The Family and Children Services Information System (FACSIS) offers the option for Title IV-E Adoption Assistance Payments to be directly deposited in a recipient or payee bank account by electronic funds transfer (EFT).

In order to provide information to properly complete FACSIS Events for Electronic Funds Transfers, a form has been developed for agency use, ODHS 1425 "Title IV-E Adoption Assistance Direct Deposit Payment Method Authorization."

Use of this form is not mandatory; however, agencies are encouraged to use this form to document all EFT requests. Questions regarding this procedure letter should be directed to your district office social services coordinator.
