Forward copies of DP listing to Employer Accounting and Review for distribution to account examiners.

Adjust reports using the AAW screen to show correct total wage amount, if necessary.

Use caution with all Bankrupt Accounts. Contact Collections, Bankruptcy Unit before continuing to correct account.

• Journal Entries involving Still Partial C-3s

Always delete partial C-3 on Day One.

On Day TWO, journalize (JE) the report. (This removes the partial C-3 and allows the JE’d report to appear as an original report instead of as a supplemental report.

Note: Never adjust amounts with the ADJUST QUARTERLY CHARGES screen (AQC) when report is still in Partial Status. This causes the original to edit out as a supplemental report.

• Print copy of Form C-3 from imaging system to attach to completed pink flags and forward to the unit administrative technician for distribution by account number series.
