(B) Except as provided in paragraph (C) of this rule, effective August 1, 2017, an individual who receives an annuity, pension, allowance, monthly benefit, or monthly payment from the Ohio police and fire pension fund ("OP&F") shall be paid by direct deposit, which is an electronic fund transfer directly to an individual's account at a financial institution.
