• Review amounts shown on A-220 reports for multiyear members and adjust your dedicated funds for these advance payments.  Remove the advance payment funds from dedicated funds for multiyear members at their anniversary date.  (Tabular data sheet by year and month of deposit is the best way to track these amounts.)
