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 DATEfield on the PYHOLD screen in TINS. (If multiple holds share the sameHOLD DATE, offsets will be made according to the oldest date in theEFF DATEfield.)
