Direct Deposit Forms

The AR accountant sends Form 74-176 Direct Deposit AuthorizationPDF Document to caregivers who will receive payments from DFPS.

The AR accountant sends an email to each provider to inform the provider of each transaction into his or her bank account for a foster care payment using children’s income.

The AR accountant forwards the completed Form 74-176 to Accounts Payable Accounting, so the form can be entered in the comptroller’s Uniform Statewide Accounting System (USAS).

The following guidelines apply to direct deposit forms:

• Original signatures are not required. A faxed, or scanned and emailed, copy is acceptable.
• The Financial Institution section of the form needs to be completed. It is recommended, but not required, that a representative of the financial institution complete this section because incorrect information will cause delays.
