Midday Validation Process
TIN/Mail Code Status Check
The midday validation process can also be used to check whether the TIN and/or mail code is set up in TINS or if a payee master and/or mail code setup is required. If the TIN and/or mail code is found, the output file will include the active or inactive status of the TIN and/or mail code in fields on the output file layout.
| If the submitted … | Then … |
|---|---|
| TIN and/or mail code is not on file | Submit a payee master and/or mail code setup before payments can be issued for the TIN and mail code. |
| TIN and/or TIN and mail code is inactive | Contact Payment Services or submit a Payee Change Request form (74-157) to request reactivation of the TIN or mail code. If the mail code was inactivated during the monthly mail code cleanup inactivation process, agencies can submit a midday input file to request reactivation as long as the address indicator is not blank. |
| TIN and mail code are active | Payments may be issued to the TIN and mail code. |
