Nacha's definition

In addition to an RCK Entry, the item to which the RCK Entry relates has also been presented for payment.

Verbatim from Nacha — ISO 20022 Guide to Mapping U.S. ACH Return Items and Notifications of Change, August 2023, Version 2.01 (Table 1, return reason codes) (return reason code table). Applies to: RCK.

Reinitiation conditions

If this was a returned debit, Nacha's general reinitiation restrictions apply; this code alone does not establish permission to reinitiate. Confirm the current Rules and the return reason with your ODFI before any further entry.

How it appears in an ISO 20022 statement

Nacha's mapping guide marks this code as not currently supported or mapped for camt.053 (footnote 1): it applies to Standard Entry Class codes or flows the guide does not cover, so it has no published ISO 20022 reason-code mapping.

Return time frame

Nacha's public rule pages refer to the standard "two-day" return time frame for returns that are not extended (unauthorized) returns. The current Nacha Operating Rules and your ODFI determine the applicable deadline for this code; a general public two-day reference is not a substitute for that code-specific requirement.

What an operator does next

Both the RCK entry and the underlying item were presented. Refund the duplicate and fix the re-presentment control.

PaymentBrief guidance, not Nacha text. Your ODFI's procedures and the current Nacha Operating Rules govern.

Where this comes up on PaymentBrief

Public-source reference. Quoted definitions and rule statements are attributed to the public documents linked on this page; PaymentBrief's operator guidance is labelled separately. This reference does not reproduce the complete Nacha Operating Rules. The current rules and your ODFI's procedures govern. A gap in a cited public document does not establish that the rules permit an action or that no other rule applies.
