Step 4—Generate the direct deposit file and report

Use the Direct Deposit File and Report process to generate direct deposit files and a detail report. Pensioners with a direct deposit payment status are included in the pre-check report, but won't have a check printed. After printing the checks, run the direct deposit file and report.

Go to: Home > Administration Processes > Pensioner > Direct Deposit File Maintenance

The Direct Deposit Tape screen displays the Direct Deposit runs created by the check print process.
