Reissued checks take approximately two weeks. Once the stop payment of the original check is requested, the original check is no longer negotiable and cannot be cashed or deposited. Your financial institution will charge fees to your account if you attempt to deposit the non-negotiable check.
Paycheck not received
When should the Paycheck Stop Payment Request be
completed?
Lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated checks
Paycheck not received:
First, check with your personnel specialist in your department
- to ensure that paycheck was created
- to ensure that your address is correct
- to see if paycheck has been returned to your department
When Should the Paycheck Stop Payment
Request
DA-6P be
completed?
- If your address has changed, is there a forwarding order at the Post Office?
If so, then forwarded mail takes longer to reach the destination. Your best choice is to wait for forwarded mail, since a reissued check will likely take much longer to be received.
- If no forwarding order was provided to the Post Office, the
check should be returned to the Postal System by the current resident. The
Post Office will return the check to the Division of Human Resources
Payroll & Employee Data section and we will send the check to your
department
Personnel Specialist. If no check is returned to HR within 2 weeks (10 days
minimum) , the Paycheck Stop Payment
Request DA-6P may be completed.
- If the forwarding order at the Post Office expired (one year
after submission), then the Post Office will send the check to the
Division of Human Resources Payroll & Employee Data section and we
will send the check
to your department Personnel Specialist. If no check is returned to
HR within two weeks (10 days minimum), the Paycheck Stop
Payment Request DA-6P may
be completed.
For lost (after receipt in the mail), stolen,
destroyed or mutilated checks, complete the Paycheck Stop
Payment Request DA-6
immediately and send to the Division of Human Resources Payroll &
Employee Data section
at 103 Edwards Hall or submit to your department Personnel Specialist.
