Notice to Banks to Reclaim Post-Death Payments
Treasury will continue using FS Form 133 to notify financial institutions when payments were issued after a beneficiary's death, and will send a debit request (Form 135) to the Federal Reserve Bank if the institution does not respond. The collection is an extension without change (OMB Control Number 1530-0003); Treasury estimates 26,895 financial institutions respond on average 8.3 times per year, for 223,128 annual responses, at about 8 minutes per response (29,750 total annual burden hours).
Forms to Set Up Government Debt Repayment
Treasury will continue using FS Forms 122 and 123 to evaluate a debtor's ability to pay and to collect ACH payment information to set up recurring electronic payments for debt repayment. This is an extension without change (OMB Control Number 1530-0075); Treasury estimates 60 respondents will provide these forms once, with Form 122 taking about 15 minutes and Form 123 about 45 minutes, for a total estimated annual burden of 35 hours.
