How to Complete the ACH Authorization Form
Main Content
PHEAA reimburses participating State Work-Study Program (SWSP) employers via Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT). All SWSP employers must complete an Automated Clearing House (ACH) Authorization Authorization Agreement (PDF).
Follow these instructions:
| Step | Instructions |
|---|---|
| Step 1. Identify your bank routing and transit number and bank account number. | We need to know your bank routing and transit number (request this 9-digit number from your bank) and the bank account number to which we should transfer the funds. |
| Step 2. Provide your bank's address. | List the bank's address on the ACH Authorization Agreement. |
| Step 3. Return your completed ACH Authorization Agreement. |
If your organization has a PHEAA-assigned department code, please note the department name and code on the ACH Authorization Agreement and return it: By U.S. Mail By Fax |
Once we receive your completed ACH Authorization Agreement, we will verify the data with your bank and begin processing all payments via EFT.
