What is the easiest way I can protect my bank account, and avoid missing a direct deposit paycheck?
Contact your bank and open a new account. Once a new account number is established, contact the Peopleline at (866) 274-6438 or TSAHRServices@accenture.com to have your direct deposit re-routed. Be aware that it may take a few weeks for that change to be processed. You should not completely close the old account as that will stop the direct deposit of salaries. It is important to keep the account that receives your direct deposit open until that deposit is rerouted. You may also log onto the Employee Personal Page (EPP) at www.nfc.usda.gov, to change your account information so that your pay check will go to that new account. Continue to monitor your bank statements regularly, and contact your bank should you identify any suspicious transaction activity.
