Follow the steps to fill out the U.S. Treasury Check Security Features form.

1. Press the ‘Get Form’ button to access the U.S. Treasury Check Security Features form and open it in your preferred editing tool.
2. Begin by reviewing the Treasury Seal section, which identifies the appropriate bureau. Check for the 'Bureau of the Fiscal Service' label, noting that previous seals with 'Financial Management Service' may still appear.
3. Examine the Bleeding Ink feature, located to the right of the Statue of Liberty. Ensure that the black ink of the seal turns red when moisture is applied, confirming authenticity.
4. Locate the Ultraviolet Overprinting Pattern and Microprinting sections. Ensure you can identify the microprinted words under magnification, as they should not appear as solid lines or dots when inspected closely.
5. Check for the Watermark by holding the document up to light. The watermark should read 'U.S. TREASURY' clearly on both the front and back of the check; absence of this feature suggests a counterfeit check.
6. Investigate the protective ultraviolet pattern. When using a black light, ensure that the 'FMS' and 'FISCALSERVICE' markings appear correctly under the seals without any alterations that may cause discoloration.
7. Once all sections have been reviewed and filled out, save your changes to the document. You may choose to download, print, or share the completed form as necessary.
