Line C 1. Automated Payments
Consists of automated forced payments, one-time payments, and system calculated payments.
System calculated payments represent amounts due recipients before deductions for
advanced payments or before Federal and State amounts withheld for prior overpayments.
Line C 2. One-Time Payments
The total amount of manual one-time payments made in the reporting period.
Line C 3. Emergency Payments
The total Federal amount of emergency advanced payments and immediate payments made
to recipients for the reporting period less payments collected from recipients for
the period.
Line C 4. Posteligibility Charges
The net undercharges paid and debited in the reporting period. Posteligibility adjustments
represent corrections to previous payment distributions because of processing a posteligibility
action. A posteligibility action can result in a paper transfer which is a redistribution
of funds between a Federal and a State account or between State accounts. Since charges
and credits between accounts in such cases are always equal, the net result is always
“zero.” Other posteligibility adjustment actions can result in an underpayment being due
to the recipient. These payment distributions are reported in line C.1 above.
Line C 5. Double Check Negotiations
The total amount of current and prior fiscal year double check negotiations resulting
during the reporting period.
When the Treasury Department is notified by the field that a recipient did not receive
a regular automated payment, the Treasury Department issues a substitute check. A
double check negotiation occurs when both checks are cashed.
Line C 6. Unnegotiated Check Charges
The value of unnegotiated checks outstanding for 180 days or more which have now been
cashed or returned to Treasury.
Line C 7. Other Charges
This item is reserved for special or infrequent charges. Entries on this line are
explained in the “Remarks” section.
Line C 8. Overpayments Withheld
The total amounts of overpayments collected by withholding from the recipients' payments
during the reporting period.
Line C 9. Cancelled Checks

period.
Line C 10. Cash Refunds
The value of payments refunded during the reporting period.
Line C 11. Posteligibility Credits

Line C 13. Windfall Offsets

a person would not have received had title II benefits been paid on time.
Line C 14. Advance Withheld Credits

their fees via direct payment from SSA).
