After the SCO receives my form, how long does it take to go into effect?
You can expect Direct Deposit of your pay warrant(s) to begin within 30 to 45 days after your form is received by the SCO. This time is necessary to verify that an active account exists with your financial institution. Financial institutions are given 20 days to respond. Once this verification has been completed, your next pay warrant will be issued through Direct Deposit.
