We Get Questions...

Q and A
Q.)  We are looking into identifying account holders who are federal employees and affected by the government shutdown. Is there an easy way to accomplish this in our ACH reports? Company Names and Company IDs? Any help is appreciated!
A.)  An Originator Status Code is included in the ACH File Batch Header Record and Government items have an indicator of 2. System permitting, you can also run a report by Company Name and/or Company Entry Description to further differentiate benefits from salary payments; however, there are no set government standards for these fields and you may not be able to recognize all salary payments.
Have a question for TCHPA? Call 800-875-2242 (choose option 3) or email education.services@theclearinghouse.org.
