patient's copy of the deposit record for these patients is not released to the patient but is
retained by the intermediate individual.
b. Subsequent Deposits.
(1) When the patient wishes to make additional deposits of funds or valuables, he
presents his copy of the deposit record to the custodian with the funds and/or valuables.
The custodian itemizes and enters the amount of funds and/or valuables together with the
date of deposit on both his and the patient's copy of the deposit record. The custodian
signs both copies and returns the patient's copy to the patient.
(2) When the patient is physically unable to go to the custodian's office, the
procedures outline in paragraph 5-6b (2) are used.
(3) When the patient's signature cannot be obtained, DA Form 3696 or DA Form
3983, as aappropriate, is signed by a witness as described in paragraph 5-6b(2).
c. Partial Withdrawals.
(1) When a patient wishes to make a partial withdrawal of funds or
valuables, he presents his copy of the deposit record to the custodian who makes the
proper entries on both copies of the deposit record. The patient signs both copies to
receipt for the withdrawal. The custodian requires proper identification and ascertains that
the signature is authentic. The patient retains his copy of the deposit record.
(2) When the patient is physically unable to go to the custodian's office, the
procedures outlined in paragraph 5-6b(2) are used.
(3) When a patient wishes to make a partial withdrawal but is physically unable to
sign the necessary forms, one of the above procedures is followed except that the
signature of a witness is secured in lieu of that of the patient.
(4) The preferred method of handling partial withdrawals of funds or valuables by
closed ward neuropsychiatric patients and patients under restraint for medical reasons is a
direct transaction between the patient and the custodian. When this is not practical, the
procedure using an intermediate individual is followed. However, no partial withdrawals by
patients in this category are permitted unless the patient acknowledges receipt with his
signature.
(5) No partial withdrawals are made from deposits of patients who have been
declared mentally incompetent.
