                     DEPOSIT TICKET
     
          This chapter prescribes the preparation and use of
     the SF 215: Deposit Ticket, for crediting deposits to
     the Department of the Treasury (Treasury), Financial
     Management Service (FMS).
     
     Section 3010 - Scope and Applicability
     
          The following versions of this form are used to
     report deposits, and are illustrated in Appendix 1 for
     General Depositaries and Appendix 2 for Federal Reserve
     Banks (FRBs):
     
          o    SF 215 - For all agencies, except Internal
     Revenue Service (IRS) and U.S. Customs (Customs).
     
          o    SF 215A - For IRS only.
     
          o    SF 215B - For Customs only.
     
     Section 3015 - Preparing the Deposit Ticket
     
          Because the SF 215 is processed on optical
     character recognition (OCR) equipment, the following
     requirements must be strictly adhered to:
     
          o    Blocks 2, 3, 4, and 5 (memorandum copy) must
     be typed single-spaced and in the fonts specified as
     follows:
     
          All depositors are to use American National Stan-
     dards Institute's OCR A font (ANSI OCR-A) 10-pitch (10
     characters per inch) when completing these blocks. If
     ANSI OCR-A is not available use Pica 10-pitch. Elite
     12-pitch may be used but is less preferred than the
     fonts previously listed. Specialty fonts such as
     Adjutant, Advocate, Artisan, Courier, Delegate, Gothic,
     Italic, Scribe, Script, and so forth are not
     acceptable.
     
          o    Typeovers, erasures, and other corrections
     cannot be made to entries in these blocks. 
     
     3015.10 - Deposit Number
     
          The SF 215's Block 1 is preprinted with a 6-digit
     deposit number, which is the only number used by FMS's
     central accounting and reporting systems to generate
     audit and reconciliation reports for depositor
     agencies. This number must not be altered, typed over,
     or changed in any manner. Although this form is
     prenumbered, it is not necessary to account for voided
     or spoiled forms.
     
     3015.20 - Date Presented or Mailed to Bank
     
          The date the document was mailed or presented for
     deposit is typed in Block 2 in 2-digit groups in month,
     day, and year order, separated by hyphens, and zero-filled
     for single-digit dates. For example, January 2,
     1991 would be typed -- 01-02-91.
     
     3015.30 - Agency Location Code (ALC) for Deposits with
     General Depositaries
     
          Block 3 will be completed using the depositor's
     ALC (I TFM 5-1030.50). Only one depositor's ALC may be
     shown on each SF 215. Entries will be left-justified
     and single-spaced. Hyphens will be used after the 2nd
     and 4th digits of 8-digit ALCs.
     
          Examples:
     
          o    4-digit ALC: 1234
     
          o    8-digit ALC: 20-16-1200
     
     3015.40 - CA$H-LINK Identification Number (CIN) for
     Deposits With FRBs and Branches
     
          Block 3 will be completed using the depositor's
     CIN. The CIN (I TFM 5-2000, Appendix 3) is a nine-digit
     number assigned to each ALC by the Federal Reserve
     system. Only one depositor's CIN may be shown on each
     SF 215. Entries will be left-justified and single-spaced. A
     hyphen will be used after the 8th digit of
     the 9-digit CIN. 
     
          Examples:
     
          o    CIN 000012345 is typed -- 00001234-5
     
          o    CIN 200917003 is typed -- 20091700-3
     
     3015.50 - Deposit Amount
     
          Report the total deposit amount (including cents)
     in Block 4. Use appropriate commas and decimal points,
     but omit dollar and cent signs (for example,
     9,999,999.99).
     
     3015.60 - Date Confirmed by Bank (Use of Block 5,
     Memorandum Copy)
     
          When initially making a deposit, the depositor
     will retain the memorandum and agency copies of the SF
     215. While the agency copy must be retained on file,
     the memorandum copy may later be either retained or
     destroyed. If the memorandum copy is retained, agencies
     may choose to update it as follows: after the
     depositary confirms the deposit and returns the
     confirmed copy to the depositor, the depositor may
     transcribe the confirmed date from Block 8 of the
     confirmed copy to Block 5 of the memorandum copy. Do
     not submit memorandum copies to Treasury. 
     
     3015.70 - Agency Use
     
          Use Block 6 for classification by appropriation,
     fund, or receipt account, if Treasury requires such
     information for reporting cash position management,
     interest computation, investment actions, and so forth,
     or if required by depositing agencies' internal
     procedures. Separate document numbers for internal
     agency use will be entered only in this block.
     
     Section 3020 - Courtesy Deposit
     
          Agencies will use only their own ALCs to make
     deposits for credit to Treasury's account. If an agency
     receives funds that should be deposited under another
     ALC, it should--
     
          o    Deposit the funds under its own ALC.
     
          o    Classify the transaction to either its
     suspense account X6875 or budget clearing account
     F3875.
     
          o    Draw and forward a Treasury check to the ALC
     for which the funds were deposited.
     
          IMPORTANT - Please note the following exception:
     
          If the paying and receiving agencies report to
     Treasury on SF 224: Statement of Transactions, use the
     on-line billing and collection function (via GOALS, I
     TFM 6-1000, or SF 1081: Voucher and Schedule of
     Withdrawals and Credits).
     
     Section 3025 - Daily Deposits
     
          Each office that deposits for credit to an ALC (to
     general depositaries) or a CIN (to FRBs) will prepare
     only one SF 215 per ALC or CIN per day. Exceptions will
     be considered if--
     
          o    An agency provides written justification
     (including a contact name and telephone number) to
     FMS's Banking Operations Branch (see Contacts page)
     explaining why such requirements are incompatible with
     its accounting and reporting systems.
     
          o    Depositaries require separate SF 215s for
     currency and coin and other types of remittances.
     However, depositaries will not require separate SF 215s
     without prior approval from FMS (see Contacts page for
     address).
     
     Section 3030 - Adjustments
     
          The SF 215 cannot be recalled, corrected, nor
     resubmitted even if an error is discovered after it has
     been released to a depositary. When errors are detected
     and the deposit has not yet been reported depositors
     must instruct the depositary to prepare--
     
          o    An additional SF 215 for the difference if
     the deposit amount is to be increased.
     
          o    An SF 5515: Debit Voucher (Appendix 2) for
     the difference if the deposit amount is to be
     decreased. 
     
          If an error is discovered any day subsequent to
     the day of deposit the depositary will--
     
          o    Reverse the incorrect voucher and report the
     correct information. General depositaries are provided
     specific instructions in V TFM. The FRBs are provided
     specific instructions in II TFM and in the Federal
     Reserve's Reference Manual.
      
          o    The original voucher number and the original
     date and ALC/CIN must be used when correcting a
     reporting error. The voucher date cannot be more than
     five years old.
     
          The depositor is responsible for obtaining the
     memorandum and confirmed copy of the adjustment
     documents (SF 215 or SF 5515) from the depositary.
     Memorandum copies may either be retained for agency use
     or destroyed. DO NOT SUBMIT MEMORANDUM COPIES TO
     TREASURY.
