AF Form 4360: CTOF EFT Guide & PDF Download

AF Form 4360: CTOF EFT Guide & PDF Download – The AF Form 4360, titled Chapel Tithes and Offering Fund (CTOF) Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT), is an official U.S. Air Force form used to set up, modify, or stop electronic payments from the Chapel Tithes and Offering Fund. This nonappropriated fund supports religious programs, worship services, faith group activities, and related chapel initiatives across Air Force installations.

Prescribed by DAFI 52-105 and dated August 6, 2015 (AF FORM 4360, 20150806), the form enables secure direct deposits to U.S. or non-U.S. bank accounts for taxable payments (such as contracts or honoraria) and non-taxable payments (such as reimbursements or advances). It ensures timely, paperless payments while maintaining accountability for CTOF resources.

What Is the Chapel Tithes and Offering Fund (CTOF)?

The CTOF is a legally established nonappropriated fund that provides supplemental financial support for Air Force Chaplain Corps programs. It comes primarily from voluntary tithes, offerings, and donations collected during chapel services. These funds help cover indirect mission requirements, including:

  • Contractor services for religious programs
  • Training, equipment, and faith group activities
  • Project officer advances and reimbursements
  • Honoraria for chapel-sponsored events (under updated guidelines)

CTOF does not supplement appropriated funds and operates under strict oversight per DAFMAN 52-107 and related instructions. Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) is the preferred payment method to enhance efficiency and reduce administrative burden.

Note: For general donations to CTOF, many installations offer online platforms (such as Acceptiva), but AF Form 4360 specifically handles outgoing EFT payments from the fund to recipients.

Who Needs to Complete AF Form 4360?

  • Contractors providing services to chapel programs (required before processing monthly invoices via AF Form 4357)
  • Project officers receiving advances or reimbursements for authorized CTOF events
  • Honoraria recipients or other individuals entitled to taxable/non-taxable payments from CTOF
  • Account managers at the installation level who facilitate the process

The form must be on file with the Chaplain Corps Accounting Center (CCAC) or equivalent CTOF accounting section before payments can be issued. Account managers ensure the completed AF Form 4360 is submitted to support EFT setup.

Why Use EFT for CTOF Payments?

  • Efficiency: Faster processing than checks; payments go directly to your account.
  • Security: Reduces risk of lost or stolen paper checks.
  • Compliance: Mandated preference in DAFMAN 52-107 for contractor payments, advances, and reimbursements.
  • Accountability: All transactions tie back to approved projects, with supporting forms like AF Form 4362 (Project Officer Report) and AF Form 4357 (Monthly Statement of Contract Services).

Contractors must submit services documentation after deliverables, and payments occur only after verification. Project officers return unused funds and receipts within 10 calendar days of event completion.
