The weekly deadline for modifying a debit memo is defined in which time zone?

• A. Eastern Time (ET)
• B. Pacific Time (PT)
• C. Central Time (CT)
• D. Mountain Time (MT)

Answer: (A)

Deadlines for modifying a debit memo are set using a single reference time zone to keep the weekly cutoff consistent for everyone. That reference is Eastern Time. Using ET standardizes the processing window across carriers and ARC’s settlement cycle, so all modifications must arrive by the ET cutoff to be included in that week's run. If you’re in a different time zone, you need to convert to ET to determine whether you’re still within the deadline. This avoids confusion and ensures the modifications are evaluated in the correct weekly settlement period.
