Direct Deposit Reminder

As announced in the July open forums, Direct Deposit of Travel
Reimbursements will be suspended beginning November 1, 2003 until the
implementation of the new Human Resource Management System (HRMS).

Additionally, state personnel filing travel claims will need to be added to
the vendor file to permit a payment to be processed.  In an attempt to
reduce the manual effort involved, personnel that have traveled in the last
18 months were added to the new vendor file by copying employee address
information from OPM files.  Other employees may be added or addresses
changed by following the instructions issued earlier this month which are
available on the Core website.

Employee vendor information can be accessed in two ways.  One, by typing in
the last name and the system will bring up an alphabetical pick-list.
Employees are generally listed last name first, however some may be found
under first name instead.  Please try both inquiries before submitting
lists to be added.  A second method is by typing the vendor ID if known at
the time of claim entry.  Since employees typically record SSN on the
travel claim form, you may consider requesting that employees record the
vendor ID if it is known instead the of SSN.  This will improve the
accuracy of the payments and reduce the claim processing time.

Once the HRMS application is implemented, the "copy" function as covered in
the direct voucher training manuals will be available, and direct deposits
can resume.  We apologize for this temporary inconvenience.
