Direct Deposit

Purpose of Direct Deposit with the Coast Guard

Direct Deposit allows the Coast Guard to effect payments and reimbursements via an Electronic Fund Transfer (EFT) quickly, securely, and directly to the bank account specified by the individual/claimant.  This eliminates a lot of time, cost, and administrative overhead associated with processing, printing, and mailing payroll and reimbursement checks.

Direct Deposit Required

Effective January 1, 2008, all Auxiliarists must be enrolled for Direct Deposit with the Coast Guard to receive reimbursements from the Coast Guard for expenses associated with patrols, official travel, or any other claims (e.g. - equipment damage).

Establish Direct Deposit

To establish direct deposit for reimbursements from the Coast Guard into your financial account:

• Complete ACH/EFT Enrollment Form on-line (this is a secure site)
