McVeagh Orders Change in Treasury Disbursement Methods
Secretary McVeagh ordered a major shift in federal disbursement operations to reduce cash handling and avoid exchange on government checks. Starting February 1, disbursing officers’ checks drawn on the treasurer may be cashed by any national bank designated as a U S depository, with banks replenishing accounts from receipts and forwarding excess funds to sub-treasuries. The plan extends the clearing house concept, distributes disbursements more equitably, and aims to simplify pension payments without requiring currency exchanges.
