California Releases Updated DE 532, Direction for ACH Payments

California’s Employment Development Department has revised its publication DE 532. This document provides instructions on how to set up an ACH payment to the Department. The publication had previously been titled “Information for your Bank,” and is now titled “Automated Clearing House (ACH) Credit Information Guide.” The revised edition provides more detailed information on arranging for ACH payments from a bank to the Department, particularly what information a payor should provide to its bank. The elements of the publication relating to the transaction’s CCD+/TXP transmission and the Department’s routing and account numbers have not changed.
