Reporting Withholding Due to IRS Federal Payment Levy Program (FPLP) on the Remittance Advice
The purpose of this CR is to instruct the HIGLAS contractors and Shared System Maintainers to make necessary programming changes to notify the payee that a debt subject to FPLP is owed; an amount was withheld from their payment; and to instruct the payee to contact the IRS/Treasury regarding questions associated with the reduction. Due to current privacy rules and regulations, only the IRS/Treasury may discuss the tax debt issue with the payee.
