Texas Prepaid Higher Education Tuition Program
Refunding Excessive Payments of Amounts Deducted

If a state agency deducts more than the amount authorized by the employee, the overage may be recovered by offsetting the overage amount from a subsequent payment of amounts deducted for the organization. The agency may obtain a refund of the overage from the organization only if no subsequent payments to the organization are anticipated.

Example:

An employee authorized a $200 deduction. In January, an agency deducts $210 ($10 overage). In February, the agency deducts $190. The combined deductions for January and February will equal $400.
