8. FMS Trust FundBandarian Case YCY Learning Objective 2 - Understand the purpose of the FMS trust fund and related accounts maintained by Defense Finance and Accounting Service, Indianapolis Center (DFAS-IN).
The FMS Trust Fund is used for payments received from purchasers and disbursements made against implemented FMS cases. Payments must identify the case designator and reason for the payment.
In addition to the Trust Fund, DFAS-IN maintains a holding account(s) for most countries. The holding account is a sub-account of moneys not identified to a specific FMS case. Normally after a case is closed, surplus funds are transferred to a holding account and the country may apply the funds to other cases or have the funds returned. The purchaser may sign a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) for cross leveling with DFAS-IN. Cross leveling authorizes DFAS-IN to transfer, via the purchaser's holding account, collections from one case to another. Overpayments on one case can be used to help cover amounts due and payable on another case. The Holding Account may also be used for MAP Merger Funds, Third Country Recoupments, Buybacks, and Interest Bearing Account transactions.Learning Objective 2 - Understand the purpose of the FMS trust fund and related accounts maintained by Defense Finance and Accounting Service, Indianapolis Center (DFAS-IN).
