• Make sure name and address of account holder are printed legibly on the check (many students open new accounts and use starter checks with no name or address on them, and we can’t read the signature)
• ALL checks must be clearly marked with the participants name that it should be credited to.
• You can NOT write a check that was written to you over to Reliant (payable to Reliant).  Reliant can only receive checks written directly to them for auditing purposes. 
• We would strongly prefer only one check per collection payment.  
  
  

  Ensure that each check or money order received has the following information printed legibly on it:

  •  Participant’s name – printed legibly
  •  Address
  •  Amount – numeric amount should match written amount
  •  Check or money order number associated with the payment.  (please assign unique numbers to starter checks, write it on the check and in the ledger sheet)
  •  Date
  •  Signature
  
  
  
• Students raising financial support on their own (are required to fill out the FINANCIAL INTEGRITY FORM) must have their donors make their checks payable to the student, not to Reliant, and donor checks must be given directly to the student.  See Why are LT fees not tax deductible? for details. 
• The program participant will always need to pay Reliant with a check or money order written from the participant or from a parent with the same last name with the exception of accepting a work paycheck written over to Reliant). 
• All other checks received by the participants from the donors need to be deposited into the participant's account and a new check must be written to Reliant from the participant. We will not allow students to sign over to Reliant a donor’s check written to them (PAY TO THE ORDER OF RELIANT on the back) because that check from the donor to the participant is not tax deductible. 
• If a student receives a check from a supporter/donor written directly to Reliant they will need to return the check to the donor and ask them to rewrite the check payable to the student. 
• We will also NOT allow a student to sign over their paycheck to Reliant.  (*In the past this was allowed, but due to new auditing rules we can no longer accept any checks (including paychecks) that have not be written out directly to Reliant.
