Stop payments may be requested if a check has been misplaced, damaged, or has been lost in the mail. For checks that have been lost in the mail, please allow five business days from the issue date of the check before requesting a stop payment in order to give time to the U.S. Postal Service to deliver your check.

Upon receipt of your request, the Payroll Department will validate whether or not the check has been cashed. If the check has not been cashed, the Payroll Department will initiate the stop payment request after five business days from the issue date of the check. The Payroll Department will validate with our financial institution if the stop payment has been completed successfully, five business days from when the stop payment request was submitted to the bank.

Stop payment requests which have been completed successfully will be reissued on the next available off-cycle check run.

The stop payment request form can be submitted via MyFIU.
