Now that a budget has been passed, Pennsylvania Treasurer Rob McCord is committed to delivering needed payments to the Commonwealth’s school districts and social agencies as rapidly as possible.
Treasury normally requires approximately ten business days to process a payment, due in part to its statutory requirement to review payments to determine that they are lawful and correct – an important function that saved the Commonwealth more than $44 million last year alone.
To ensure that recipients get their state funding as quickly as possible, the McCord Treasury developed an accelerated schedule that will process the more than 12,000 priority payments delayed by the budget impasse in a significantly shorter time frame.
This temporary Priority Payment Processing web feature will help individuals and organizations track the status of priority payments to school districts and social agencies once they are received at Treasury.
Please read the Frequently Asked Questions for additional information. If you have any questions, please call the Comptroller Operations hotline at 1-877-435-7363.
To simplify searching and tracking, only information about payments above $2,500 will be presented. Payments below $2,500 that have been identified by Commonwealth agencies as priorities will be processed as such, but tracking information about those payments will not appear.
Absence of information about a payment on the website may simply mean that, despite being a priority, it has not yet been transmitted to Treasury for processing.

Users can search by the recipient name or vendor ID number, the disbursing agency, or the SAP, DSN, or vendor invoice code numbers, if known. The following information will be displayed as it becomes available:
- The date that an identified critical payment is received at Treasury
- An estimated payment date
- The audit stamp date (indicating preliminary approval)
The date the payment is expected to appear in a recipient’s account through an electronic deposit or the date a check leaves Treasury.
The estimated payment date will be updated after an item has been approved by the auditors. In the event that additional information is needed, the estimated payment date will be changed to “Pending” until that information is provided.

Docketed Date: The date on which a payment request has been received by the Treasury information processing system from a Commonwealth agency.
Estimated Pay Date: An initial projected pay date (based upon best available information at that time about general workflow and complexity of review of the individual payment) will appear when a payment request is received by Treasury. This date will be updated to reflect developments affecting the date on which payment is anticipated. For a payment that is to be made by direct deposit, the date reported on the Impasse Payments Report is the date the payment is projected to appear in recipient’s account; for a payment to be made by check, the date reported is the date the payment is projected to be placed in first-class mail. In the Estimated Pay Date read “Pending,” that likely means that an additional piece of information has been requested. The payment will be processed as soon as that information is received.
Audit Date: The date on which Treasury’s auditors complete their review, audit stamp the payment, and approve it to be paid. At that point, a revised pay date is assigned to the payment and the Estimated Pay Date column will be updated to reflect the new information.
Actual Paid Date: The column provides either the date printed on a check or the date that direct deposited funds will be posted to a recipient’s account. Treasury will mail checks delayed by the budget impasse on the business day prior to the date printed on the checks.
