FINCEN is running into discrepancies with TLA and Advances submissions from the field. We ask that you please follow the guide that is available at the site linked below. A very important part of that guide is the funding in DA. Please see note below.

Note: If you are submitting TLA claims or Advances it will need to be funded in Direct Access before FINCEN will be able to process a payment. So if you could please do the funding before they forward it to FINCEN, that will make the turnaround time a little bit faster.

New Business Process for TLA submission to FINCEN:

• The link to access the new Sharepoint platform is https://cg.portal.uscg.mil/units/fincen/SitePages/TLAClaims.aspx. Within the platform, users will have access to view the user guide to assist with processing claims as well as the ability to view the FINCEN Review workbench to see where claims are in the process.
