TINS Bankruptcy File (BKRUPD)

The BKRUPD screen contains information about a TINS hold debtor who has filed for bankruptcy.

BKRUPD can be used either for:

BKRUPD calculates the check digit for a TIN in both Line 1 Entry and in the BANKRUPTCY TIN field.

When the hold record is set up under an SSN or ITIN, the assigned 7 TIN is required to add, change or delete a bankruptcy record. Only the R (Recall) action allows for entry of either the 2 TIN or 7 TIN. See Payee Number Matrix.

Change a Bankruptcy Record

If an error was made during the ADD action on the CASE NO or CHAPTER NO fields, the bankruptcy record must be deleted and re-entered with the correct information. A change to those fields cannot be made. See Delete a Bankruptcy Record.

Steps (Change BKRUPD):

  1. An R=RECALL action is first required with an 11-digit TIN. Follow the Access instructions to recall a BKRUPD record.
  2. Review the TINS message displayed at the bottom of the screen:
    • Bankruptcy Record Not Found: Verify that the TIN was entered correctly and see Add a Bankruptcy Record.
    • User’s Security Agency Not Equal to Record’s Input Source – The bankruptcy record was set up by another agency, and only a user from that agency may change the record.
    • Record Successfully Recalled: Verify the bankruptcy record displayed
      • If this is the correct record, go to Step 3.
      • If the TIN is correct, but the CHAPTER NO is different:
        • Use the PF8=FRWD key to scroll through any multiple bankruptcy records for the TIN
        • Select the correct record
        • Go to Step 3
  3. ACTION: Change the default R (Recall) in this field to C (Change) and press Enter.

    Note: The INPUT SOURCE field will auto-fill the user’s agency number and is a protected field. The CASE NO and CHAPTER NO fields are also protected, and the bankruptcy record must be deleted and re-entered if there is an error in these fields.

  4. BANKRUPTCY NAME: If needed, correct the debtor name displayed, up to 50 characters. Periods, commas and % are not allowed in the name field.
  5. DATE FILED: If needed, correct the date displayed, using the MM/DD/YYYY format
  6. FEDERAL COURT: If needed, correct the court’s name displayed, up to 50 characters
  7. Press Enter.
  8. Update Record? (Y/N) will display. Review the information to verify it is correct. Enter Y or N and press Enter:
    • Y (Yes) if the information is correct
    • N (No) if the information is not correct

    Note: An entry of Y will display a successful update of the record. An entry of N provides the opportunity to verify and re-enter the correct information.
