State Agencies Bulletin No. 129

Subject
Year End Processing of Returned Checks
Date Issued
November 19, 1999

Purpose

To notify agencies of Report of Check Returned for Refund or Exchange AC-230 procedures and deadlines.

Specifics

Due to an anticipated large volume of AC-230 requests and year end processing constraints, AC-230's affecting checks issued prior to December must be received by OSC no later than December 1, 1999. AC-230's affecting checks issued in December 1999 must be received by December 27, 1999 for Admin agencies and January 3, 2000 for Institution agencies. AC-230's received after these deadlines may not be reflected in 1999 W-2's. Accordingly, agencies will be responsible for issuing corrected W-2's for each affected employee.

Reminder for Returned Checks

Do not return any payroll check to OSC for a partial refund if either of the following situations exist:

  1. The employee is still actively employed by your agency or if you know he/she is transferring to another state agency.
  2. The employee is due any regular and/or lump sum payment which is equal to or exceeds the amount to be refunded.

To Expedite Processing  

  • Fill in Date blocks 44 & 45 
  • Agencies should use additional salary factors blocks 60-69.
  • Please use remarks - was paid/should be paid, hourly rates, adj., etc.
  • Sign the AC-230. Authorized signature also needs to be on Payroll Transaction Authorization Form AC-2822.
