H0AUT – Information Transfer from a Non-USPS Agency

Screen: H0AUT
Prerequisites: HMPNH
The losing agency should have terminated the employee and processed all pay that is due.
Key Fields: AGENCY, EMPLOYEE SSN

Note: You must contact the losing agency and ask if it has processed all payments due for the transferring employee. If so, the agency needs to give you the year-to-date tax and taxable figures so you can enter them on this screen. If this information is not entered prior to payment by your agency, the BRP amount and OASDI taxes may not be correct due to prior agency payments.

Note: If this employee is not a direct transfer but had previous state employment during the current calendar year, you must still get the appropriate year-to-date information from the losing agency(s) to enter on this screen.

Press Enter to process the transaction.

Note: Once the system processes the transaction, the amounts you entered display in the second line of each field. You may adjust these amounts by entering R in the SUBCOMMAND field and + or -, followed by the adjustment amount, on the first line of each field. For example, if the OASDI taxable amount is $100 less than it should be, enter R in the SUBCOMMAND field and +100.00 in the OASDI TXBL field.
