The debit from the Contractor’s account will usually occur within 24 hours and will be shown on the regular account statement. The Contractor will not receive the original check back. The Government will destroy the Contractor’s original check, but will keep a copy of it. If the EFT cannot be processed for technical reasons, the Contractor authorizes the Government to process the copy in place of the original check. C.
