SVC Enrollment Requires Applicant Info

Contractors Must Authorize Bank Debits
If you participate as a contractor in the Treasury SVC program, you must use FS Form 2889 and FS Form 5752 to provide information and to authorize the Treasury to initiate debit and credit entries to your bank or credit union accounts. FS Form 2889 is estimated at 10 minutes and FS Form 5752 at 1 minute; these authorizations also facilitate collection of any delinquent amounts.
