depositaries of Public Moneys of the

U.S.” by the Department of the Treasury (Treasury). Except for LDAs in U.S. dollars established

under Title 10, United States Code, Section 127 (10 U.S.C. 127) for Intelligence Contingency Fund

(ICF) purposes, LDAs in U.S. dollars may not be established unless specific authority is first obtained

from the Director for Accounting and Finance Policy, Office of the Under Secretary of Defense

(Comptroller), through the Director, Defense Finance and Accounting Service-Indianapolis (DFAS-

IN), ATTN: DFAS-NPD/IN, 8899 E. 56th Street, Column 329F, Indianapolis, IN 46249-0500.

140102. Selecting Limited Depositaries (LDs). Treasury selects financial institutions

to maintain U.S. Government operating accounts per 31 U.S.C. 3303 based on obtaining the most

beneficial banking arrangement available to the U.S. Government to transact its business, giving

preference to American financial institutions unless a local bank’s arrangement is more

advantageous to the U.S. The DO confers with the local U.S. Embassy or Consulate for assistance

in determining which banks meet the criteria for consideration to maintain an account. When

anticipating the establishment of a new LDA, the DO solicits all American-owned and leading

local financial institutions in the area to determine which would offer the most beneficial

arrangement. This solicitation process must be competitive with all banks submitting written

information on identical questionnaires or requests for (banking) proposals. In determining the

most beneficial banking arrangement, the DO considers, in descending order of importance, (1)

standard operating services minimally required; (2) customary local banking practices (e.g., telex

cost or armored car service); and (3) other special services that may be necessary in a particular

country or circumstance (e.g., payment of interest on the account, waiver of miscellaneous

charges). The required services must include:

A. capability to honor payments to payees in outlying areas;

B. processing of checks and, if possible, EFTs and deposits;

C. provision of a daily or a monthly bank statement as needed; and

D. acceptance of the DO’s funding procedures.

The DO ensures the bank is a valid, financially-secure, dependable, and reliable financial

institution to avoid losses and ensure the protection of U.S. Government funds. Unsolicited

proposals from financial institutions to operate an existing LDA may be received any time, and

the LDA is open to all interested financial institutions if the DO determines that one of them

14-3

DoD Financial Management Regulation Volume 5, Chapter 14

ËMarch 2009

either offers a more beneficial banking arrangement than currently received, or reflects a higher

level of American ownership than the present LD.

Ë 140103. Requesting LDAs

. Once the DO selects an LD (if other than a contract

military banking facility (MBF), he/she formally requests approval and designation of that institution

as an authorized LD from Treasury. Send the request for approval and designation of a LDA through

the Director, DFAS-IN, ATTN: DFAS-NPD/IN, 8900 East 56

St., Indianapolis, IN 46249-0500 to

the Financial Management Service, Department of the Treasury, Over-the-Counter Revenue

Collection Division, 401 14th Street, S.W., Room 324 Washington, D.C. 20227 for approval.

A. Requests for U.S. dollar accounts must include documentation indicating

that the DO requested and received a commitment to pledge collateral from the bank suggested for

selection. If the bank agrees to pledge collateral, then the DO may request a U.S. dollar operating

account; otherwise, the DO may request only a U.S. dollar zero-balance account.

B. Include in a requests for an LDA –

1. the disbursing station symbol number (DSSN);

2. the justification for the account, to include the reason(s) why

ITS.gov will not support mission requirements;

3. the location;

4. the name of the currency;

5. the criteria for determining the preferred bank and reasons for

recommending its selection (i.e., results of the competitive process);

6. the name of the bank to be designated (regardless of possible

previous designation);

7. the bank address;

8. the name and title of bank official and telephone number(s);

9. the percentage of ownership by a U.S. bank;

10. the name of the correspondent bank in the U.S., the account

number, and a point of contact (name, title, and telephone number); and

11. a statement of compliance with subparagraphs 140101 – 140103 of

this chapter, or reasons for non-compliance.

C. DOs immediately notify Treasury’s Over-the-Counter Revenue Collection

Division through DFAS-NPD/IN upon learning of a significant event that affects the designated

14-4

DoD Financial Management Regulation Volume 5, Chapter 14

ËMarch 2009

bank (e.g., bank closure).

1402 ESTABLISHMENT OF LIMITED DEPOSITARY CHECKING ACCOUNTS

140201. Establishment Procedure. Once Treasury approves a request, establish the

LDA in the name of the activity to which the DO is assigned. Limit authority to sign checks

drawn on the LDA to the DO and other deputies or agents that the DO appoints. When a DO

transacts business in multiple foreign currencies, establish and maintain a separate LDA for

each.

140202. Letter of Authorization. The commander certifies by letter the name and

rank of the DO assigned to the activity, stating that the DO is authorized to maintain an LDA(s)

with official funds of the United States in the name of the activity. When a deputy disbursing

officer (DDO) works for a centralized DO, the commander’s letter identifies the DDO that will

maintain the account. The letter –

A. certifies that the account is subject to checks issued by the DO, other

appointed DDOs, and his or her successors in office;

B. contains specimens of the DO’s and authorized DDOs’ signatures, and a

certification that the signatures are those of the personnel authorized to transact business with the

LDA; and

C. requests the bank to acknowledge acceptance by endorsement of the letter,

in triplicate. The bank should retain the original letter and return two copies to the activity.

140203. Blank Limited Depositary Checks

A. Procurement. LDA checks are not available through the U.S. Treasury

check contract. Order them from the bank maintaining the LDA.

B. Print Order Requirements

. Request LDA checks in continuous form

format for mechanized systems. The checks must be overprinted to provide the serial number of

the check, name of the activity, any limited-payability notices as may apply in the foreign nation,

and information necessary for security and accounting for check issues.

C. Cost. Charge the procurement cost of blank LDA checks to the disbursing

activity’s operating funds.

D. Security

. Control and safeguard blank LDA checks in a manner similar to

that prescribed for U.S. Treasury checks in Chapter 7

of this volume. If LDA checks are lost or

stolen, then the DO immediately notifies the LD of the serial numbers of those checks, place stop

14-5

DoD Financial Management Regulation Volume 5, Chapter 14

ËMarch 2009

payments against them, and submit copies of the stop-payment requests with the next original

LDA reports.

E. Relief of DO

. Transfer unused LDA checks to the relieving officer, with

no change in serial numbers, for his/her use.

F. LDA No Longer Required

. When a LDA is no longer required or when a

disbursing office is deactivated, void all unused blank LDA checks and destroy them; see section

1404 of this chapter and Chapter 8 of this volume.

1403 MAINTAINING A LIMITED DEPOSITARY CHECKING ACCOUNT

140301. Preparation of LD Checks

A. General

. Prepare LD checks by typewriter or automated check writing

equipment, if available.

B. Record of Check Issues. DOs maintain a record of every LD check

issued. The record includes payee names, voucher numbers, amounts (in the currency of the

check), check serial numbers, check dates, and activity name under which the account is

established. Other information as to the purpose for which checks are issued and local

identification codes are optional at the issuing DO’s discretion. The record may be on paper or

in media designed for data processing use, e.g., diskette, or compact disk. Keep a separate

record for each LDA. Include records of check issues with retained disbursing records.

140302. Disbursement Vouchers. When a payment is made by LD check, enter the

notation “LDA Check No. ,” on the disbursement voucher. Although a receipt is not generally

required for a payment made by check, local laws may prohibit LD checks drawn outside the

U.S. from being returned to the drawer. In these cases, show evidence of receipt of the payment

on the voucher on which a LD check payment appears in one of these ways:

A. Signature on Original Voucher

. Submit the original voucher as a part of

the financial reports for the month of payment.

B. Periodic Statements from Depositary

. Periodic statements from the LD

listing the paid checks by number and amount, certified by an officer of the bank and the DO, are

satisfactory evidence of payment. The certificate of the bank should be to the effect: “I certify

that the above is a true and correct list of all checks paid by this bank and charged to the account

shown in the heading during the period covered by this statement and that the originals of the

checks are on file in this bank and will be held for

years.” The DO certifies to the

reconciliation of the bank statement with the disbursing records.

140303. Delivery of Checks

. See Chapter 8 of this volume. Before mailing any

LD checks outside the country in which the LD is located, the DO verifies that such action is not

prohibited by the Status of Forces Agreements or the banking laws of the countries involved.

14-6

DoD Financial Management Regulation Volume 5, Chapter 14

ËMarch 2009

140304. Irregularity After Delivery of Checks. When an irregularity occurs after

check delivery and the check is still outstanding, stop payment of the check. Provide a complete

report of the facts with the request for stoppage. If the irregularity is discovered after payment of

the check, then the DO notifies the depositary of the irregularity.

140305. Interest on Deposits. In certain cases, LDs pay interest on checking

accounts. When possible, the DO obtains interest on the LDA. The DO canvasses the market to

obtain the highest interest rate legally available and commensurate with disbursing requirements,

and is responsible for monitoring the interest-bearing accounts to ensure that interest is being

paid on a timely basis following agreements between the DO and the banks. Upon notification

that interest has been credited to the account, the DO prepares a Cash Collection Voucher

(Department of Defense (DD) Form 1131

) crediting **3220, General Fund Proprietary

Receipts, Not Otherwise Classified, All Other, for the U.S. dollar equivalent of the interest, and

records the transaction as both a collection and an increase of cash on deposit in the LDA.

140306. Account Balances

. Do not use LDA balances (or the forfeiture of potential

interest earnings on the account) to subsidize banking services that otherwise would be funded

through the appropriation process. Keep daily LDA balances as near zero as possible. Otherwise,

maintain the LDA balance solely to support disbursing requirements. If the collection of foreign

currency causes a noninterest bearing LDA to exceed 5- to 7-business-day supply and all

attempts to sell the currencies to other DOs are exhausted, then the DO sells the foreign currency

for U.S. dollars for deposit to a bank designated as General Depositary for the Treasury.

140307. Review of LDAs

A. Commanders’ Review. Commanders require a review of LDAs

maintained by DOs to ensure compliance with the requirements of this volume. The cash

verification team (see Chapter 3 of this volume) performs this review quarterly (unannounced),

upon transfer of accountability to a successor DO, upon deactivation of the LDA, before

departure of the DO from the command, or upon a change in the designated settlement office.

B. DOs’ Review

. DOs review the LDA on a continuing basis to ensure that –

1. maintenance of account balances at the minimum necessary to

meet immediate disbursement needs (checks issued and in process) commensurate with the

activity in the LDA;

2. balances in excess of immediate needs (typically a 5- to 7-

business day supply) are promptly withdrawn and deposited with the Treasury;

3. the terms negotiated with the depositary are favorable to the

government, including interest on the account at the highest possible rate; and

4. at least every 3 years, for each account, the DO determines

if it may be cost effective to solicit competitive proposals from all American-owned and leading

14-7

DoD Financial Management Regulation Volume 5, Chapter 14

ËMarch 2009

local financial institutions in the area to secure the most beneficial banking agreement.

1404 VOIDED AND SPOILED LIMITED DEPOSITARY CHECKS

140401. General. Treat original LD checks that are not to be issued as voided or

spoiled. The DO maintaining the LDA accounts for all LD checks. Void checks because of

errors in writing the check (e.g., wrong name, amount.), withdrawal of the voucher by the

applicable entitlement area, or because the check is physically damaged during preparation.

Mark these checks conspicuously to prevent their negotiation, either in error or through fraud.

Prepare separate listings of voided and spoiled checks monthly and attach them to the Statement

of Designated Depositary Account (SF 1149).

140402. Voided Checks

. The functional area authorizing the payment of a voucher

may request voiding of a check. The DO’s decision is based on the payee’s nonentitlement to

the payment, or an error in the way the check is drawn. Do not report voided checks as issued in

the DO’s check report. Upon determination to void a payment, render a check nonnegotiable by

stamping, marking or writing the words, “VOID - NOT NEGOTIABLE, NO CHECK ISSUED

UNDER THIS NUMBER” on the face of the check in large prominent letters. Do not store

voided checks in the safe or vault of the DO or any deputies or agents. Prepare a listing of

voided checks, entitled “Voided Checks,” showing the accounting month, the name of the LD,

and the LDA number at the end of each month and forward it with the monthly SF 1149. Include

the originals of all voided checks with the listing.

140403. Spoiled Checks

. A DO issuing a check determines when to report a check

as spoiled, basing this decision on the physical appearance of the check, e.g., mutilated, torn, not

whole, smudged, or unreadable; or upon the discovery of an error in the preparation of the check,

e.g., voucher correct but the check data does not match the voucher. Prepare a separate listing of

spoiled checks, entitled “Spoiled Checks,” in check-number sequence at the end of each month,

showing the accounting month, the name of the LD, and the LDA number. Send the listing and

the original spoiled checks with the monthly SF 1149. Replace a spoiled check with another

serially-numbered check, using the next available check. Except for the check serial number and

the check issue date, enter the same information that appeared on the original check. Date the

replacement check on its issue date. Render the original check nonnegotiable by writing,

marking, or stamping “SPOILED – NOT NEGOTIABLE, REPLACEMENT ISSUED UNDER

CHECK NO. DATED ____” on the face of the check. Inscribe “Issued to Replace Check

No.

” on every replacement check in the lower left-hand corner of the face of the check.

Show this same information on the detailed record of checks issued.

1405 TRANSFERRING PROCEEDS OF LIMITED DEPOSITARY CHECKS

140501. General

. Occurrences after a LD check has been issued may require

transferring the check proceeds to Treasury or the original appropriation. The most frequent

occurrence of transferring the proceeds of LD checks is when outstanding check amounts are

transferred to Treasury as uncurrent. An uncurrent LD check is one that has not been negotiated

through the LD one fiscal year after the fiscal year after its issuance. The transfer of LD check

14-8

DoD Financial Management Regulation Volume 5, Chapter 14

ËMarch 2009

proceeds may be due to undeliverable checks or checks due deceased or incompetent payees.

140502. Uncurrent Check Transfers. The DO who issued the original check, the

successor to that DO, or a settlement officer designated by the supporting DFAS site transfers

proceeds of uncurrent checks to Treasury each October, but follows the laws of the nation in

which the LDA is located if they provide that the negotiable period of a check is less than one

full fiscal year after the date of issue.

A. Open Limited Depositary Accounts

1. Preparation of Check Listing. Prepare a separate check listing in

an original and four copies for each LDA, with a heading showing the DO’s name and location

and the name and location of the LD. Include the uncurrent LD checks in ascending numerical

order on each listing, showing each check’s issue date, check number, name of the payee, check

amount in the check’s currency, and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the check when it was issued

(as shown on the payment voucher). Show the total amount of foreign currency units and the

total U.S. dollar equivalent of all checks on the listing. Transfer the total U.S. dollar equivalent

at the time the checks were issued to Treasury account, 20X6045, Proceeds and Payment of

Certain Unpaid Checks.

2. Stop Payment Notice to LD. The DO immediately gives a copy of

the uncurrent check listing to the LD and requests that it place stop payments on all checks on it.

Instruct the LD to advise all payees presenting checks shown on the listing to submit the checks

to the disbursing office for transmittal to and settlement by the Credit Accounting Branch,

Financial Management Service, Department of the Treasury 3700 East-West Highway, PG

Metro Center II, Room 6D32, Hyattsville, MD 20872.

3. Method of Transfer. The DO prepares Journal Voucher (JV)

(Optional Form (OF) 1017-G) as the basis to purchase the amount of foreign currency

represented by the outstanding checks, and then completes the purchase by issuing a U.S.

Treasury check payable to the Department of the Treasury for the U.S. dollar equivalent shown

on the check listing. Include a complete explanation of the transaction on the JV giving the date,

check serial number, and DSSN of the activity issuing the U.S. Treasury check. The JV supports

the increase in the LDA checkbook balance. Report the transaction on line 6 of the SF 1149.

Attach a copy of the JV to the uncurrent check listing and forwarded it with the U.S. Treasury

check to the Department of the Treasury; see subparagraph 140502.A.5 of this chapter.

4. Accounting for the Transfer

a. Report the U.S. Treasury check in the daily business as

“Checks Issued on U.S. Treasury.”

b. Increase “Cash on Deposit in Designated Depositary” in

the same U.S. dollar amount as the U.S. Treasury check.

c. Increase the LDA checkbook balance by the total amount

14-9

DoD Financial Management Regulation Volume 5, Chapter 14

ËMarch 2009

of foreign currency units shown on the check listing.

d. Compute the current U.S. dollar equivalent of the LDA

checkbook balance (including the foreign currency units added above) using the current rate of

exchange.

e. Compare the computed total U.S. dollar equivalent of the

LDA checkbook balance to the total U.S. dollar equivalent shown as “Cash on Deposit in

Designated Depositary.”

f. Voucher any difference in total U.S. dollar equivalents as a

gain or loss by exchange transaction on a DD Form 1131 or SF 1034, (Public Voucher for

Purchases and Services Other Than Personal) (as appropriate) against **6763, Gains and

Deficiencies on Exchange Transactions, and recorded in the day’s business as either a collection

or a disbursement, increasing or decreasing (as applicable) “Cash on Deposit in Designated

Depositary.”

5. Distribution of Documents. Distribute the uncurrent check listing,

OF 1017-G, and the DD Form 1131 or SF 1034.

a. Send the original and one copy of the uncurrent check

listing, a copy of the OF 1017-G, and the U.S. Treasury check to the Credit Accounting Branch,

Financial Management Service, Department of the Treasury.

b. Send a copy of the uncurrent check listing to the LD.

c. Attach one copy each of the uncurrent check listing, the OF

1017-G, and the DD Form 1131 or SF 1034 to the SF 1149.

d. File one copy of each of the uncurrent check listing, the OF

1017-G, and the DD Form 1131 or SF 1034 in the DO’s retained LDA records.

e. Include the original and appropriate number of copies of

the OF 1017-G and DD Form 1131 or SF 1034 with other vouchers supporting the Statement of

Accountability (SF 1219).

B. Closed Limited Depositary Accounts

. When outstanding (unpaid) checks

become uncurrent in a closed LDA, transfer the U.S. dollar equivalent to Treasury account

20X6045. The DO having jurisdiction over the closed account arranges with the LD for the

necessary transfer of funds from the closed LDA to the DO’s current LDA. After the LD

completes the transfer to the current account, the DO follows subparagraph 140502.A of this

chapter. If the closed account belonged to a predecessor DO or is part of the settlement account

for a closed disbursing station, then prepare one additional copy of the uncurrent check listing

for filing with the retained records of the closed disbursing station’s records, including on this

copy a reference to the disbursing office accomplishing the transfer and the date of transfer.

14-10

DoD Financial Management Regulation Volume 5, Chapter 14

ËMarch 2009

140503. Transferring the Proceeds of Undeliverable Checks

A. General

. This paragraph relates to the proceeds of undeliverable LD

checks still due the payee or the payee’s estate. Cancel LD checks returned as undeliverable and

are not due the payee or payee’s estate under section 1406 of this chapter.

B. Time Limit for Holding Undeliverable Checks

. Hold undeliverable LD

checks only until determination that the DO cannot deliver them with the information available.

Never hold undeliverable LDA checks longer than 60 days from the date of issue.

C. Record of Undeliverable Checks. The DO establishes a record of

undelivered LD checks using the Returned and Undeliverable Check/Bond Record

(DD Form 2658) that includes a complete identification of the check, the disbursement voucher

number, date the check was returned, disposition of the check, disbursing official authorizing

disposition, and date of disposition. The DO, principal deputy, or a third person authorized in

writing by the DO may approve disposition of undelivered checks.

D. Safekeeping Undeliverable Checks. Protect undeliverable LD checks held

in the disbursing office the same as cash. File them in an order best suited for ease of retrieval

and ready identification.

E. Disposition of the Proceeds of Undeliverable Checks Drawn on Open

Accounts. Credit the proceeds of undeliverable LDA checks (current as to date of issue) drawn

on an open LDA to the appropriation or fund charged for the original disbursement at the rate of

exchange in effect on the date of issue as shown by the payment voucher. Establish a payable to

allow for future settlement. Schedule undeliverable LD checks shall be scheduled on a Schedule

of Canceled or Undelivered Checks (SF 1098) showing the check number, month and year of

issue, name of payee, amount (U.S. dollar equivalent on date of issue), DSSN, and the

appropriation or fund to be credited. Account for each SF 1098 as a cash collection. To

maintain the DO’s accountability, increase “Cash on Deposit in Designated Depositary” in the

same U.S. dollar amount as the SF 1098. Increase the LDA checkbook balance by the total

amount of foreign currency units shown on the check. Compute the current U.S. dollar

equivalent of the LDA checkbook balance (including the foreign currency units added above)

using the current exchange rate. Compare the total U.S. dollar equivalent of the LDA checkbook

balance to the total U.S. dollar equivalent shown as “Cash on Deposit in Designated

Depositary.” Voucher any difference in total U.S. dollar equivalents as a gain or loss by

exchange transaction on a DD Form 1131 or SF 1034 (as appropriate) against **6763, and

record it in the day’s business as either a collection or disbursement, increasing or decreasing, as

appropriate, “Cash on Deposit in a Designated Depositary.” Update the record of outstanding

and undeliverable checks to reflect the disposition. At the time of disposition, render the checks

non-negotiable by writing, typing, or stamping on the face of the check, “NOT NEGOTIABLE,

PROCEEDS CREDITED IN GOVERNMENT ACCOUNTS, D.O. SYMBOL (DSSN)” to

prevent negotiation by unauthorized persons. Include the amount of the defaced checks on line 3

of the SF 1149. Send the canceled checks and one copy of the SF 1098 with the SF 1149 in the

14-11

DoD Financial Management Regulation Volume 5, Chapter 14

ËMarch 2009

same manner as voided and spoiled checks at the end of each month. Reproduce enough

additional copies of the SF 1098 to provide the functional area authorizing the original

disbursement a copy so they may establish a payable to handle future claims for the proceeds of

canceled undeliverable checks.

F. Disposition of the Proceeds of Undeliverable Checks Drawn on Closed

Accounts. If the LDA on which the undeliverable checks were drawn is closed, then the

successor DO or settlement officer notifies the LD that the checks are being canceled and

requests that the value of the checks be transferred to an open account if the DO maintains a

LDA, or that the LD transfer the funds to the DO by check payable to the DO by title. Once the

proceeds are transferred to the open account, the DO follows subparagraph 140503.E of this

chapter for undeliverable checks drawn on an open account. When the LD provides the proceeds

by check, the DO collects the check on a DD Form 1131 to the appropriation or fund charged

when the undeliverable check was issued, and does not prepare an SF 1098. Prepare the DD

Form 1131 at the rate of exchange in effect when the check was issued, as shown by the related

payment voucher. Record the DD Form 1131 in the DO’s accounts as a cash collection, and

account for any difference in the U.S. dollar value at the current rate of exchange and the rate of

exchange when the check is collected as a gain or loss by exchange. Upon disposition, render

the undelivered checks nonnegotiable by writing, typing, or stamping on the face of the check,

“NOT NEGOTIABLE, PROCEEDS CREDITED IN GOVERNMENT ACCOUNTS, D.O.

SYMBOL (DSSN)” to prevent unauthorized negotiation. Post the record of outstanding and

undeliverable checks in the former DO’s accounts to reflect their disposition. Send a copy of the

DD Form 1131 and the defaced checks with the SF 1149 to support the changes in the closed

LDA account at the end of the month. Send a copy of the DD Form 1131 to the applicable

functional area to enable it to establish the payable in the event of future claims for the proceeds

of the canceled undeliverable checks.

G. Undeliverable Checks Uncurrent as to Date of Issue. Send uncurrent

undeliverable checks that come to the disbursing office, the proceeds of which have been

transferred to Treasury account 20X6045 and for which no current claim has been presented,

directly to the Credit Accounting Branch, Financial Management Service, Department of the

Treasury. Process uncurrent undeliverable checks that come to the disbursing office, the

proceeds of which have not yet been transferred to the Treasury under paragraph 140502 of this

chapter. Do not schedule an uncurrent undelivered check on an SF 1098 or DD Form 1131 as a

current undeliverable check.

140504. Limited Depositary Checks Due Deceased or Incompetent Payees

A. Checks Current as to Date of Issue

. Process un-negotiated LDA checks

returned to the disbursing office in connection with a claim for the proceeds which are still due a

deceased or incompetent payee but still current as to date of issue under subparagraphs 140503.E

and 140503.F of this chapter.

B. Checks Uncurrent as to Date of Issue

. Handle un-negotiated LDA checks,

uncurrent as to date of issue and returned to the disbursing office in connection with a claim for

14-12

DoD Financial Management Regulation Volume 5, Chapter 14

ËMarch 2009

the proceeds that still are due a deceased or incompetent payee, as follows:

1. If the proceeds of these checks were not transferred to Treasury

account 20X6045 previously, then perform this transfer as provided in paragraph 140502 of this

chapter, before forwarding the check and the claim to Treasury.

2. If transfer of these checks’ proceeds to Treasury account 20X6045

has occurred, then send the checks with the related claims to Treasury’s Credit Accounting

Branch, Financial Management Service for settlement.

140505. Claims for the Proceeds of Undeliverable Checks

A. Claims for Settlement by the DO

. Support claims for the proceeds of

undeliverable checks that have been credited to the appropriation or fund originally charged

using a SF 1034. Cite a reference to the original undeliverable check, showing the check serial

number, amount, and DSSN, on each voucher.

B. Claims for Settlement by the Department of Defense (DoD)

. When there

1406 CANCELING LIMITED DEPOSITARY CHECKS

140601. General. Cancel LD checks when their proceeds are not due to payees or

their estates but are for credit to an appropriation or fund account. The procedure to cancel these

checks depends on whether the account on which the check was written is open or closed, the

check is “current” or “uncurrent,” and the check is available or unavailable to the DO

maintaining the LDA.

140602. Checks Not Due a Payee or Payee’s Estate

. The functional area

submitting the certified payment voucher for issue of the check normally is the only office that

may cancel checks not due a payee or the payee’s estate. Except as provided in this paragraph,

use the SF 1098 to list and report all such checks being canceled. In all cases where practicable,

the functional area authorizing the original payment prepares the SF 1098. If the disbursing

office prepares the SF 1098, then the functional area signs and dates it in the lower right-hand

corner in the spaces titled “Forwarded” and “By.” The disbursing office marks the front of the

check with the word “CANCELED” and the date of cancellation in prominent letters to prevent

improper negotiation of the check.

A. Checks Current as to Issue Date

. The DO cancels LD checks not due a

payee as quickly as possible. Credit the U.S. dollar equivalent of the foreign currency amount of

the check at the rate of exchange in effect on the date the check was issued (as shown on the

payment voucher) to the original appropriation or fund charged for the payment.

1. Open Accounts

. If the LDA is open (established and being used

by the current DO), then process the SF 1098 in the accounts to effect the credit to the fund or

14-13

DoD Financial Management Regulation Volume 5, Chapter 14

ËMarch 2009

appropriation originally charged for the disbursement, increase the LDA checkbook balance, and

remove the canceled check from the record of outstanding checks. Account for each SF 1098 as

a cash collection. Increase “Cash on Deposit in Designated Depositary” in the same U.S. dollar

amount as the SF 1098 to maintain the DO’s accountability. Increase the LDA checkbook

balance by the total amount of foreign currency units shown on the check. Compute the current

U.S. dollar equivalent of the LDA checkbook balance (including the foreign currency units

added above) using the current rate of exchange. Then compare the total U.S. dollar equivalent

of the LDA checkbook balance to the total U.S. dollar equivalent shown as “Cash on Deposit in

Designated Depositary.” Voucher any difference in total U.S. dollar equivalents as a gain or loss

by exchange transaction on a DD Form 1131 or SF 1034 (as appropriate) against **6763 and

recorded in the day’s business as either a collection or disbursement, increasing or decreasing, as

appropriate “Cash on Deposit in a Designated Depositary.” Mark the face of the canceled check

“Canceled” and the date of cancellation. Send the canceled check and a copy of the SF 1098

with the original SF 1149 at the end of the month.

2. Closed Accounts. If the LDA is closed or the account was

maintained by a predecessor DO and closed upon change of DOs, then transfer funds between

the closed and current (open) LDAs before processing the cancellation action. Otherwise, follow

the procedures in the remainder of this paragraph.

a. Check to be Canceled Drawn on DO’s Current Limited

Depositary. If the DO cannot draw a check against the closed LDA and both the closed and open

accounts (DO’s current account) are with the same LD, then advise the LD by letter that the DO

has the check and will cancel it. Ask the LD to transfer the funds involved from the closed to the

open account. When the LD advises that the requested transfer has been made, proceed with the

preparation of the SF 1098 as described in subparagraph 140602.A.1 of this chapter.

b. Check to be Canceled Drawn on Different LD. If the

closed LDA and the DO’s current open LDA are in different LDs, then request in writing that the

LD on which the check was drawn charge the account for the check being officially canceled and

send the funds to the DO, by title. Upon receipt, deposit the funds in the current open LDA and

treated them as a cash collection using a DD Form 1131 for credit to the fund or appropriation

originally charged for the check being canceled. Do not

process an SF 1098 for this transaction.

Show the U.S. dollar equivalent of the foreign currency amount of the check and the rate of

exchange effective on the date the check was issued as shown on the payment voucher on the

DD Form 1131. State prominently on the DD Form 1131 that the transaction involves the

proceeds of a canceled check. Account for any difference in the U.S. dollar value at the current

rate of exchange and the rate of exchange at which the funds provided by the LD are collected on

the DD Form 1131 as a gain or loss by exchange transaction.

B. Unavailable Checks. Cancel LDA checks, the proceeds of which are not

due the payee or the payee’s estate, and not held by the disbursing office, even though they

cannot be forwarded with the SF 1149 as canceled checks.

1. The applicable functional area prepares a SF 1098 and includes an

14-14

DoD Financial Management Regulation Volume 5, Chapter 14

ËMarch 2009

explanation of the circumstances that make the check unavailable. The functional area that

authorized the issue of the original check approves the SF 1098, which the DO also signs under

the explanation of the unavailability of the check.

2. The DO requests that the LD on which the check was drawn place

a stop payment on the check and provide a written acknowledgement when this is accomplished.

3. When the LD’s acknowledgement is received, the DO processes

the SF 1098 and credits the fund or appropriation originally charged, adjusts the checkbook

balance, and reduces the record of outstanding checks as prescribed in subparagraph 140602.A.1

of this chapter. Send a copy of the LD’s acknowledgement and a copy of the SF 1098 with the

SF 1149 at the end of the month.

4. The DO files the original SF 1098 and the bank’s

acknowledgement with his/her monthly financial reports and keeps copies for the retained

records file.

C. Checks Uncurrent as to Date of Issue. Process the proceeds of uncurrent

checks not due a payee or payee’s estate through the Department of the Treasury account

20X6045. Uncurrent LDA checks, whether or not due the payee or payee’s estate or available to

the DO, shall have been processed through Treasury account 20X6045 as prescribed in

paragraph 140502 of this chapter in October of the fiscal year which is one full fiscal year after

the fiscal year of check issuance.

1. The DO schedules the check on an SF 1098 prepared in original

and six copies crediting the fund or appropriation originally charged for the payment for the U.S.

dollar equivalent of the foreign currency at the rate of exchange in effect when the check was

issued, as shown on the payment voucher. Modify the heading of the SF 1098 to read “Schedule

of Limited Depositary Checks Canceled by the Department of the Treasury.” Include a full

explanation of the reason for cancellation of the check on the SF 1098. Do not process this SF

1098 in the accounts as a collection.

2. Send the original and five copies of the SF 1098 and the check,

when available, through the supporting DFAS site to Credit Accounting Branch, Financial

Management Service, Department of the Treasury with a covering letter or memorandum

requesting cancellation of the check. Attach a copy of the outstanding check listing and OF

1017-G prepared when the check was transferred to the Department of the Treasury account

20X6045 to document the request. Retain one copy of the SF 1098 in a pending receivables file.

3. After cancellation of the check is approved, the Department of the

Treasury authorizes issuance of a U.S. Treasury check for the value of the canceled LD check.

Process this check and the SF 1080 (Voucher for Transfer Between Appropriations and/or

Funds) upon receipt from Treasury as a collection. Support the transaction with the retained

copy of the SF 1098.

1407 REPLACING MISSING, MUTILATED, AND FORGED LIMITED DEPOSITARY CHECKS

140701. General. Upon receipt of a claim for a check that is reported as not

received, lost, stolen, destroyed, mutilated, forged or defaced, the DO determines from the LD or

from retained records the status of the check. When checks are outstanding and unpaid, reported

before the end of the fiscal year following the fiscal year in which they were issued, and do not

involve any question of law or fact, the DO issues a replacement check. Replace checks paid on

a forged endorsement, reported before the end of the fiscal year following the fiscal year in

which they were issued, and to which the payee is entitled with a settlement check. Refer claims

for replacement of checks submitted more than one full fiscal year after the fiscal year in which

they were issued, or involving any question of law or fact, or on behalf of deceased or

incompetent payees without a court appointed legal representative, or where the claimant’s

entitlement is in question to the DoD Office of the General Counsel (Fiscal).

140702. Replacement Check Procedures

A. Action by the Original Payee of the Check or Other Claimant. The payee

or other claimant notifies the DO in writing over his or her own handwritten signature when a

check has been lost, stolen, mutilated, or destroyed, and requests payment on the check be

stopped.

1. The notification must provide all information available on the

check. When furnished by the DO, the payee or other claimant completes a Treasury Fiscal

Service (TFS) Form 2244 (Undertaking of Indemnity - Substitute Checks) and returns it to the

DO before the end of the full fiscal year following the fiscal year of the check’s issuance.

2. Claimants other than the original payee present a statement to support

their ownership of the check with the TFS Form 2244. Representatives of deceased payees or owners

who clearly are entitled to the proceeds of original checks as part of the estate also complete and submit

an SF 1055

(Claim Against the United States for Amounts Due a Deceased Creditor).

3. Claimants acting as guardians of incompetent payees or owners

who are shown by the evidence to be entitled to the proceeds of the original check submit a

short-form court certificate showing their appointment and qualifications as guardians with the

TFS Form 2244.

4. A DO may, at his or her discretion, accept an undertaking of

indemnity in the form of a written statement or letter if –

a. the payee or other claimant is a bank or other financial

institution and the check was drawn for $15,000 or less,

b. the payee or other claimant is a corporation or business of

recognized financial standing and the check was drawn for $5,000 or less,

c. the payee or other claimant is a financially responsible

14-16

DoD Financial Management Regulation Volume 5, Chapter 14

ËMarch 2009

individual and the check was drawn for $150 or less, or

d. the check was for a recurring payment in any amount

greater than $150.

The substance of the statement or letter must be:

“In consideration of the issuance of a replacement check in lieu of (check number

of original check, date, amount, and payee) and the payment of the replacement

check, the undersigned undertakes and agrees to save harmless and indemnify the

United States of America, its officers and agents, of and from any and all liability,

loss, expense, claim, and demand whatsoever, arising in any manner by reason of

or on account of said original check(s) or the stoppage of payment thereof, or the

issue of payment of the replacement check(s), to replace the same.”

The statement must be witnessed by a person with authority to so act and, when necessary, may

be executed in a foreign language translation of the foregoing letter of indemnity. If the claim

exceeds the amounts stated above and the DO still desires to use the letter form of the

undertaking of indemnity, then obtain prior approval from the DFAS Director for Policy and

Performance Management through the supporting DFAS site.

B. Action by the DO. The DO first determines that the check reported as

lost, stolen, destroyed, mutilated, or defaced is still outstanding. If it is outstanding, then request

the LD stop payment against the check and acknowledge, in writing, receipt of the request.

Upon receipt of the acknowledgement, the DO forwards a modified TFS Form 2244 to the

claimant for completion and return. The DO makes the following modifications to the TFS Form

2244:

1. Enter the description of the check.

2. Enter the name of the bank on which the check was drawn.

3. Insert a statement near the added bank name that reads, “This

change made before execution of bond with full knowledge and consent of all parties

concerned.” The claimant and sureties must sign this statement. On completion of the TFS

Form 2244, the DO approves the claim for payment when determining the original check still is

outstanding. The DO may issue a replacement check before the end of the full fiscal year after the

fiscal year of issue if there is no question of law or fact concerning the payment, the written claim,

the TFS Form 2244 or written statement or letter includes an undertaking of indemnity, and any

necessary supporting documents have been received in proper form. Note the approval on the

reverse of TFS Form 2244 or on the letter undertaking indemnity, in the words “Claim approved by

(Name, title, and disbursing station), Date (month, day, and year).” If the original check was drawn

on a closed LDA, then transfer the funds to an open LDA before issuing a replacement check.

Follow subparagraph 140602.A.2 of this chapter to accomplish the transfer. The DO then issues a

replacement check with the current date, payable in the same currency as the original check. In the

14-17

DoD Financial Management Regulation Volume 5, Chapter 14

ËMarch 2009

lower left-hand corner on the face of the replacement check include information identifying the

original check, as follows: “Issued in lieu of check number Dated (month, day, year) drawn by (DO

who issued original check) on (Name of LD).” The DO then records the number of the

replacement check, the date of issue, and the name of the LD on which drawn on the back of the

TFS Form 2244 or on the letter undertaking indemnity. At the end of the month, the DO attaches a

copy of all replacement checks issued during that month to the SF 1149. If copies cannot be

provided, then submit a listing of replacement checks issued, showing only the replacement check

numbers and numbers and dates of the original checks replaced with the SF 1149. Replacement

checks do not increase a DO’s accountability; do not reflect them on the SF 1219. File the TFS

Form 2244 and all supporting documents with the retained records of the DO.

C. Sureties. A surety assumes the status of a debtor under the original

agreement and is primarily liable with the claimant for any default. Acceptable sureties in

connection with TFS Form 2244 are either a corporate surety authorized by the Secretary of the

Treasury, or two responsible individual sureties. In foreign countries, the claimant is responsible

to secure the certification as to the financial sufficiency of individual sureties. One of the

persons listed on the face of the TFS Form 2244 executes the certification under “Certificate as

to Sureties” in the manner prescribed by the instructions on the TFS Form 224. If the amount of

the original check had a U.S. dollar value of $200 or less, then only one financially responsible

surety is required. Sureties are not required when the:

1. DO determines that the nonreceipt, loss, theft, destruction or

mutilation of the check was not the fault of the owner or holder and occurred while the check

was in the custody or control of an agent of the U.S. performing services in connection with an

official U.S. function;

2. DO is satisfied that a substantial portion of the check is presented

and is in fact the subject of the claim, and that the missing portions will not support a valid claim

against the U.S.;

3. claimant or holder is an officer or employee of the U.S., a

municipal corporation, or a political subdivision of the U.S., a state, the District of Columbia, or

a U.S. territory or possession; or

4. claimant is a corporation whose entire capital is owned by the

U.S., a foreign government or agency thereof, a foreign central bank, or a Federal Reserve Bank.

140703. Settlement Check Procedures

. The procedures for claims on paid checks

apply to all LDAs.

A. Action by the Payee of the Check. The payee immediately notifies the

DO over his or her own handwritten signature when a check has been paid on a forged

endorsement. This notification must provide all available information on the identification of the

forged check. The payee completes the Treasury Financial Management Service (FMS) Form

1133 (Claim Against the United States for the Proceeds of a Government Check) and returns it to

14-18

DoD Financial Management Regulation Volume 5, Chapter 14

ËMarch 2009

the DO issuing the original check within 90 days of the date appearing on the FMS Form 1133.

B. Action by the DO. Upon receipt of a written request for the proceeds of a

check paid on a forged endorsement, the DO –

1. Sends a written request to initiate reclamation to the LD,

requesting that the LD acknowledge the request in writing and, if canceled checks are not

returned to the account holder with the bank statement, then to provide the forged check or a

clear legible copy of it to the DO.

2. Gives the payee a copy of the forged check, a FMS Form 1133

with instructions on its completion, informing the payee that the form must be returned within 90

days. The return address at the top right of the form is that of the DO processing the claim. In

the opposite box insert the complete name and address of the claimant as shown on the forged

check, the check number, the date of issue, and the amount of the check.

3. If the claimant does not complete and return the FMS Form 1133

within 90 days, then the DO considers the case closed. If the does return the form within 90

days, then the DO sends the form and a copy of the forged check to his or her Component’s

investigative service for examination by a handwriting expert.

4. The DO requests that the investigative service certify an opinion as

to the authenticity of the endorsement. The opinion of the handwriting expert is the basis for

deciding whether or not a settlement check may be approved for the claimant. Approve a

settlement check if the opinion of the handwriting expert states the endorsement was forged and

not executed by the payee. A DO may issue a settlement before the end of the full fiscal year

after the fiscal year in which the forged check was issued providing there is no question of fact

law concerning the payment; the payee’s claim is in writing; and the FMS Form 1133, the

certified opinion of the handwriting expert, or any other necessary supporting documents have

been received in proper form.

5. A DO, upon determining that a settlement check is due the payee,

issues it without waiting for reclamation to be accomplished by the LD. Note the approval on

the front of the FMS Form 1133 in the words, “Settlement approved by (name, title, and

disbursing station), Date (month, day, and year).” The DO then issues a settlement check with

the current date payable in the same currency as the original check. The settlement check

includes information on its face in the lower left-hand corner identifying the original check as

follows: “Issued in settlement of check number dated (month, day, year) drawn by (DO who

issued original check) on (Name of Limited Depositary).” Report settlement checks as checks

issued and account for them in the regular manner when preparing the SF 1149.

6. Where the local currency disbursed for the forged check was

purchased through a MBF, by an open market transaction, or by issuance of a U.S. Treasury

check, report the issuance of the settlement check as a Receivable - Check Overdraft on line 7.2

14-19

DoD Financial Management Regulation Volume 5, Chapter 14

ËMarch 2009

of the DD Form 2657 (Daily Statement of Accountability) and the SF 1219. Follow section

1408 of this chapter to establish and clear the receivable as a check issue overdraft discrepancy.

If the funds originally used to pay the forged check were from U.S.-owned foreign currencies,

then the DO charges the disbursement of the settlement check to the same foreign currency

account.

C. Reclamation. The DO issuing settlement checks must be satisfied that

reclamation action is timely and that every effort is made to recover the proceeds of forged LD

checks. The DO, at least twice within the 30 days immediately following the receipt of the LD’s

acknowledgement of the notification of a forgery, makes a formal written request for completion

of reclamation by the LD. If the LD advises that reclamation cannot be made because the LD

can prove a point of local law that relieves it from responsibility, then the DO requests relief of

liability for the illegal, incorrect, or improper payment; see Chapter 6 of this volume. If relief of

liability is granted, then the DO follows section 1408 of this chapter to clear the check issue

overdraft. Credit recoveries made through reclamation to the appropriation to which the

disbursement of the settlement check was charged. If the charge is still carried as a check issue

overdraft, then clear line 7.2 of both the DD Form 2657 and the SF 1219. If line 7.2 has already

been cleared by relief of liability, then credit General Fund Proprietary Receipts, Defense

Military, Not Otherwise Classified, **3210.

140704. Recovery of Original Check. If the original LD check is recovered before

issuance of a replacement check, then suspend the replacement check action and request the LD

to remove the stop payment against the original check. The payee then may negotiate the

original check. If the replacement check has been released, then render the original check

nonnegotiable by writing or stamping across the face of the check “Not Negotiable -

Replacement Check Issued Under No. ,” and submit it with the next SF 1149.

140705. Referral to the Office of the Secretary of Defense (OSD)

A. Entitlement or Legal Representation

. Send all cases involving questions

as to the payee or owner’s entitlement to a substitute or settlement check, and cases where no

legal representative has been appointed by the court for deceased/incompetent payees or owners

to DoD, Office of the General Counsel (Fiscal). Include an assessment or determination from

the appropriate entitlement area concerning the underlying obligation. Chapter 8 of this volume

addresses entitlement area responsibilities with respect to recertification of payment by Treasury

check, and for claims on obligations underlying canceled Treasury checks; review this before

referring a case.

B. Question of Law or Fact. Send all cases involving any question of law or

fact to DoD, Office of the General Counsel (Fiscal) for settlement action.

C. Checks Outstanding More Than One Full Fiscal Year

. Send all cases

involving checks outstanding more than one full fiscal year after the fiscal year in which they

were issued to DoD, Office of the General Counsel (Fiscal) for settlement. Include in the

documentation for these cases an undertaking of indemnity for the proceeds of a lost, stolen,

14-20

DoD Financial Management Regulation Volume 5, Chapter 14

ËMarch 2009

destroyed, mutilated, or defaced LD check; the check in question, when available, or any

identifiable portions thereof; and, any other supporting documentation.

140706. Files

. The DO retains approved claims and supporting documentation, or

copies of the same where the originals have been transferred to the supporting DFAS site, as part

of the retained records.

1408 ADJUSTMENT OF CHECK ISSUE DISCREPANCIES

140801. General

. This section prescribes the actions required to adjust LDA

differences chargeable to DOs. The makes these adjustments and records them immediately upon

discovery. These procedures do not apply to voided or spoiled or canceled LDA checks, which

were discussed in sections 1404 and 1406 of this chapter. Internal audit reports, Government

Accountability Office (GAO) or other agency audits, or DO-initiated control measures disclose LD

check-issue discrepancies. These differences occur when the LD pays a check in an amount

different from the disbursement voucher and the record of checks issued; the disbursing office

draws a check to the wrong payee; the disbursing office issues a check in an amount different from

that shown on the disbursement voucher; the disbursing office voids, spoils, or cancels a valid

check in error while at the same time issuing the check that was the subject of the action to void,

spoil, or cancel; or the payee advises of a possible overpayment or underpayment.

140802. Recording Limited Depositary Check Issue Overdrafts and Underdrafts

A DO, as soon as he or she is aware of a check issue difference (regardless of the U.S. dollar

value), prepares an OF 1017-G in original and three copies to record the difference, showing a

complete explanation of the difference on the form, including a description of the check (check

number, date, amount, payee, account number, and LD name) and identification of the related

disbursement voucher. Attach the original OF 1017-G to the DO’s SF 1219, a copy to the SF

1149, and file the two remaining copies to be used as the DO’s official subsidiary record of the

uncleared difference comprising the DO’s accounts receivable and/or accounts payable.

140803. Adjustments During The Current Accounting Period. Do not include

documentation for adjusting check issue discrepancies disclose and adjusted in the current

accounting period with the SF 1149. Rather, retain these documents with the other retained

financial records for internal processing. Follow paragraphs 140804 – 140806 of this chapter to

document differences disclosed during the current accounting period which cannot be adjusted

until a subsequent accounting period.

140804. Adjustments of Check Issue Overdrafts of More Than $1

. A DO

determining that a LD check was issued for more than the amount shown on the disbursement

voucher and reported in the LDA reports prepares an OF 1017-G under paragraph 140802 of this

chapter, and enters the amount as a decrease to the LDA on line 6.1 and an increase to accounts

receivable on line 7.2A of the DD Form 2657. If the overdraft is an actual overpayment to the

payee, then the DO begins collection action. When the overpayment is recovered, the DO

deposits the funds in the LDA and enters the amount as an increase on line 6.1 and a decrease on

line 7.2A of the DD Form 2657, and prepares an OF 1017-G to document the transaction. Do

14-21

DoD Financial Management Regulation Volume 5, Chapter 14

ËMarch 2009

not prepare a collection voucher. If the overdraft is due to not having charged the appropriation

for the total amount of the check, then prepare a one-sided SF 1081 (Voucher and Schedule of

Withdrawals and Credits) to charge the overdraft to the appropriation cited on the original

disbursement voucher. Include a complete explanation of the adjustment on the SF 1081 and

process the voucher as a disbursement on line 4.1A and a decrease to accounts receivable on line

7.2 of the DD Form 2657.

140805. Adjustments of Check Issue Underdrafts of More Than $1. A DO

determining that a check was issued for less than the amount shown on the disbursement voucher

and shown on the depositary reports prepares an OF 1017-G under paragraph 140802 of this

chapter, enters the amount of the underdraft as increases to lines 4.1E and 6.1 of the

DD Form 2657, and prepares a one-sided SF 1081 crediting deposit fund account **X6999,

Accounts Payable - Check Issue Underdrafts.

A. If the underdraft is due to charging the appropriation cited on the

disbursement voucher more than the amount of the check, then prepare an SF 1081 charging

deposit fund account **X6999 and crediting the appropriation charged on the original voucher.

B. If the underdraft is due to issuing the check for less than the amount on the

original voucher, then prepare an SF 1034 charging deposit fund **X6999 and issue a check to

the original payee for the amount of the underdraft.

C. Record the check and the SF 1034 as a new transaction in the LDA and on

the DD Form 2657.

140806. Clearing Overdrafts and Underdrafts of $1 or Less. A DO determining that

an overdraft or underdraft of $1 or less exists prepares an OF 1017-G as described in paragraph

140802 of this chapter for overdrafts and underdrafts over $1. Do not liquidate LD check issue

differences of $1 or less in U.S. currency, even though they are recorded in the DO’s accounts, by

14-22

DoD Financial Management Regulation Volume 5, Chapter 14

ËMarch 2009

collection from overpaid payees, payment to underpaid payees, or adjustments to appropriation or

fund accounts which were over or under charged in the original processing of the voucher and

issuance of the check. Rather, reconcile them as follows:

A. Clearance of Overdrafts Equal to One U.S. Dollar or Less. At the close of

each fiscal year the DO prepares a one-sided SF 1081 for the cumulative total of all outstanding

check issue overdrafts with a U.S. dollar value of $1 or less, charging the operating funds of the

disbursing activity and crediting accounts receivable. Describe the transaction completely, and

include a listing of the OF 1017-Gs being cleared.

B. Clearance of Underdrafts Equal to One U.S. Dollar or Less. At the close

of each fiscal year the DO liquidates all outstanding underdrafts for check issue differences with

a U.S. dollar value of $1 or less by processing an SF 1081 to transfer the cumulative total of

these accounts payable from deposit fund **X6999 to miscellaneous receipt account, Forfeiture

of Unclaimed Money and Property, **1060. If a payee requests payment of the underpaid

amount before the end of the fiscal year, then the DO confirms the claim and, when necessary,

issues a check charging the original appropriation for the disbursement. Refer claims received

after the outstanding underdraft has been cleared as prescribed in this paragraph to the

supporting DFAS site.

140807. Clearing the Subsidiary Account Files. When the adjustment action has

been completed, collection made, or an additional check issued, mark the two file copies of the

OF 1017-G with the appropriate legend: “See Deposit Ticket No. , dated ;” “See

Check No. , dated ;” or, “See Adjustment Voucher No. , dated .”

Submit one of the annotated copies with the SF 1149 at the close of the accounting period. File

the remaining copy with the DO’s retained records for the LDA.

1409 DOCUMENTATION OF LIMITED DEPOSITARY ACCOUNT TRANSACTIONS

140901. General

. DOs are implement controls and safeguards to assure the

drawing of LD checks in strict conformance to disbursement vouchers as certified. LDAs are a

part of the DO’s accountability for public funds. For this reason, the DO must maintain

complete and accurate records, and make them available for audit to ensure the integrity of the

LDAs. Treat a loss resulting from a bank failure as a physical loss; see Chapter 6 of this volume

for processing irregularities in a DO’s account.

140902. SF 1149 (Statement of Designated Depositary Account). Within 30 days

after the close of a calendar month, a DO holding an open LDA or an accountable individual

charged with settling closed accounts prepares and submits a SF 1149. The SF 1149 shall be

prepared by the account holder closing a LDA on the last business day and submitted within 5

deposit comprising this entry.

6. Line 18 - Balance Per Checkbook. Subtract the sum of lines 16

and 17 from the amount on line 15 and enter the result. If this amount equals the amount on line

1410 TRANSFERRING AND CLOSING THE LIMITED DEPOSITARY ACCOUNT

141001. General. LDAs being closed or transferred require reconciliation as part

of the process. Before attempting to reconcile an LDA, the DO’s agent serving as the LDA

custodian contacts the LD and requests an up-to-date statement of the account and, if available,

all the paid LD checks since the last regular statement. Reconcile the account by preparing a SF

1149 as explained in paragraph 140902 of this chapter.

141002. Transferring an LDA

. Use these procedures to transfer an LDA to the

DO/DDO, a successor DO, or designated settlement office due to operational requirements or

economic considerations.

A. The DO’s Agent –

1. Obtains an up-to-date bank statement from the LD.

2. Reconciles the LDA.

3. Prepares a list of the outstanding LDA checks and provide it to the

individual charged with continuing the account.

14-30

DoD Financial Management Regulation Volume 5, Chapter 14

ËMarch 2009

4. Gives the LD the name, official title, and address of the successor

LDA holder and arrange for future bank statements and paid checks to be delivered to that

individual.

5. Turns over all undelivered LD checks to the successor LDA

holder.

6. Issues a check to the successor LDA holder for the unexpended

reconciled balance of the account.

7. Reports the check transaction on line 10 of the final SF 1149.

8. Forwards the SF 1149 and a list of the outstanding checks to the

supporting DFAS site.

9. Enters the amount of the unexpended balance and give a complete

description of the check issued to the successor LDA holder as an Other Cash Item on line 7.9 of

the SF 1219.

10. Returns any unused checks belonging to the LD for disposition. If

they were purchased by the disbursing activity, then deliver them to the successor LDA holder.

11. Before transferring the LDA to a settlement office for closure,

requests the supporting DFAS site designate a settlement officer to liquidate the account.

B. The Successor LDA Holder –

1. Verifies the LDA is in balance before relieving the DO’s agent and

ensures that a balance sufficient to satisfy all outstanding checks remains in the LDA;

2. Notifies the LD of the identities of the new DO and check-signing

and agents;

3. Deposits the check received from the previous DO’s agent for the

unexpended balance and shows the check amount on line 2 of the SF 1149 in the first monthly

report of the successor LDA holder; and

check number, date, payee name and social security number, payee address, voucher number

under which the check was disbursed, amount in units of foreign currency, amount of the check

in equivalent U.S. dollars at the time of issue, DSSN, and the name of the DO that established

the LD.

5. Prepares a letter (in triplicate) for the commander's signature

advising the LD that the account is being closed with the withdrawal of the unexpended balance

and that an amount sufficient to cover all outstanding checks will remain in the account. Give

the LD the name, official title, and address of the settlement officer and request that future

statements and paid checks, when available, be forwarded until the account balance is depleted.

Request the LD acknowledge acceptance by signature, retain the original and return two signed

copies to the DO. The LDA holder retains one of the signed copies.

6. Prepares a LD check payable to the DO (by title) under whose

authority the account was established for the unexpended balance of the account. The DO
