Direct Deposit Authorization Form Free Checks With Direct: Fill & Download for Free

The phrasing of your question is vague. Are you referring to the electronic process of transferring the payment from your employer to your bank, or are you referring to security of your direct deposit after it is deposited in your account?I will address both.First, direct deposit is very secure. When you use Direct Deposit, you can rest assured that your money is safe. Since your money goes directly into the bank in the form of an electronic transfer, there's no risk of a check being lost or stolen. The most likely way a direct deposit could get “hacked” is if you voluntarily fall prey to a “phishing scam” and you give them your account information. Statistics from 2016 indicate that 82% of employees receive their paychecks via direct deposit. So, it’s not surprising that hackers try this paycheck diversion tactic. Knowing the information here, what can you do to stay safe and increase the chances of having access to your money as expected?Firstly, if you are in a position of authority and get a request from someone asking for a direct deposit account change, don’t respond to the email in an act of blind trust. If possible, contact that person through another method, such as by phone or approaching them in person to verify that they truly sent the message. Do the same if someone from payroll emails you asking for your direct deposit details to “update their records.”Another thing you can do is check the structure of the email. As mentioned earlier, the emails used for this kind of BEC trick normally have at least one component that’s not quite right. For example, it may have a person’s name but come from a free email service instead of the company domain.It’s also ideal at a company level if employees get educated about how to recognize this kind of fraud and get information about the steps they should go through if they receive suspicious emails of any kind. For example, they could forward any strange emails about payroll details or otherwise to the IT department for further review.Think Before You Act!Getting paid on time is a top concern for most people. But, even if you get an email that insists you need to provide the requested details to avoid payment delays, it’s best to investigate further before responding.Once your money is deposited, is it covered by the FDIC. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) preserves and promotes public confidence in the U.S. financial system by insuring deposits in banks and thrift institutions for at least $250,000; by identifying, monitoring and addressing risks to the deposit insurance funds; and by limiting the effect on the economy.

I have an EAD (Employment Authorization Document Card), and I'm on OPT (optional practical training) after I graduated from a US university. So, I'm the most extreme form of resident alien and can never become a US citizen “directly” without changing my immigration status. I believe I'm qualified to answer this question.On March 24, 2020, I filed my first-year income tax return with the IRS online through Turbo Tax-Free Version and has my bank account linked with the tax return. So, the IRS has my bank account information and can give me a Federal and State tax return via direct deposit.° On April 1, 2020, I received my State tax return.° On April 8, 2020, I received my federal tax return.° On April 15, 2020, roughly 3 days after the Fed issued the first stimulus check, I finally received my $1200 coronavirus stimulus check into my bank account, which I inserted in my tax return filing.° Now, I'm about to file Form 843 and Form 8316 to demand the IRS give back my Social Security and Medicare taxes that my employer withheld from me over the last year as I'm exempt from paying these FICO taxes with my immigration status.

You will.After the 2008–09 bailout debacle, the Dodd-Frank legislation vowed “no more taxpayer bailouts”. G20 monetary authorities have signed on. So next time the banks fail, creditors will be bailed in to bailout their failed banks.You — the deposit account customer — are your bank’s creditor. Your bank owes you base money — cash and reserves, the bank’s “liquidity” — in the amount of your deposit account balance, which is the bank’s balance sheet deposit liability. But failed banks can’t pay the deposit liabilities they owe. So your deposit account balance is going to be bailed in, as an alternative to letting your bank collapse in bankruptcy, in which case your deposit account balance would be simply written off as the unpayable debt of a bankrupt debtor.Commercial banks — depository institutions — are not actually in the money-lending business. Banks create the money they lend. It’s not “money”, exactly. It is a deposit account customer’s money asset and the bank’s money liability, that is payable in base money (cash and reserves) by the bank to the customer.Banks are in the credit creation and debt monetization business. Government debtors issue interest-bearing bills, notes, bonds: “bond” debt. Private debtors issue interest-bearing mortgage debt, student loan debt, car loan debt, credit card debt, line of credit and overdraft debt, small business debt, corporate debt, institutional debt: and commercial banks issue new deposit account credit to “pay for” their purchases of the debtors’ new interest-bearing loan account balances and bond debts.“Banking” is a balance sheet accounting business. It just happens that the liabilities issued by banks “are money”. Sellers of stuff accept payment in bank deposits, so the deposits (electronic digits in banking system accounting software) “are money”.Banks issue deposit liabilities (money) to purchase earning assets (debts).To make a $1000 loan, the debtor signs a $1000 promissory note, promising to repay the $1000 and to pay the interest. The bank purchases that note, which it holds as its interest-earning balance sheet debt-asset. To pay for its asset purchase, the bank types a $1000 credit into the borrower’s deposit account.The credit adds $1000 of spendable, investible credit-money into the debtor’s deposit account. The promissory note adds $1000 to the debtor’s loan account balance. The bank types +$1000 into the debtor’s deposit account, and -$1000 into the debtor’s loan account, which creates $1000 of new money and $1000 of new devbt.The debtor’s new deposit account balance is the bank’s new balance sheet deposit liability. The debtor’s new loan account balance is the bank’s new balance sheet earning asset. Debtors and their creditor-banks create new deposit account money and new loan account debt by “expanding bank balance sheets” with new deposit liabilities (money liabilities; payable in government-printed cash money, and in central bank-created reserve account balances) and = new debt-assets.Debtors spend the deposit account money and owe the loan account debt and bond debt. Payees — recipients of the debtors’ spending of the new money — earn the new money as “their” deposit account balances. So borrowers/spenders “owe” all the loan account and bond debt, and payees/earners “own” all the deposit account money supply.Debtors need to earn all of the deposit account money supply “back”, to repay their bank loans. But most of the money supply ends up being earned by “savers” who “keep” rather than “spend” their deposit account balances. So debtors “can’t” earn back the money, and debtors can’t repay their bank loans: because the people who earned and now have all the deposit account money are “saving it”.The commercial bank balance sheet money supply system “can’t work”. Which is why it doesn’t work. It collapses, and has to be bailed out.About 3–5% of the economy’s total spendable, investible and earnable, savable money supply exists in the form of government-printed banknotes and government-minted coins. 95–97% of all “money” is commercial bank-created credit/debt, not government-issued “money”.Almost all of the cash part of the economy’s money supply exists in peoples wallets and in businesses’ cash drawers and safes. This money is continuously spent-earned in the producer-consumer economy’s buy-sell, spend-earn stream.Cash money in banks is not part of “the economy’s” money supply. Cash in a bank’s vault, cash drawers and ATMs (along with the bank’s reserve account balance in its central bank reserve account) is the bank’s money assets: the bank’s “liquidity”.About 20% of the total deposit account money supply exists in people’s and businesses’ commercial bank checking accounts. This is also money that is continously spent-earned in the producer-consumer economy’s buy-sell, spend-earn stream.So about 23–25% of the total money supply is being “spent-earned”, so debtors could theoretically earn all that money, and use it to paydown their bank loans. Banks’ expanded balance sheets would be “reduced” by about 20%: the deposit account money and loan account debt cancel each other out — are “extinguished” — when debtors repay their bank loans. Banks’ deposit liabilities and earning assets are reduced by bank loan repayments.But the producer-consumer economy would have no “money” to conduct its buy-sell, spend-earn, payer-payee transactions. The only money left would be household and corporate “savings”. If savers spent down their savings, then the producer-consumer economy could go to work again, to pay-earn the newly re-circulated savings.DEposit account balances comprise almost all money. You spend deposit account money by debit card, online banking, check, wire transfer, etc. And you earn deposit account money by check or direct deposit into your commercial bank deposit account.{Savers have collectively transferred about 17% of the deposit account money supply out of their commercial bank accounts, into their brokerage accounts in the savings-funded capital markets financial system where the savings become “capital” and savers become capitalist “investors” who buy bonds and stocks to earn the interest and dividend payments. This is the “money markets” money supply, which is spent buying investment assets. It is not spent in the producer-consumer economy, buying stuff that people and businesses work at producing “for sale”.}The central bank and the commercial banks operate the account money “payments system”. When you pay a bill by online banking, you authorize your bank to debit your deposit account balance; and you authorize the payee’s bank to credit the payee’s deposit account balance, in the amount of your payment. Nothing “moves”. Your spendable deposit account balance is reduced by the debit, and the payee’s spendable deposit account balance is increased by the credit. The whole process is accomplished by typing debits and credits into customers’ deposit accounts. Look at your bank statement, and you will see the debits column (your money-spending) and credits column (your money-receiving); and you deposit account “balance” at the bottom of the page. Your balance is your personal deposit account “money supply”.When deposits are paid from a customer of one bank to a customer of a different bank, an equal amount of reserves is paid from the payer bank’s reserve account into the payee bank’s reserve account. The central bank debits payer banks’ accounts and credits payee banks’ accounts. Many back and forth payments cancel each other out, so reserve account payments are lagged and aggregated, rather than done at the same time as deposit account payments.If your deposit account has an insufficient balance to debit, your attempt at payment out of your deposit account fails to “clear”. The payee is not paid. If your bank’s reserve account has an insufficient balance to debit (and if your bank can’t borrow excess reserves from other banks in the overnight market, or from the central bank’s lending facilities), then the bank-to-bank reserve payment fails to “settle”. In both cases, the payment is not made. Your deposit account balance no longer “works” as spendable “money”.“Illiquid” banks have no “base money” (reserves) in their central bank reserve account, to settle their customers’ deposit account payments. In 2008, due to massive mortgage loan defaults, and commercial banks’ derivative counterparty exposure (in the post Glass-Steagall deregulated banking environment): US and European banks suffered systemic liquidity failure.Banks’ earning assets — the defaulting mortgage loans — were not “earning”. They were delinquent, non-performing, defaulting, already defaulted. The millions of recently unemployed debtors had no money (income or savings) to pay their debts, so the banks couldn’t collect the credits they were “owed”. Banks found themselves holding literally 10s of trillions of uncollectable balance sheet assets.But the payees — real estate sellers who earned and now owned all the new deposit account money banks had created as “mortgage loans”, and debtors had borrowed and spent buying price-inflated real estate — still had all of their deposit account balances, which are their banks’ balance sheet deposit liabilities, payable with their bank’s “liquidity” (vault cash and reserve account balances).The banks needed liquidity. They couldn’t borrow it from other banks who still had sufficient liquidity, because nobody trusted each other’s solvency. Who will buy your portfolio of defaulting earning assets, and pay you enough base money to resolve your illiquidty?Central banks will. Just as commercial banks create deposits to purchase debt-assets; so central banks create reserves to purchase debt-assets. Central banks bought trillions of Treasury debt (bonds) and mortgage-backed securities (MBS) from the banks, and paid with newly created credits to the commercial banks’ reserve account balances. Central banks reliquified the commercial banking system. But restoring liquidity does not address the underlying insolvency problem.If a bank makes a $500,000 mortgage loan, based on an assessed real estate value of $550,000, the bank has $550,000 of “collateral assets” to back the new $500,000 debt-asset it purchased, and the new $500,000 deposit liability it created to pay for its asset purchase. If the debtor fails to repay the money (defaults), the bank can foreclose on the house and sell it, to get the money to writedown its balance sheet. But if bubble real estate prices have crashed and the sellable price of the collateral asset is now only $200,000, the bank has lost $300,000 and has to pay out of its loan loss reserves, then out of its capital reserves. Banks rapidly ran out of “their own money” (capital), and couldn’t cover all their bad loans.Mortgaged real estate lost 10s of trillions of ‘value’ (realistic sellable price) after the 2000s mortgage-inflated real estate price bubble burst. Millions of mortgage-debtors defaulted, and the “collectable” asset side of bank balance sheets collapsed by 10s of trillions. But the “payable” deposit liability side has not collapsed. Banks still “owe” their liquidty to their deposit account customers, who are holding 10s of trillions of deposit account balances.The banks owe trillions more payable deposit liabilities, than they have collectable earning assets. The banks are still trillions below $0 “insolvent”.To resolve 1930s banking system insolvency, 1000s of insolvent banks were taken into receivership. Their assets were sold, and the bankruptcy auction proceeds were paid out to the banks’ creditors. Deposit account customers are a bank’s largest class of “unsecured” creditors. Unsecured means you get paid “last” from the bankruptcy auctions, if there is any money left to pay you at all, after “senior” creditors get paid. Which there won’t be, because a 2000s law made derivatives counterparties “supersenior” creditors to commercial banks. And the banks owe far more trillions of derivative liabilities than they have sellable assets.In the 1930s, depositors’ account balances in bankrupt banks were simply written off, as the unpayable money liabilities of bankrupt banks. Depositors were dismayed to discover that their “money in the bank” is not actually “money”. It is the depositor’s money asset that is owed as the bank’s money liability. Banks couldn’t pay their money liabilities, so depositors lost all their “money in the bank”.But this time is different.Instead of letting insolvent banks fail, regulators will bail-in your deposit account balance, to reduce your bank’s unpayable deposit liabilities, and increase your bank’s paid-in capital. Banks will issue millions of new ownership shares, and regulators will use your deposit account balance to purchase those shares on your behalf. The bank gets your money as its capital; and you get shares in your (deeply insolvent) bank.Instead of “having money in the bank”, you will “own shares in the bank”. The bank’s money-debt to you (deposit liability) will be reduced when regulators pay (some or most of) your deposit account money to the bank to buy its new equity shares for you.This is the greatest risk still facing the world: systemic insolvency of the commercial banking system that creates virtually all of the world’s money supply as loans of bank credit, all of which is owed back to banks as debtors’ loan repayment debts and bond debts. When debtors can’t pay their creditor-banks, debtor-banks can’t pay their creditor-depositors. Game over, for the commercial bank balance sheet money supply system.Government-issued debt-free fiat money could solve the problem, but that’s heresy against the conventional (false) wisdom; and a direct threat to the bankers’ monopoly control of the global money-issuing system.
