Credit Union Deductions
Deduction Change, Cancellation, Enrollment on Transfer and Refunds

Change Requests and Cancellations

An employee may change or cancel a deduction for a payment to a participating credit union at any time by completing a revised authorization form or by submitting an electronic authorization through CAPPS.

For changes or cancellations on a revised authorization form:

  • A change request must be submitted by the employee to the participating credit union. The credit union must then submit the request to the employing state agency.
  • A cancellation may be submitted to the credit union or the employing state agency.

For changes or cancellations submitted via electronic authorization through CAPPS, the employing state agency must notify the participating credit union in writing when it submits the next monthly detail report to the credit union.

State agencies must complete the employee’s change or cancellation request no later than the first workday of the second month following the month when the agency receives the notification.

Interagency Transfers

When an employee transfers between state agencies, the employee must complete a new authorization form or electronic authorization through CAPPS at the new agency to participate in the credit union deduction. The authorization does not transfer from the prior agency.

Refunds

Agencies may receive refunds from the credit union for an employee’s account only if an amount more than the elected amount was deducted. Agencies may deduct the amount of the refund from the subsequent payment to the credit union or request in writing to receive a check for the amount of the refund.
