New Voice Response System for TT&L Coming in July

---

On July 10, the Fed will implement a new voice response system for the Treasury Tax and Loan (TT&L) program. Dubbed the TT&L National Voice Response System, it will replace EDITH as the method for submitting Advice of Credit (AOC) Form 2284 information. The new system is being introduced as part of the implementation of two new TT&L applications, the Treasury Investment Program (TIP) and the Paper Tax System (PATAX).

The TT&L National Voice Response System is to be used only for the TT&L program. Institutions will continue to use EDITH to receive check totals, submit cash orders and process ACH returns and Notifications of Change (NOCs). Starting July 10, however, TT&L functionality will be removed from EDITH, and a message will remind callers to use the new system to process AOCs.

The new system performs two key functions: It allows users to enter AOC information and provides information on the percent and due date of pending Treasury withdrawals. Financial institutions can obtain additional TT&L account information by soliciting reports through FedLine® software or by reviewing the end-of-day statement automatically delivered via FedLine. We recommend that institutions that typically use only FedLine for AOC entry also sign up for the new voice response system as a backup.

In April, institutions that use EDITH to enter AOCs will receive a mailing that provides instructions for using the TT&L National Voice Response System and outlines a new security process controlled by a Local Security Administrator designated by each financial institution. The mailing will also announce a period between May and June when users may practice accessing the new system.
