Treasury Department to Phaseout Paper Checks

 

Effective September 30, 2025, the executive order "Modernizing Payments to and From America’s Bank Account" calls for the Treasury Department to stop disbursement of paper checks. Going forward receipts of payments (i.e., refund checks) from the Treasury will have to be deposited electronically with limited exceptions.
The Federal Government will also begin to phaseout the receipt of paper payments as soon as practicable.
