Guidelines

  • Processing order: some states restrict largest-to-smallest; verify governing state law [VERIFY]
  • Federal benefit setoff: prohibited against Social Security, VA, and other federal benefits under 31 CFR Part 212 [VERIFY applicable types]
  • Reg D savings limits: federal enforcement of 6-transfer limit suspended; confirm institution's contractual policy
  • Escheatment: varies by state (3–5 years); verify governing state's unclaimed property statute
  • Electronic disclosures: Reg CC/​E/​DD may only be delivered electronically after ESIGN Act § 101(c) consent
  • Cite regulations in Bluebook format; verify effective dates via CFPB, OCC, FDIC, or Federal Reserve sources
