FAQ: How do I set up the system to pay North Dakota Teachers Retirement electronically by direct deposit?

As you are aware, the North Dakota Teachers Retirement is requesting that employers submit their contribution payments via electronic direct deposit.  Complete the steps below to set up the retirement payee for direct deposit payment.

  • From the Payroll screen, select the Maintenance menu and then Payees.
  • At the Payees screen, enter the ID of the payee for North Dakota Teachers Retirement in the Payee ID field, or click the down-arrow button or the Find button to select the correct one.
  • Click the Miscellaneous tab.
  • Select the Direct Deposit field (a checkmark will appear in the box if the field is selected).
  • Enter 4200069 in the Account Number field.
  • Enter 22 in the Direct Deposit Transaction Code field, or click the down-arrow button to select it.
  • For the Direct Deposit Bank ID field, if the Bank of North Dakota (with the ABA Routing Number of 091300285) is already defined as a direct deposit bank in your system, enter the ID for the bank or click the down-arrow button to select it.  If the Bank of North Dakota (with the ABA Routing Number of 091300285) is not yet defined in your system, click the down-arrow button for the Direct Deposit Bank ID field and select Add New; then add the bank and save.
  • Enter CCD in the Standard Entry Class Code field.
  • Enter * followed by the name of your district and \ in the Addenda field; for example, enter *Your District Name\.
  • Click the Save button.

During the check cycle, a direct deposit stub will print for North Dakota Teachers Retirement, and the deposit amount will be included in the direct deposit file that is submitted to your bank.

Note:  If your district does not currently utilize direct deposit within the School Accounting System, you will also need to complete the additional steps outlined on the Payroll Direct Deposit Setup Checklist topic in the Help File.
