Self-Regulatory Organizations; The 

Depository Trust Company; Notice of 

Filing and Immediate Effectiveness of 

a Proposed Rule Change To Update 

the ClaimConnectTM Service Guide 

December 17, 2024. 

Pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the 

Securities Exchange Act of 1934 

(‘‘Act’’) 1 and Rule 19b–4 thereunder,2

notice is hereby given that on December 

5, 2024, The Depository Trust Company 

(‘‘DTC’’) filed with the Securities and 

Exchange Commission (‘‘Commission’’) 

the proposed rule change as described 

in Items I, II and III below, which Items 

have been prepared by the clearing 

agency. DTC filed the proposed rule 

change pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A) 

of the Act 3 and Rule 19b–4(f)(4) 

thereunder.4 The Commission is 

publishing this notice to solicit 

comments on the proposed rule change 

from interested persons. 

I. Clearing Agency’s Statement of the 

Terms of Substance of the Proposed 

Rule Change 

The proposed rule change 5 consists of 

amendments to the DTC 

ClaimConnectTM Service Guide 

(‘‘ClaimConnect Guide’’) 6 to (i) enable 

ClaimConnect users (‘‘Users’’) to submit 

and affirm multiple claims at once (i.e., 

the ‘‘Claim Upload’’ function), and (ii) 

make clarifying, technical, and 

ministerial changes, as described in 

greater detail below. 

II. Clearing Agency’s Statement of the 

Purpose of, and Statutory Basis for, the 

Proposed Rule Change 

In its filing with the Commission, the 

clearing agency included statements 

concerning the purpose of and basis for 

the proposed rule change and discussed 

any comments it received on the 

proposed rule change. The text of these 

statements may be examined at the 

places specified in Item IV below. The 

clearing agency has prepared 

summaries, set forth in sections A, B, 

and C below, of the most significant 

aspects of such statements. 

(A) Clearing Agency’s Statement of the 

Purpose of, and Statutory Basis for, the 

Proposed Rule Change 

1. Purpose 

The proposed rule change will update 

the ClaimConnect Guide to (i) enable 

Users to submit and affirm multiple 

claims at once (i.e., the ‘‘Claim Upload’’ 

function), and (ii) make clarifying, 

technical, and ministerial changes, as 

more fully described below. 

Background 

ClaimConnect is a service available to 

all Participants. The service enables 

Participants to bilaterally match and 

settle cash claim transactions at DTC. 

With respect to ClaimConnect, a cash 

claim or cash claim transaction is a cash 

entitlement (i.e., a request for cash) from 

one Participant to another Participant. 

Typically, cash claims arise as a result 

of trading exceptions from a Corporate 

Action event, where a cash entitlement 

needs to be delivered from one holder 

to another. 

ClaimConnect is a validation and 

matching engine that continually 

monitors claims throughout their 

lifecycle in order to settle and close 

claims through DTC’s settlement 

process. This continuous processing 

allows for both the manual matching of 

claims (i.e., affirmation) by Users and 

systematic matching of two like claims 

by ClaimConnect based on the 

alignment of certain data elements (i.e., 

auto-matching).7

Proposed Rule Change 

Claim Processing via Claim Upload 

Currently, for a User to submit a claim 

via the ClaimConnect web application, 

the User must manually submit each 

claim individually. This individual, 

manual process can be arduous and 

time consuming for Participants who 

need to submit multiple claims. 

Therefore, pursuant to the proposed rule 

change, a function will be added to 

ClaimConnect (i.e., the ‘‘Claim Upload’’ 

function’’) to enable Users to submit and 

affirm multiple claims, at once, via the 

ClaimConnect web application located 

in the MyDTCC portal, by uploading a 

type of file specified in the 

ClaimConnect web application (e.g., a 

comma separated value file). 

Before a Claim Upload submission is 

processed, the system will perform a 

validation check to ensure all field 

values for each claim included are 

accurate. Claims that fail validation are 

flagged and rejected and will need to be 

corrected and resubmitted manually. 

Users will have the option to either 

reject all claims included in the 

uploaded file, even claims that passed 

validation, and upload a new file, or the 

User can continue with the claims that 

passed validation and then, separately, 

upload a new file containing only the 

claims that needed to be corrected. 

However, since Claim Upload does not 

offer an automated modification 

function, Users are only able to submit 

and affirm claims, and any 

modifications or cancellations of 

previously submitted claims must be 

made manually. 

In further support of the new Claim 

Upload function, the proposed rule 

change will (i) add a ‘‘Claim Upload’’ 

definition to mean ‘‘a claim-submission 

option, via the ClaimConnect web 

application in the MyDTCC portal, for 

Users to submit and affirm multiple 

claims at one time by uploading a type 

of file specified in the ClaimConnect 

web application,’’ (ii) explain that 

claims can be submitted and affirmed 

manually, either individually or in bulk 

via Claim Upload, and (iii) direct Users 

to the DTCC Learning Center page to 

obtain more information about Claim 

Upload. 

Technical and Clarifying Changes 

Additionally, the proposed rule 

change will make clarifying, technical, 

and ministerial changes to the 

ClaimConnect Guide to (i) update the 

copyright date, (ii) remove a broken 

URL address for the DTCC Learning 

Center, and (iii) clarify that certain 

references to the MyDTCC portal are, 

more specifically, references to the 

ClaimConnect web application in the 

portal. 

2. Statutory Basis 

Section 17A(b)(3)(F) of the Act 

requires that the rules of the clearing 

agency be designed, inter alia, to 

promote the prompt and accurate 

clearance and settlement of securities
