USPS SSA Window Practice Exam

What transaction type requires filling out form 8105A?

1. Purchases under $100

2. Cashing a check

3. Money orders purchased in amounts of $3000 or more

4. Filing a complaint

The correct answer is: Money orders purchased in amounts of $3000 or more

Form 8105A is specifically used for transactions related to money orders purchased in amounts of $3,000 or more. This form is designed to help the USPS monitor suspicious activities related to large transactions, aligning with federal laws aimed at preventing money laundering and other financial crimes. When a customer requests to purchase money orders totaling $3,000 or more, staff must complete this specific form to document the transaction properly. Other transaction types mentioned, such as purchases under $100, cashing a check, and filing a complaint, do not require the completion of form 8105A as they fall outside the criteria and documentation requirements established for large money order purchases. Thus, the correct answer highlights the specific regulatory measure associated with larger financial transactions.
