SUBJECT:

UCSD'S Disbursement Check

The Disbursements Division of Business and Financial Services is
pleased to announce the implementation of UCSD's new disbursement
check. The new format, which increases efficiency by eliminating the
manual handling of a check and a separate envelope is a combined
pressure seal check and transmittal envelope. (Please note that in
special cases when documents must be remitted along with a paper
check, we can accommodate this requirement by the use of a custom
envelope designed for this purpose.)

While the implementation of the new check will further expedite the
payment process, we would also like to take this opportunity to
encourage all payees and especially UCSD employees to take advantage
of Disbursements Direct Deposit (DDD). The electronic direct
depositing of funds is rapidly replacing checks worldwide because it
is a more efficient and economical method of issuing payment. At
UCSD, payees using DDD have their funds electronically deposited
directly to their designated bank accounts. They are then notified
either by a paper, or as in most cases, by an E-Mail, confirmation
with information on the date, amount, and description of the deposit.

If you would like to either have more information about DDD for UCSD
employees and/or vendors or would like to enroll yourself, please
either contact the Disbursements Division at extension 44080 or visit
our Web site at http://www-bfs.ucsd.edu/dis/ddd.htm.
