§ 208.7 Agency responsibilities.
(a) An agency shall disclose to each individual who is eligible to receive a Federal benefit, wage, salary, or retirement payment and who is not already receiving payment by electronic funds transfer the individual's rights and obligations under §§208.3, 208.4(a) and 208.5 of this part, unless payment by electronic funds transfer is not required pursuant to any provision of subsections (b) through (g) of §208.4.
(1) Prior to the date the ETASM becomes available, the disclosure shall be in a form substantially similar to the model disclosure set forth in appendix A of this part.
(2) On and after the date the ETASM becomes available, the disclosure shall be in a form substantially similar to the model disclosure set forth in appendix B of this part.
(b) An agency shall put into place procedures that allow recipients to indicate that the recipient elects to have payment deposited by electronic funds transfer to an account held by the recipient at a financial institution. In addition, an agency may put into place procedures to request that individuals who are invoking a hardship waiver under §208.4(a) indicate, in writing or orally, that a hardship waiver has been invoked. However, an agency may not delay or withhold payment if a recipient does not respond to such a request.
