Federal Offset Activity

The Federal Offset Activity (FOTA) page stores and displays the offset information and payment details for debts that have been submitted to the Bureau of Fiscal Service (BFS). The table is populated mainly based on the TOP Weekly Collection file and the Unprocessable File in conjunction with the Intercept Request (INTR) table. The records on the FOTA page are mainly updated by the execution of the Federal Collection File batch job, Generate Federal Offset Payment to Entities batch job, and the submission of associated ITO/GAOP transactions. The Federal Collection File batch job updates the records on Federal Offset Temporary table, which later updates the FOTA table. After the offset fund transfer is complete, the Offset Activity records will be populated in the Intercept Activity (INTA) table and removed from the FOTA table.  

The records on the grid section of this page are displayed by default in ascending order by TOP Trace Number with the most recent numbers displayed last in the list.
