I believe the U.S. government has accounts at every bank that is a member of the Federal Reserve.

Most of these accounts are used to collect payroll taxes from businesses. I don’t know if they are special purpose accounts used only for that purpose or not. I would expect that the Treasury Dept does have accounts at all of the Federal Reserve banks.

Ownership of the Federal Reserve banks is unlike any other corporation n the nation. The government shares normal ownership functions with member banks.

But you should be able to look up the NY Fed’s phone number and call the bank and confirm the account that you are supposed to send money to, is indeed an account owned by the U.S. government.
