  1. Payroll checks are void 180 days after the original check date. Payroll Services will attempt to contact the payee by phone and US mail.

  2. If the payroll check is not claimed within 180 days of the check date, Payroll Services will forward the check to the Office of Accounting and Business Services for deposit into the Unclaimed Property account. If the payee claims the check within three years of the check date, UTA will reissue the voided check to the payee.

  3. On June 30, of each year, payments that have been deposited to the Unclaimed Property account, which have check dates of three years or greater, are identified and released to the State of Texas Comptroller on November 1. The payee may then claim the property at the State Comptroller's Office.
