Payroll or Annuity Payments
Payroll and annuity payments are only held for delinquent child support reported by the Office of the Attorney General (OAG).
- The OAG has the authority to offset state payments for child support. For more information, see Child Support Offsets.
- The Teacher Retirement System, Employees Retirement System and Texas Emergency Services Retirement System can set up mail codes for child support deductions from annuity payments; these mail codes must include the hold bypass indicator.
- See also Direct Deposit Suspended.
Note: Payments to state employees other than payroll will be held for any state debt. This includes:
- Lump sums of vacation and/or sick leave for terminated or deceased state employees.
- Employee travel advance and reimbursement payments.
- Payments to an employee who is also a state vendor.
