Allowable Payments for Intercept by Debt Type

Allowable Payments for Intercept by Debt Type (APIDT) defines restrictions for the offset of certain debt types (for example Income Tax Garnishments) to specific types of payments (for example, Lottery Prizes / Tax payments). Fiscal Year and Debt Type are required fields on APIDT and at least one of the payment related fields is required (Disbursement Category, Bank, Transaction Code, Transaction Department, and Transaction Unit).

You can use this table to define debt types for a given fiscal year that can be used to intercept specific payment types. If the information for a payment request line and corresponding debt on the Intercept Request (INTR) record (same TIN and TIN Type combination) matches the corresponding fields on the APIDT table, then the debt record can be used to intercept the payment request line. A blank field value on an APIDT record indicates any value will match. If a debt type does not exist on the APIDT table for a fiscal year, then there are no restrictions on the debt type for the fiscal year and that debt type can be used to intercept any payment.

The records on this table are only read if the Evaluate Intercept by Debt Type (EVAL_INCT_DBTYP) parameter on the Application Parameters (APPCTRL) table is Yes. If set to Yes, then the AD XML Creation process within the AD Chain reads the APIDT page and restricts the intercept of specific payments by specific debt types. If the APIDT table is blank or if a Debt Type on Intercept Request (INTR) is not defined on APIDT, then that Debt Type is not restricted and all debts that fall under that Debt Type may be offset against payments. The Fiscal Year and Debt Type drives the matching process. If the Debt Type is found on APIDT for the fiscal year and the record includes a specific Entity value, then only INTR records with that Entity/Debt Type combination are allowed to be used as offset to the specific payment request line satisfying the remaining APIDT record conditions. INTR records with the Debt Type and a different Entity are not eligible for offset based on the APIDT record. If other entities for a given Debt Type are allowable, each of the allowable entities must also have a record on APIDT. If offset of the Debt Type is allowable for all entities and the remaining disbursement related criteria are the same on APIDT, then the Entity field on the APIDT record should be left blank. If the Debt Type is allowable for offset across all entities and disbursement criteria, meaning there are not restrictions, no record should be added to APIDT for Debt Type.

Below are some sample entries on APIDT table:

1. Record one (1) is not as restrictive. It is defined for Entity/Debt Type ENT/ENT and Disbursement Category LTOF but Bank, Transaction Code, Dept, and Unit are blank so they would not be evaluated (that is, payments for any Transaction Codes, Dept, and Units can be offset by debt records for ENT/ENT and where the payment record’s Disbursement Category is LTOF). Only ENT/ENT with Disbursement Category LTOF would be eligible for intercept. If another Disbursement Category was used on the payment records, those payments would not be eligible for intercepts with the ENT/ENT combination. To be eligible for intercept, another entry would need to be defined on APIDT with that Disbursement Category in combination with ENT/ENT.

2. Record two (2) is defined for Debt Type MRE, Transaction Code GAX, and Disbursement Category PRZ. Only GAX transactions with a Disbursement Category of PRZ will be eligible for intercept for those debts with Debt Type of MRE. Payment records for any other Transaction Codes or Disbursement Category would not be eligible for intercept by debts record with the MRE Debt Type as this is the only record on APIDT for that Debt Type.

3. Record three (3) is defined for the Entity/Debt Type DOF/PRTX, Transaction Code GAX, and Disbursement Category COLL. Only GAX transactions with a Disbursement Category of COLL will be eligible for intercept for those debts with the Entity/Debt Type of DOF/PRTX.

4. Records four (4) and five (5) are defined for Entity DOR but different Debt Types. These entries are more restrictive so all criteria must be met in order for the payment record to be eligible for intercepts.

5. Assume an Entity/Debt Type of DOJ/COLL is defined on one or more INTR records but no records are defined on APIDT with this Entity/Debt Type, then those debts may be offset against all payments. Because this Entity/Debt Type combination is not entered on APIDT, there are no restrictions defined for it.

6. Record one (1) is not as restrictive. It is defined for Entity/Debt Type ENT/ENT and Disbursement Category LTOF but Transaction Code, Dept, and Unit are blank so they would not be evaluated (that is, payments for any Transaction Codes, Dept, and Units can be offset by debt records for ENT/ENT and where the payment record’s Disbursement Category is LTOF). Only ENT/ENT with Disbursement Category LTOF would be eligible for intercept. If another Disbursement Category was used on the payment records, those payments would not be eligible for intercepts with the ENT/ENT combination. To be eligible for intercept, another entry would need to be defined on APIDT with that Disbursement Category in combination with ENT/ENT.

7. Record two (2) is defined for Debt Type MRE, Bank, Transaction Code GAX, and Disbursement Category PRZ. Only GAX transactions with a Bank and Disbursement Category of PRZ will be eligible for intercept for those debts with Debt Type of MRE. Payment records for any other Transaction Codes or Disbursement Category would not be eligible for intercept by debt records with the MRE Debt Type as this is the only record on APIDT for that Debt Type.

8. Record three (3) is defined for the Entity/Debt Type DOF/PRTX, Bank BNK1, Transaction Code GAX, and Disbursement Category COLL. Only GAX transactions with a Disbursement Category of COLL will be eligible for intercept for those debts with the Entity/Debt Type/Bank of DOF/PRTX/BNK1.

9. Records four (4) and five (5) are defined for Entity DOR but different Debt Types along with the Bank BNK1. These entries are more restrictive so all criteria must be met in order for the payment record to be eligible for intercepts.

10. Assume an Entity/Debt Type/Bank of DOJ/COLL/BNK1 is defined on one or more INTR records but no records are defined on APIDT with this Entity/Debt Type/Bank, then those debts may be offset against all payments. Because this Entity/Debt Type/Bank combination is not entered on APIDT, there are no restrictions defined for it.
