a. Level 3 and 4 A/OPCs have the authority to suspend BO and CH accounts due to non-compliance with GPC policies and procedures.

b. Automatic Suspensions. Requests for suspension exemptions for BO accounts with operational emergencies may be granted on a case-by-case basis. Exemption requests must be submitted in writing from the Level 4 A/OPC, through the Level 3, to the Level 2 point of contact. In accordance with DoD business practices, U.S. Bank will automatically suspend BO accounts under the following conditions:

1) BO’s account goes over 60 days past due (90 days after the billing date). The managing account and all card accounts under it are suspended until the delinquent payment has posted.

2) BO’s account goes over 180 days past due (210 days after the billing date). All managing accounts assigned under the Level 4 agent are suspended until delinquent payment has posted. The delinquent managing account is permanently closed (T9).

3) BO’s account has more than 20 open card and/or checking accounts. The managing account is suspended unless a waiver has been approved by the Army Level 2 A/OPC.

4) Before reopening a closed account due to a delinquent payment, the Level 3 and/or 4 A/OPC will document that U.S. Bank received full payment. Only the Army Level 2 may reopen suspended accounts prior to payment being received by U.S. Bank. Accounts will be closed permanently if more than two suspensions occur within a 12-month period. Only the Army Level 2 A/OPC may approve waivers to this policy.
