by the authorized individual requesting check cashing privileges. By 
signing the form, the individual is freely and voluntarily consenting 
to the immediate collection from their current pay, without prior 
notice, for the face value of any check cashed, plus any charges 
assessed against the government by a financial institution, in the 
event the check is dishonored. In the event the check is dishonored, 
the disbursing office will complete and certify the reverse side of the 
form and forward the form to the applicable payroll office for 
collection from the individual's current pay.
