E. Lifting a Stop Payment Order

Responsible Party Action

LDSS • Contact the Fiscal Processing Unit and request that the stop payment be lifted.

• If the stop payment can be lifted and another state check has not been issued, the LDSS may inform the payee she may cash the original check.

• Local checks are to be issued only in an emergency and with the prior approval of the TANF Program Manager in order to be reimbursed.

F. Check Cashed After Stop Payment Placed Against Check

Responsible Party Action

FPU • The bank voids the stop payment request if the check has been cashed on the same day. If the check is cashed the next day and the stop payment is in place, the casher must request replacement from the recipient who received the cash.

G. Check Cashed Before Stop Payment Request

Responsible Party Action

FPU • The bank is checked for the status of the check. Fraud action will be initiated by FPU.

LDSS • The locality will issue the replacement check following procedures in C.4.c. above.
