SF 1184 Unavailable Check Cancellation

Unavailable Check Cancellation is option 4 on the DOTSE Main Menu screen. This option is used for paper checks to add/generate, update, and view the Form SF 1184, Unavailable Check Cancellation. This screen generates an SF 1184 to Treasury to alert them to put a stop payment on the original check (paper checks only).

Note: An inquiry record and a first check record must be established before this option can be used.

This information is transmitted to the Treasury for them to place a stop payment on the original check. The Agency completes only two fields on this screen: New Address and Stop Reason Codes. The remaining fields are either system generated or completed by NFC.

This screen automatically displays for paper checks with the message Found after the Information on First Check screen is completed.

To select this option from the DOTSE menu, type 4 at the Selection prompt and press Enter. The SF 1184 Unavailable Check Cancellation screen is displayed.

Type the SSN at the Identification Number field after the system-generated PAYE and press Enter. If the record was not established, the message Not Found displays. Press PF1 to return to the menu and select option 1 to begin the recertification process.

Instructions for adding new records, updating established records, and viewing established records are provided below.
