Lost, Damaged, or Expired Checks

If a payroll check is lost, damaged, or expired (not deposited within 90 days), employees must notify SDSURF Payroll. After Payroll has verified that the check has not been replaced or presented for payment, a stop payment will be submitted to the bank and a replacement check will be issued within 5 to 7 business days after stop payment is completed. SDSURF Payroll can be contacted at (619) 594-6971 or [email protected]. 

Unclaimed Paychecks

SDSU Research Foundation will make several attempts to contact the employee, but is required by law to send unclaimed paycheck records and amounts that are one year or older to the appropriate state government. This time period may vary depending on the state the employee resides in. It is the employee’s responsibility to keep their address up to date and contact SDSURF Payroll regarding any unclaimed paychecks.

Employees who have outstanding unclaimed paychecks may contact the “Unclaimed Property” website applicable to your state.
