Purpose
The purpose of this training is to ensure providers understand that after March 1, 2013, all payments issued by the Department of Treasury will be made via Electronic Fund Transfer (EFT).
All workers’ compensation providers enrolled in a DOL, Office of Workers’ Compensation Programs that includes the Division of Federal Employees Compensation (DFEC), Division of Coal Mine Workers’ Compensation (DCMWC), and/or the Division of Energy Employees Occupational Illness Compensation (DEEOIC) will be required to transition to mandatory EFT prior to March 1, 2013.
Effective immediately, all enrolled providers must initiate the EFT process and complete the transition to mandatory electronic funds transfer (EFT) prior to March 1, 2013.
Failure to comply will result in suspension of bill payment after March 1, 2013, until EFT requirements have been satisfied.
