System Overview

The Special Payroll Processing System (SPPS) is an online database payment system of the U. S. Department of Agriculture (USDA). SPPS Special Payroll Processing System is currently used to (1) add, change, query, and update a quick service request; (2) record indebtedness for a separated employee and process the final payment due to the employee; and (3) process and disburse payments to the estate of a deceased employee.

SPPS Special Payroll Processing System allows Agencies to submit electronic transactions instead of mailing forms to the National Finance Center (NFC) for manual processing. Electronic transactions will eliminate delays usually caused by form preparation and mailing of data. Users will have a greater control of document submission. Also, with each phase implemented, an inquiry option will reduce the number of phone inquiries and allow users direct access to information about specific transactions.

SPPS Special Payroll Processing System transactions are processed daily at approximately 11 a.m. Central Time (CT). Records entered after 11 a.m. CT central standard time will be updated and processed the following day.
