All:

The Controller’s Department has completed the implementation and testing of automated reimbursement via ACH (Automated Clearing House) transactions for expense reimbursements. Members of the A&F Committee were used as beta test subjects for this and we’ve been able to work out the bugs.

If you would like to receive expense reimbursement deposited directly to your bank account in the future, please follow the five steps below:

1) Complete and sign the attached form and return to dmiddleton@arrl.org or fax to 860-594-0298.

2) Wait for a system generated e-mail notifying you of the test transaction for about $0.10.

3) Confirm the receipt of the deposit with your bank.

4) Notify Diane Middleton at dmiddleton@arrl.org that you received both the e-mail and test deposit.

5) Then, simply wait for your next expense reimbursement notification and direct deposit.

Please note that if you elect ACH reimbursements, all payments will be made by ACH. In addition, all personal banking information will be handled in accordance with appropriate privacy laws and ARRL internal policies.

If you have any questions, please contact Diane Middleton, KC1BQF, directly and she will be happy to help. Once we have given the Board time to respond, we will be offering this service to the Section Managers.
