2.17     Stops

[ 2.17.1 - Stops - Viewing ][ 2.17.2 - Stops - Adding & Releasing ]

STOPS are used to prevent certain actions from occurring on an employer's account. These actions include delinquent tax collection, rate changes and the production of statements.

Accounts examiners will need to place a 02 Status 30 day stop when working accounts with C-6A to change to reimbursing. The stop should be added as soon as we become aware of the C-6A.

Otherwise: Status accounts examiners rarely encounter a situation where a STOP is necessary. If you should encounter a situation where a STOP is deemed appropriate, consult your supervisor for review.

2.17.1     Stops - Viewing

The Stop Information Screen (access command TSI) displays all STOP information for a particular account. This screen will list all STOPS placed on a particular account and also list a STOP history for that account. The STOP history will remain on the STOP INFORMATION SCREEN for 21 quarters.

Information on TSI will include:

  1. Stop Date - The date the STOP was placed, in chronological order.

  2. Release Date - The date the STOP will be released.

  3. Stop Code/Reason - Number code and a short description of STOP reason.

  4. Days - Number of days the STOP has been or was in effect.

  5. Accounts Examiner - The last name of the examiner who placed the STOP.
