RELEASE OF STOP PAYMENTS - 8046

The State Treasurer’s Office (STO) will recognize a stop payment until the agency/department officially releases it or the check becomes five years old.

To release a stop payment, the agency/department must complete a Stop Payment Request form, STD 432, in triplicate and check the release box. The agency/department will send the STO an original and one copy of the STD 432, cut to the appropriate size of 3.5 inches by 7.5 inches. The agency/department will keep the third copy as documentation of the request. The STO will return a copy to the agency/department showing the effective date of the stop payment release.
