Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) The recipient/cooperator shall designate a financial institution or an authorized payment agent through which a federal payment may be made in accordance with US Treasury Regulations, Money and Finance at ▇▇ ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇, which requires that federal payments are to be made by EFT to the maximum extent possible. A waiver may be requested and payments received by check by certifying in writing that one of the following situations apply:
1. The payment recipient does not have an account at a financial institution.
2. EFT creates a financial hardship because direct deposit will cost the payment recipient more than receiving a check.
3. The payment recipient has a physical or mental disability, or a geographic, language, or literacy barrier. In order to receive EFT payments the recipient/cooperator shall register in the System for Award Management (▇▇▇). You may register by going to ▇▇▇.▇▇▇.gov and following the instructions provided online. For assistance, contact the ▇▇▇ User Help by contacting the supporting Federal Service Desk at (▇▇▇)▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇ or ▇▇▇.▇▇▇.▇▇▇ .
Electronic Re-presented Checks If you write a check on a personal account that we return unpaid because of insufficient or uncollected funds, payee or any subsequent holder of the check may re-present the check to us, through an electronic instruction ("Electronic Re-presented Check") to charge your account for the amount of the check. If we receive an electronic re-presented check, we will pay or return the electronic re-presented check as if the original paper check was presented to us. Any collection fee you authorize the merchant to debit from your account is an electronic funds transfer subject to the terms of the Electronic Funds Transfer Agreement. If you want to reverse an electronic re-presented check, you must give us an affidavit within fifteen (15) days after we send or make available to you the periodic statement that reflects payment of that electronic re-presented check. In your affidavit, you must declare and swear under oath that the electronic re-presented check was ineligible or unauthorized. If we receive a proper notice of affidavit from you within the 15-day period, we will recredit your account with the amount of the charge. If you wish to stop payment of any electronic re-presented check, you must follow the procedures for stopping payment of checks, not the procedures for stopping payment on electronic loan or bill payments. If you ask us to request the depositor's bank to send us the original paper check or a copy of the paper check, and we provide it to you, you agree that you will not seek to have your account re-credited due to a prior stop payment order or if the item is otherwise ineligible for collection.
Electronic Funds Transfer Upon reinstatement by ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, this Security Instrument and obligations secured hereby shall remain fully effective as if no acceleration had occurred. However, this right to reinstate shall not apply in the case of acceleration under Section 18.
Electronic Check Conversion You may authorize a merchant or other payee to make a one-time electronic payment from your checking account using information from your check to pay for purchases or pay bills.
Reliance on Electronic Instructions If the Trust has the ability to originate electronic instructions to GFS in order to (i) effect the transfer or movement of cash or Shares or (ii) transmit Shareholder information or other information, then in such event GFS shall be entitled to rely on the validity and authenticity of such instruction without undertaking any further inquiry as long as such instruction is undertaken in conformity with security procedures established and agreed upon by GFS and the Fund’s investment adviser.
