Performance Narrative [Text Block] rr_PerformanceNarrativeTextBlock The total returns shown below are for an existing class of shares, Institutional Shares (IS), offered by the Fund. The IS class is not offered in this Prospectus for the Fund’s Cash Reserve Shares (CRS).

Risk Return Abstract rr_RiskReturnAbstract  
Risk [Text Block] rr_RiskTextBlock An investment in the Fund is not a bank account and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency.
Cash Reserve Shares | Federated Hermes U S Treasury Cash Reserves | Interest Rate Risk [Member]  
Risk Return Abstract rr_RiskReturnAbstract  
Risk [Text Block] rr_RiskTextBlock ■ Interest Rate Risk. Prices of fixed-income securities generally fall when interest rates rise. Recent and potential future changes in monetary policy made by central banks and/or their governments are likely to affect the level of interest rates. Very low or negative interest rates magnify interest rate risk. During periods when interest rates are low or there are negative interest rates, the Fund’s yield (and total return) also is likely to be lower or the Fund may be unable to maintain a positive return, or yield, or a stable NAV.
Cash Reserve Shares | Federated Hermes U S Treasury Cash Reserves | Risk Related to the Economy [Member]  
Risk Return Abstract rr_RiskReturnAbstract  
Risk [Text Block] rr_RiskTextBlock ■ Risk Related to the Economy. The value of the Fund’s portfolio may decline in tandem with a drop in the overall value of the markets in which the Fund invests and/or other markets. Economic, political and financial conditions, industry or economic trends and developments or public health risks, such as epidemics or pandemics, may, from time to time, and for varying periods of time, cause the Fund to experience volatility, illiquidity, shareholder redemptions, and/or other potentially adverse effects.
Cash Reserve Shares | Federated Hermes U S Treasury Cash Reserves | Risk Associated with Investing Share Purchase Proceeds [Member]  
Risk Return Abstract rr_RiskReturnAbstract  
Risk [Text Block] rr_RiskTextBlock ■ Risk Associated with Investing Share Purchase Proceeds. On days during which there are net purchases of Fund Shares, the Fund must invest the proceeds at prevailing market yields or hold cash. If the Fund holds cash, or if the yield of the securities purchased is less than that of the securities already in the portfolio, the Fund’s yield will likely decrease. Conversely, net purchases on days on which short-term yields rise will likely cause the Fund’s yield to increase. In the event of significant changes in short-term yields or significant net purchases, the Fund retains the discretion to close to new investments. However, the Fund is not required to close, and no assurance can be given that this will be done in any given circumstance.
Cash Reserve Shares | Federated Hermes U S Treasury Cash Reserves | Risk Associated with Use of Amortized Cost [Member]  
Risk Return Abstract rr_RiskReturnAbstract  
Risk [Text Block] rr_RiskTextBlock ■ Risk Associated with use of Amortized Cost. In the unlikely event that the Fund’s Board of Trustees (“Board”) were to determine, pursuant to Rule 2a-7, that the extent of the deviation between the Fund’s amortized cost per Share and its market-based NAV per Share may result in material dilution or other unfair results to shareholders, the Board will cause the Fund to take such action as it deems appropriate to eliminate or reduce to the extent practicable such dilution or unfair results.
Cash Reserve Shares | Federated Hermes U S Treasury Cash Reserves | Additional Factors Affecting Yield [Member]  
Risk Return Abstract rr_RiskReturnAbstract  
Risk [Text Block] rr_RiskTextBlock ■ Additional Factors Affecting Yield. There is no guarantee that the Fund will provide a certain level of income or that any such income will exceed the rate of inflation. Further, the Fund’s yield will vary. Periods of very low or negative interest rates impact, in a negative way, the Fund’s ability to maintain a positive return, or yield, or pay dividends to Fund shareholders.

Risk Return Abstract rr_RiskReturnAbstract
