Purpose
To notify agencies of a new form AC3440 Request for Payroll Check Stop Payment to be used to stop and reissue New York State payroll checks
Background
Under the current business process, state agencies submit Form TD346 to the Division of the Treasury to request a payroll check stop payment and check reissuance. The reissued payroll check is processed through the Statewide Financial System (SFS) and sent to the state agency.
Under the new business process, state agencies must email new form AC3340 Request for Payroll Check Stop Payment to the Uncashed & Reissued NYS Payroll Checks mailbox. OSC’s Bureau of State Payroll Services will reissue a payroll check through SFS to the employee’s address or deceased employee’s next-of-kin.
The Payroll Check Notification Report (See Bulletin 1683) will be posted to the PayServ Bulletin Board weekly to show the status of these transactions. This report will include information going back three months.
Effective Date(s)
Immediately
OSC Actions
