Document Tracking System External (DOTSE)

Information on First Check

Information on First Check is option 2 on the DOTSE Main Menu screen. This option is used to add, update, or view information from the original payment when processing a recertified payment. This screen automatically displays for recertified payments (e.g., reply code 55, 58, or 64 is entered on the Inquiry Information screen). The information entered on this screen applies to the original payment. Most of the information is system generated if the payment was processed in the automated system; if processed manually, the system-generated information must be entered. The information entered must be identical to the original payment to successfully process the recertified payment.

To select this option from the DOTSE menu, type 2 at the Selection prompt and press Enter.

The Information on First Check screen is displayed.

Type the employee’s SSN at the Identification Number field after the system-generated PAYE (Payroll Computation System) and press Enter.

If the record is established, the Information on First Check screen is displayed with the message Found.

Instructions for adding new records, updating established records, and viewing established records are provided below. Unnumbered fields do not apply to a recertified payment.
