The Controller’s Office recently updated the Stop Payment Request Form to assist departmental representatives. The form outlines the query that should be used to obtain the payment information required on the form (FSU_DPT_AP_ER_CHECKS) and provides updated information concerning PaymentWorks and the potential impact this has on stop-payment requests. The form can be found under the Cash Management & Banking Forms section of the Controller’s Office website.
This form is a means by which departments may request that a "stop payment" be placed on a university check. By placing a stop payment on a check, a department is requesting that the Controller's Office prevent the check from being deposited or cashed, which effectively "cancels" the check. Once a stop payment has been placed on a check, departments must notify the vendor that the check is no longer valid and should not be presented for payment to prevent unnecessary fees from the financial institution.
Please contact Cash Management & Banking with any questions or for assistance with completing this form.
