Time Limit to Recall ACH

Answered by: 

Question: 
Our credit union received a request for a return for an ACH transaction that was made in error. The request was sent to via fax on 9/1/2022. The original transaction was dated 7/22/2022 and is now outside of the return time frame. Is the CU required to honor this return and, if so, is it acceptable to honor a fax'ed request? We are under the impression that it would need to go through the Federal Reserve. Any advice that you can offer would be greatly appreciated.
Answer: 

There is nothing that requires a ACH recipient to honor a request for return after the debit or credit has posted to an account.
