TINS Direct Deposit Web-Based Training

Lesson 3: Setting Up Direct Deposit

Payee Direct Deposit Setup (PDDSUP) Screen

PDDSUP is used to set up a payee to receive direct deposit payments. Users must have the proper security to access TINS online entry screens. Contact your agency security coordinator if you do not have access.

To perform updates on TINS entry screens, an 11-digit TIN is required. Only inquiry screens allow the use of a 10-digit TIN when the system-assigned 7 TIN and/or the check digit is not known. The TINS Payee Number Matrix PDF defines the TIN requirement for each TINS entry screen and type of updates.

Custodial Agency

The agency that sets up direct deposit for each payee’s mail code becomes the custodial agency for that mail code. A single payee may have multiple mail codes with different custodial agencies. Only the custodial agency can:

  • Change or cancel direct deposit for that mail code.
  • View the direct deposit information if the mail code’s Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) code is not 9903.

Accessing PDDSUP

There are two methods to access PDDSUP.

Method 1. From the TINS – Update Menu (PYMENU) screen:

  • Enter PYMENU on line 1 on any TINS screen and select Enter.
  • Enter E (PDDSUP) in the ENTER OPTION field and select Enter.

Prenotification Period

When direct deposit is set up or changed, a test transaction with zero dollars, referred to as a prenotification (prenote), is sent through the ACH network to the payee’s RDFI. This lets the RDFI know that direct deposit payments will follow, and that verification of the payee’s account information must be confirmed. The prenote period is three banking days from the date direct deposit was set up or changed. If payments are processed during the three-day prenote period, warrants are issued.

If the prenote information … Then …
Is correct The RDFI will not respond to the prenote, and direct deposit becomes effective after three banking days.
Is not correct

The RDFI is required to return a notification of change (NOC) to the Comptroller’s office via the ACH network.

See Lesson 7, NOCs and Process Reports.
