Offset Process
Multiple Holds
The Comptroller’s office is authorized to determine the order in which offsets are applied when the payee is indebted to multiple hold source agencies. When a debtor is indebted to multiple hold source agencies, warrants will be offset in the following order:
- The Office of the Attorney General (child support delinquencies)
- The Comptroller of Public Accounts (tax delinquencies)
- Other liabilities in date order, as determined by the oldest date in the
HOLD DATE
field on the PYHOLD screen in TINS. (If multiple holds share the sameHOLD DATE
, offsets will be made according to the oldest date in theEFF DATE
field.)
