T+1

Overview

On February 15, 2023, the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) adopted final requirements for a May 28, 2024, implementation date for the move to T+1 Settlement for transactions in US cash equities, corporate debt, and unit investment trust (UIT) transactions.

To help DTCC participants and their affiliates prepare for the transition to a T+1 Settlement cycle, there are a number of resources available. Review the below summary to help you navigate the Learning Center and locate the T+1 information that you need.

Testing

To facilitate testing by DTCC participants, DTCC has converted our PSE -U environment in the MyDTCC portal to a T+1 settlement cycle. To leverage this environment for your T+1 testing, follow the below steps:

1. Review the DTCC T+1 Test Approach: Detailed Testing Framework to identify what and how to test.
2. Check your connectivity.

There are two types of testing:

• Free-format: DTCC will perform a one-time copy over of positions from our production environment to the PSE -U environment.
• Cycle: DTCC will provide a set pool of CUSIPs and positions that is refreshed for each test cycle. Access the latest list of test CUSIPs at Documentation.

The test cycles are outlined below. For more detailed information on the test cycles, review the DTCC T+1 Test Approach: Detailed Testing Framework.
