CX-A" C C. FED ERAL RESERVE BANK OF NEW YORK January 17, 19 7 I+ TREASURY S U P P LEMENTAL SECURITY INCOME P R OGRAM Special Interim Payment Checks (Westchester County) To A l l B a n king Institutions Located in W e s t c hester County, New York: On N ovember 29, 1973 we informed the chief executive officers of all banks in the Second Federal Reserve District of the issuance, b e g i n n i n g January 197^, b y the Treasury Department of monthly Supplemental Security Income checks, which are yellow in color and b e a r A B A routing symbol/transit numb e r 0000-0050. In addition, on December 27, 1973, in Circular No. 7308, w e advised all banks, and others concerned, in the Second Federal Reserve District that under the new Supplemental Security Income Program, green-colored Treasury checks w o u l d be issued to make advance payments immediately to c l a i m a n t s . The advance-payment checks are drawn to the order of designated c a s h i e r s , and b e a r A B A routing symbol/transit number 0000- 0051 . The Treas u r y Department has now asked us to notify banking institutions in W e s t c h e s t e r County, New York, that special interim p a y ment checks are b e i n g issued, effective J a n uary 17, 197*+, to certain Supplemental Secur i t y Income beneficiaries in Westchester County. These special interim payment checks are yellow in color and bear A B A routing symbol/transit 'number 0000-0050. The checks are be i n g p r epared by typewriter, bear a Birmingham, A l a b a m a dateline, and are signed by "R.L. Langdon." Since these checks are b e i n g p r e p a r e d b y typewriter, some bankers have questioned their authenticity. The purpose of this letter is to alert y o u to the appearance of these checks, w h i c h are authentic, are i ntended to be issued for a limited period of time, and are c urrently b e i n g issued only in New Yo r k City and Westchester County. Since the check routing number, 0000-0050, for the special interim payment checks is the same as that for the computer-prepared, yellow S u p p lemental S e curity Income checks issued m o n thly and the buff-c o l o r e d Government checks , the special interim payment checks should be included in cash letter deposits w i t h these items. The special interim payment checks should not be commingled in cash letter deposits of green-colored Government checks (ABA routing symbol/transit number 0000-0051.) Alfred Hayes, President. <Lr
