Fed Return Reason Codes for ACH/Paper Items - 08/06/15 10:46 PM

Trying to help out a banker friend -

I need a current list of return reason codes such as:

A – NSF

06 – Ineligible/Retired RT

I have reviewed Fedline and can’t seem to find anything and I have called Check 21 Support and no help.

Can you please give me some direction where I can find the most current list?

If they have a copy of the NACHA rules, the complete list can be found in it.
