Can I Get A Waiver From Having Electronic Funds Transfers?

Waivers granted by the U.S. Treasury are rare:

• If you live in a remote location without a banking infrastructure that supports electronic financial transactions
• If a hardship would occur due to a mental impairment
• If you were born on or before May 1, 1921

If any of these situations apply to you, a waiver form is available — Request for Payment of Federal Benefits by Check, FS Form 1201W (March 2014). This form is available at http://www.godirect.org/.

The completed form should be submitted to:

U.S. Treasury,
Electronic Payment Solution Center,
P.O. Box 650015,
Dallas, TX 75265-0015.

You may also call 855-290-1545 to request a waiver or get more information.
