Treasury ACH Reclamation

Automated clearing house (ACH) Reclamation is a recovery procedure used by the Department of the Treasury, Financial Management Service (FMS), to obtain a refund (reclamation) from a presenting financial institution for federal government payments.

Reclamation notices (ACH Reclamation - FMS Form 133) are generated by the FMS Regional Financial Service. See Green Book: Guide to Federal ACH Payments and Collections (Off-site Link) for instructions.

The Department of the Treasury, FMS and the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia have implemented an e-mail delivery option for ACH reclamations. To sign up for the service to receive Treasury ACH Reclamations via an e-mail, please access the FedMail Service Request Form (PDF). Scroll down the form to the Treasury ACH Reclamation section then complete and return the form as indicated on the bottom of page 1.
