7-1. Refunds Overview

a. The servicing bank will provide the CPM a summary report of refunds broken down by quarter, Level 3 hierarchy, and Level 2 fund centers. The report is due 30 calendar days after the quarter ends. The servicing bank will provide training and assistance to the CPM and Level 3 A/OPCs in recalculating the Army refunds as required by DPCAP and the GSA SmartPay® 3 Contract. The servicing bank, in coordination with the CPM, will annually review refunds such as merchant credits, uncashed checks, and other miscellaneous refunds (foreign currency exchange fee) to ensure the Army receives all refunds due (both CONUS and OCONUS).

b. Any refunds or credits due to the Army may be received in a manner agreed to between the Army and the servicing bank (e.g., ACH, checks).

c. The Army will coordinate with DFAS quarterly regarding collected and outstanding refunds.

d. If DFAS does not receive the DD 1131 within 30 calendar days of the servicing bank’s refund email notification, HQDA ASA/ALT (SAAR-ZR) will collect the outstanding refunds. If the refunds are not collected within 60 calendar days, DFAS will forward the refunds to Treasury account 21R3210.
