| EFT - Electronic Funds Transfer Please follow all of these steps to complete the EFT process. NOTE: While there may be technical differences, for purposes of this process EFT and ACH are interchangeable. |
Primary Creditor Name and Check Address - This is the payee name and address used for your
disbursement checks. If claims are filed with several variations of the same name/address, then this creates
several payee name variations in our database and requires multiple EFT disbursements. You will need to
access those multiple disbursements separately using your password. If multiple name variations are used,
please include all names and addresses, attaching additional pages to the form if necessary. You will be
contacted to discuss options to consolidate disbursements or leave unchanged.
NOTE: As a matter of practice, you may want to consider filing all future proofs of claim with one single name
and address for efficient EFT processing.
Voucher Email Information – You must include one central email address that your organization may
access EFT vouchers, however, you may provide up to an additional 2 email addresses for additional EFT
processors. Vouchers may be accessed in three ways:
