Debtor Hold Extract File
Hold Source Agency Role

If your agency is the hold source agency, use this file to not only check for vendor hold status but to periodically reconcile the hold records in your internal system against the hold records reported to TINS. Use the following fields on the file to extract your agency’s hold records:

• The three-digit HOLD SOURCE field identifies your agency.
• The three-digit HOLD REASON field identifies your agency’s assigned hold reason codes for each type of debt reported to TINS.

Each hold source agency must ensure the contact information for its assigned hold reason codes is up to date. Access the TINS online screen Agency Hold Reason Inquiry (RSNINQ) to verify your agency’s contact information. If an update is needed, submit a separate Application to Report Indebtedness form (74-188) for each assigned hold reason code that needs updates. Your agency’s contact information displayed on RSNINQ is printed on a payee’s Notice of State Payment(s) Held to contact the hold source agency for information and payment options.
