Important Reminders

• Handwritten submissions: Forms must be electronically filled out before they are submitted to the
AFD ACH Mailbox at [email protected]. Handwritten submissions, including pen-and-
ink changes, will be rejected.

• Box 16 - EIN/SSN/TIN: The Tax Identification Number (TIN) entered on the Form should be that of
the person or entity who is legally entitled to the funds. Under no circumstances, should a
representative (attorney, next of kin, etc.) of the defendant, claimant, or petitioner enter their personal
or business TIN on the Form. You may be asked to provide supporting documents to validate the
TIN. Individuals without a TIN should use the Asset Forfeiture – Non-Citizen (Domestic) Payment
Form.
• Box 24 - NCIC/TPID Code: For DOJ Equitable Sharing purposes, this number is your Agency’s
NCIC/ORI code (e.g., MD1234567). For all other purposes, the TPID code is your 6-10 digit CATS
Party ID Number (e.g., 1788649). This number is typically conveyed in the subject of the
correspondence instructing you to complete the Vendor Request Form. Please contact the Agency
who sent you the correspondence should you have any questions about the CATS Party ID Number.
Please note, a CATS Asset ID Number (e.g., 19-DEA-123456) is not a valid entry for Box 24.

• Financial Institution Information: Ensure Box 12: Payment Type is completed before attempting
to complete Boxes 26 – 33. The ABA Number and Account Number must be able to accept
Automated Clearing House (ACH) network payments. ABA Numbers and Account Numbers
designated solely for Wires or Fedwires network payments will result in a payment cancellation.

• Submission Timeframes: Generally, Forms are reviewed and processed within five (5) business
days of the submission date. Forms submitted between September 25th and October 10th may take
additional time due to annual system maintenance. The submitter and, if different, vendor contact
indicated in Box 20 of the Form will receive notice via e-mail from AFD Forms indicating the status
of the Form. The e-mail notice for successful Forms will provide additional details about the
forthcoming payment including points of contact.

• Payment Cancellation/Rejection Notices: If you have received an e-mail from AFD Forms
indicating that your payment was either cancelled or rejected then there was a problem with your
original Form submission. The reason for the cancellation/rejection and a brief description will be
listed in the e-mail. Regardless of the reason, an updated Vendor Request Form must be submitted to
reprocess your payment. Generally, the account number previously provided is either inaccurate or
no longer valid in our system due to inactivity.
