Before continuing, please note the following:
- Stop payment requests should not be submitted for checks within 30 days from the mail date.
- It can take up to 6 months for the studio or payroll house to reissue a check.
- Depending on the age of the check, the employer may have forwarded the funds to the unclaimed property administrator in the state of employment (typically after 3 years, although it varies state-by-state).
- Before requesting that checks be canceled and reissued, please check the unclaimed property website for the state of employment.
