Bankruptcies (16) and IRS Tax Levies (19) — HOEU1, H0ZBT

Note: A new mail code must be established for an employee on TINS before USPS can accept a new setup and generate payment for the third-party payee. One employee cannot have both a Bankruptcy and Student Loan (deduction 21). Agencies may utilize Report 599, a transmittal letter for bankruptcy and tax levy payments to send to vendors, by setting up an address code and vendor name and address on HOEU1 and requesting Report 599 on T02U1. Agencies choosing not to utilize the transmittal letters should bypass HOEU1 and proceed directly to H0ZBT.
