What cost will FPAs incur for digital imaging and PACER On-Line?
FMS will not charge an agency to utilize PACER On-Line. Agencies may incur costs for the requisite hardware and software (see Equipment Requirements list). The main charge to the user will be the telephone line usage charges incurred while on-line, receiving or transmitting information. There is no charge for DIs of checks that are less than 18 months old (since the check was issued). The only charge payable to FMS will be a charge for check images that are older than 18 months (following date the of issuance) which is also done in today’s environment. The current cost is $5.50. FMS is currently developing a cost strategy for check copies in an imaging environment.
