    Disaster Preparedness: Understanding Excused Delay

    Winter Storm Warning, Hurricane Advisory, Tornado Watch — we’ve seen it all! And while the ACH Rules include a provision for Excused Delay, it’s no substitute for a robust, well-tested business continuity and disaster recovery plan. This session teaches you how Excused Delay is truly meant to be used, how to handle the return process, who to contact, and what absolutely must be included in your disaster recovery plan.

    Learning Objectives:

    • Explain the purpose of Excused Delay and how it is intended to be used.
    • Identify appropriate steps for handling the return process and determine the correct points of contact in the event of an interruption.
    • Evaluate essential components that should be included in the disaster recovery strategy beyond reliance on Excused Delay.

    Duration: 90-minutes

    Presented live and recorded on 05/14/26.
