In order for your organization to receive grant funds via electronic funds transfer (EFT), you must complete a Vendor Direct Deposit form annually and submit it directly to the Department of Financial Services.
If your governing agency has already completed the State of Florida ACH Payment Authorization form in the current calendar year and opted to receive payments electronically, then the Division will electronically transmit your LSTA award payments to you. You will receive payment notification from the Division.
