WORKS PROGRESS ADMINISTRATION
FEDERAL PROJECT NO. 1
NEW YORK CITY

TO: ALL EMPLOYEES
FROM: ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICER
SUBJECT: MAILED CHECKS

ADMINISTRATIVE MEMO. NO. 29
DATE: DECEMBER 28, 1937


IMPORTANT NOTICE
YOU MUST FILL IN FOLLOWING FORMS IMMEDIATELY

The Treasury Department has notified us that effective with all payrolls which are paid on or after January 17, 1938, checks for everyone on Federal Project No. 1 will be mailed to the address which is recorded with the Timekeeping Department.

You will be furnished with a "Mail Check Request" Form WPA..FP..1027 which must be filled out in duplicate and turned in to your Timekeeper immediately.

Whenever you move after the first address is filed, you must make out "Change of Address Notice" Form WPA..FP..1007 in triplicate and deliver it promptly to your Timekeeper. All checks will be mailed to the latest address on file in the Timekeeping Department.

If your address changes after the closing date of your payroll period and before the payoff date, it will be necessary for you to make arrangements with the Postal Authorities and execute their form 22 entitled "Notice of Change". In cases where you have given the Timekeeper your new address prior to the closing date of the payroll, the above is not necessary. Your attention is called to the fact that if it is necessary for you to make forwarding arrangements with the Postal Authorities, it will probably mean delay of at least one day. You are, therefore, urged to always notify your Timekeeper so that the address on the time report will be the location at which you live on the payoff date. 

Postal regulations forbid a "General Delivery" address for checks. Postmen may not leave Government Checks in instances where no one is home at the address given unless there is a post-box bearing the name of the employee which is locked. Delivery to the desk at a hotel or to the person in charge of a boarding house is allowable under their regulations.

For your own protection, turn in the form WPA..FP..1027 in duplicate immediately to your Timekeeper and notify him promptly of any subsequent change of address.
