Trust Cash Administration (‘TCAT’) is a baseline function that actively monitors all incoming and outgoing cash in the Corporation’s Custodial Trust Account and determines whether funds are due to/from the security holders or Freddie Mac.

As part of this scope, TCAT is also generally responsible for ensuring adequate funding of the Trust Account.
