The text

EFT information that shows the ultimate recipient of the transfer to be other than the contractor, in the absence of a proper assignment of claims, is considered to be incorrect EFT information within the meaning of the “Suspension of Payment” paragraphs of the EFT clauses at 52.232-33 and 52.232-34.

Sections it refers to

  • 52.232-33 Payment by Electronic Funds Transfer—System for Award Management.
