Standard Form 1145 (SF 1145): Voucher for Payment Under Federal Tort Claims Act

Standard Form 1145 (SF 1145), Voucher for Payment Under Federal Tort Claims Act, is a Department of the Treasury form, printed as Standard Form 1145 (EG), Revised 1/92, with the reference 1 TFM 4-2000. GSA hosts a copy in its forms library.

The voucher records a payment by the United States on a claim under the Federal Tort Claims Act: the department, bureau or establishment, the payee and address, the amount claimed, the date the claim accrued, and the amount of award, compromise, or settlement. It then carries three signature blocks: the claimants' acceptance, approval by the head of the Federal agency or an authorized designee under 28 U.S.C. 2673, and certification by an authorized certifying officer. Each block is marked SIGN ORIGINAL ONLY.
