Lesson 2: Direct Deposit Forms

Advance Payment Notification

Advance Payment Notification (APN) is a Comptroller's office-provided service that sends an email notification to the payee at the time the Comptroller's office processes a payment.

Enrollment method

Any payee receiving direct deposits other than payroll can subscribe to this service. To opt-in for APN, payees must first set up an account and submit either an uncashed warrant or direct deposit bank account number for authentication in the Search State Payments Issued  application. Payees manage their own APN options:

• Warrants as well as direct deposit payments are available for APN.
• Users can choose which mail codes they want for APN.
• Users can choose to suspend APN when they are out of the office.

Benefit of APN

Advance Payment Notification provides the payee with an acknowledgment that a payment has been issued.

For security reasons, the notification email does not provide any payment detail or descriptive information. Payees interested in viewing payment details should be referred to the Comptroller's Search State Payments Issued  application.
