5-4. Account Termination

a. Only cardholders with a continuing need to use the GPC will retain their card and appointment. At least 60 calendar days prior to reassignment, separation, or retirement, the CH or BO should notify the A/OPC of their change in status and begin to transition their duties and files over to another appointed organization representative. The BO must advise the Level 4 A/OPC when a CH no longer has a continuing need to use the card or when the CH transfers to other duties or organizations, retires, or leaves Government service.

b. The Level 4 A/OPC will terminate the CH’s or BO’s appointment in JAM, close the account in the servicing bank, and remove the User ID. The physical card must be destroyed. When a CH account is terminated or closed, the CH will surrender the GPC and submit the account documentation to the BO.

c. When a BO vacates their assignment, and a new BO is assigned, all CH accounts remain active under the existing managing account. The departing BO must reconcile their account within US Bank and with Financial Management prior to vacating their GPC roles and responsibilities. CH accounts will be suspended anytime there is no an Alternate BO or BO assigned to the managing account.

d. Military and civilian out-processing checklists must include a mandatory A/OPC sign-off for BOs and CHs.
