✅ Compliance Rule #3 - Confirm date RECEIVED!
Received a check? The "date received" is important to track. It is NOT always the date on the check! It is the date the campaign has it in hand. Don't just smile — document it properly. COPY the check BEFORE you deposit it in the bank. And document, document, document....
✍️ What to do:
- Save everything — check, envelope, and any supporting docs.
- Write the date received in pencil on the envelope (that’s the real reportable date)
- Keep track of who signed the check and from what entity
🏢 Entity Breakdown:
- Individual check? Use the name of the signer. If joint account, the contributor is the person signing, even if the spouse/partner comes to the event. Both people have their own contribution limit. Which means, you can take money from them both. But ONLY if they each sign different checks!
- Business check? Use the business name.
- LLC? Report the name and principal officer. And quick reminder, LLC's also might have other reporting obligations. Check out the Form 409!
